[QUOTE=gardentraveler] I got yours too, **freckafreee**. And I think someone upthread mentioned something about bottles too. Very clever. I’m still smiling at all of the cards and goodies. GT [/QUOTE] You’re right! I missed **Way Too Happy** ’s reference! I’ll 'splain so the rest of the Valentine Dopers don’t think I’m a genius, regardless of **The Punkyova** ’s generous comment. I got the idea from my sister, who sends these all the time, as it is a concept highly adaptable to any occasion. Take a plastic bottle (I used smallish water bottles). Put into it anything you can shove through the neck. (Note: Hershey kisses are about a millimeter too big, so I had no choice but to eat the whole bag of Valentine kisses.) Pencils, glitter, small candies, seed packets, glow sticks, plastic animals, whatever. Screw the lid on tight, add a mailing label and postage. You’ll pay the non-automated rate for postage, but who cares? ---

I got tons of cool stuff, thanks everyone! **freckafree** and **Nawth Chucka** , I loved both of yours but had to give them up to my daughter. 🙂 **Punkyova** , that put a big grin on my face. I’m very glad it made her happy! ---

We’ll have to be sure and do this again next year. I really enjoyed all of my Valentines - more than I expected I would. It was also fun to send things out! ---

Ooooh, I got my mystery Valentine yesterday - very pretty it is too! As well as an origami heart, which is too cool. ---

My mailbox had no love for me today. Withdrawals suck. For all of you who have thanked me for putting together the lists, it was (yet again\*) my pleasure. Thank you to everyone who participated. You rock. 🆒 \*I promise, that was the last time. I’ve been quite selfish, hogging the V-Day duties in order to capitalize on the SD lurve. Now hiring… ---

Is anyone going to fess up to the pretty yet anonymous ones sent from Seattle? Bratti, was Bill Gates on our list?? ---
