Kids love Valentine’s Day so much- the excitement around this holiday almost rivals Christmas each year! I can understand…knowing that you are going to get a bag full of candy and messages from your friends is always exciting!! This year, I thought it would be fun to share some ideas for boys to give their friends- nothing mushy or gushy, here…just WHEELIE COOL fun! And, guess what? No candy!
A pack of inexpensive cars (I found these at The Dollar Tree) becomes a really cool way to share the kindness on Valentine’s Day!
Add a super-cute Valentine card (these are available at Anders Ruff Custom Designs)…
…and you have an awesome little Valentine’s Day gift for your children’s friends! The cards from Anders Ruff are easy- you simply purchase the file, and it is sent to your email. You can print as many as you like!
I packaged them in cellophane bags from Party City. Or, you can stick the car to the card (with tape or a Glue Dot) and hand them out without the bag, even! They are so cute and easy!
Add the names, and you are all set!
I hope this gets your little motors running just in time for Valentine’s Day! Have fun!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.
CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS
Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
