A Secret Valentine

This is in the middle of Grand Central Station, aka the dining room, so it's not too difficult to drop something in every once in a while.

Every year we draw names with each other to see who will be our secret Valentine. We used to make big bags to hang on our chairs but we changed that up this year. (Mainly because we've outgrown the kitchen table when everyone is seated together.) So I bought little plastic heart shaped bowls for us to put secret treasure in for each person. We have some really creative gift givers who make poems and draw pictures, and we have some who leave a dollar or two. Little pieces of candy are fun too. Some gift givers forget to give throughout the few weeks ahead of Valentine's Day so they have to make up for it by giving something a little better when we reveal. It's fun to see who each one has and to see how they show love to the others in our home.
