[Open When Envelopes by ldr13]
"Open When" Envelopes
At ldr13, you can find some good ideas for "open when" envelopes. These are envelopes that are to be opened in specific situations and can have little gifts and letters inside them. These might be more suited for those having a long distance relationships, but I think they would be fun even if you see each other every day.

[Love Jenga by Tried and True]
Love Jenga
Tried and True took a mini "Jenga-like" game found at the dollar store and turned it into a fun Valentine's game. Each block of wood has a sentence to finish, such as "The thing I most like about you is...". The game can be made for kids or make it a little risque for a fun date night.
[A Year in a Jar by The Gunny Sack]
A Year in a Jar
The Gunny Sack has a good idea for making Valentine's Day last all year. She places 52 reasons why she loves her Valentine into a jar, each to be opened at the beginning of each week throughout the year. Of course, you could put your own spin on this. You could make it 100 reasons and not necessarily make them wait each week to open one. You could make it 52 memories, 52 date nights... you get the picture. Again, another thoughtful gift that will leave your Valentine feeling loved. And that's the point, right?

Lots of really good ideas. I just bought a valentine kitchen towel for Mom that said Love You More. So your free “Love you More” jar lids were perfect. Now I must come up with something to put in the jar.
Thanks for a great newsletter.
