All the Love

Valentine's Day is bigger than a box of chocolates and a dozen roses. And while we value romantic love — yes, our hearts swell at the thought of a chubby cupid running amok with an arrow aimed at a chosen few — we believe that everyone deserves to be celebrated on Valentine's Day. This year, we challenge you to put aside historical origins and preconceived notions about this holiday, and view it as an opportunity to reach out to friends, unlikely suspects, and anyone who has made a difference in your life, and let them know how much they matter to you.

Handcrafted Valentine Potato Print

Family: If you've got the time and the interest, engage youngsters by crafting cards together and sending mail infused with affection to one another. Set up an inter-family mailbox in your home where cards can be placed and distributed to fellow family members. 

Let's Have Coffee Valentine (Featuring "i'm hooked on you card" from Egg Press)

Friends: In addition to current friends, reach out to someone from your childhood with whom you've lost touch, or send a quick note to a new acquaintance whom you hope to know better. Thank friends for the time they devote to your friendship. Invite a future friend for a coffee date. 

Co-Worker Valentine

Work: It's very possible that you spend more time with them than with your family: CO-WORKERS! Celebrate the unsung heroes of your everyday: current co-workers, former co-workers, people who work in the same building as you. Let them know that you appreciate their contributions to your day-to-day.

Classroom Mini Valentines

School: Whether in grad school, preschool, or anywhere in-between, students surely benefit from words of encouragement, and the support lent by a simple expression of adoration. Many of us here at Write_On have a soft spot for Classroom Valentines, which have a knack for keeping it light, fun and pun-filled!

Funny Lover's Valentine

Lover: Don't let a fear of blushing deter you! Honor the love of your life with a silly sentiment if the thought of poems and serious declarations of adoration are too intimidating. Let the puns and inside jokes run wild!
