Last minute Valentines Day gift for the teen or tween

Earlier this week my kids asked where all the Valentine’s decorations were.When they were little I decked the halls with hearts and love. This year — nada.

For the last few weeks,  I have been in full “Valentine’s mode,” filling Etsy orders and working on projects for others, but our house was bare, and I had nothing for my sweeties.

With local stores pillaged of all red, pink and heart candy (and I hate buying that junk any way), I decided to give my kids what they really want — and what was easy for me! I know it shouldn’t be true, but when you are a teenager, it is all about the $$.
