Cute, Cute, Cute Valentine Boxes

So many clever grandmothers out there!  And Gramma Kathy is one of them.

She commented on my Pillow Pal post (lovely alliteration there, eh?) and mentioned the mailboxes that she made for her grandchildren.  Intrigued, I scurried over to her site and was absolutely delighted!   Since I think her idea is a ‘must see’, I’m linking to it from here (with her blessing, of course).

She found darling little mailboxes at Target that she decorated with fun stickers.  She also put her granddaughter’s names on the boxes.  When the granddaughters come for a visit, they can check their mailbox.  If the flag is up, they have mail. (Grandma’s ‘mail’ were bracelets, socs, stampers, and necklaces.  It could even be candies or coupons for activities to do with grandma.)

Isn’t that the greatest idea ever?  She also has a wonderful idea of how to handle mail items that are too big to fit into the mailbox.  Read all about it on her Sealed With a Kiss.

So, for all of you organized grandmothers out there that are prepared for holidays weeks in advance, here is something that you can do for Valentine’s Day for your grandchildren.

    Thanks so much for the post, girl! I was glad you found the mailboxes as fun as I did. Can’t wait to see what Mikayla thinks of the idea…like getting treats and surprises is EVER a bad idea!

    Keep up the good work on your blog…I love coming here to see what you’ve found for us this time!
