I bought 3 boxes of chocolates from Abdahlla’s. They sold heart boxes but wanted $10-15 each for them. So I bought two at the dollar store instead. I typed up several “I love you …..” for L and Miss Gem, cut out each individual sentence and wrapped them up with a chocolate. I’ll give it to them on Valentine’s Day. The whole thing cost $26. And I still have some candy left over!
Here are the reasons I love them:
