Have you seen the Stampin’ Up! Monster Hugs Valentines? They are so cute!
You can get pink ones for girls and the blue ones for boys! They are quick to put together –
- sign the back
- add the candy – there is already adhesive there for you to stick it on
- cross the arms – the slits are there for you to latch them in place
- add a heart – it’s self-adhesive
- add a wiggle eye – they are self-adhesive too!
- give them out!
The backs sides are so cute too – little hearts on their bums….
And they are a good price too $5.95. Each package has enough to make 18 monsters – you just need to choose if you want BOYS or GIRLS or get a pack of each. And decide on the candy – I used heart shaped lollipops for mine. Stampin’ Up! has been showing them with chocolate nuggets. And I’m sure there are other candies that you could use too.
Oh here is a little tip I just realized – duh – wish I had figured this out earlier. A lot of the candy – like these lollipops have expiration dates that are a couple of years out. These were actually some I bought last year! But they haven’t expired. So that made me think – I could be buying candy on sale the day after each holiday! Just check the expiration dates on it and see if it will last for the year – store in a good spot and your good to go and saved a bunch of money. Just a thought.
I’m off to go apartment hunting in San Francisco with Kyle. It’s a long way from Georgia but it is an amazing and exciting opportunity for him to work for Facebook. Wish us luck on our quick trip that we find something.
