Valentine’s Day is almost here – and if you are anything like me, you have had your gifts planned out for weeks. But if you’re like my brother, you just started thinking about your gift today…and now you have to spend the next four days frantically looking for that something perfect.
Online shopping is out – unless you are looking to pay a hefty overnight fee. The mall will be crowded or even worse: picked clean by the time you get there. And roses are kind of cliché. So what options do you have?
Well, instead of panicking and getting a terrible gift like this Pizza Necklace my brother wanted to get his girlfriend (yes…my brother actually sent me that necklace and asked if that was ok to get for his girlfriend of almost three years) – I have a few ideas for you.
1. Valentine’s Day Breakfast in Bed Cinnamon Rolls 2. White Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles 3. Valentine’s Day Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies or 4….
These awesome Valentine’s Day Rice Krispy Pops!
Everyone always appreciates something homemade, and these Rice Krispy Pops are easy, adorable and delicious. Not to mention a whole lot better than a Pizza Necklace.
So stop panicking and get to the grocery store! And don’t forget to have a happy Valentine’s Day!
