With Valentine’s just hours away, there are still wonderful things you can do to wish that special person Happy Valentine.
    My favorite quick and easy valentine message is a squeeze and a kiss.A squeeze and a kiss
 
    If you can’t give your sweetheart a squeeze and a kiss in person, send this!

A Squeeze and a Kiss 


    1 squeeze-it container of Kool-Aid
    1 Hershey’s kiss
  Hang a note around the container that reads, “Here’s a squeeze and a kiss” but use a Hershey’s Kiss instead of the word.
 
 Another one I really enjoy is Valentine Lei.

Valentine Lei

Give your love this Hawaiian Valentine
 
    Plastic wrap
    Small Valentine cookies or candies
    Red or pink ribbon
 
Tear off a sheet of plastic wrap as long as you want your lei/necklace to be, plus 6 inches. Place candy/cookies face down and centered across the wrap, leaving an extra 3 inches at each end. Fold top portion of wrap over sweets, then the bottom portion up. Scrunch wrap between pieces and tie with ribbon so that you have alternating goodies and bows. Knot both ends. Secure ends around neck with ribbon.
 

Giant Cookie Heart

Be big-hearted on Valentine’s Day and make an oversize cookie heart.
 
    1 recipe sugar cookie dough
    Heart-shaped cake pan or pattern
 
Grease a baking sheet.

Roll sugar cookie dough and cut in heart shape or pat dough into a heart-shaped pan. (To lift the giant cookie onto the baking sheet without tearing, roll the cookie around the rolling pin, carefully lift, and unroll it onto the baking sheet.)

Bake in 375 degree F. preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Allow to cool completely.

Frost and decorate as desired.
