Valentine, I’m a sucker for you!

My third son has nearly 30 kids in his class. (It’s a double class with two teachers) Needless to say, with 4 kids, and one in a double sized class, class treats can put a strain on the budget! Last week, I went to Staples and found several packages of the Original Gourmet “World’s Best” Lollipops for $1 each!!! Twelve big lollipops for a buck! I gleefully purchased the remaining three packages. I realized pretty quickly that I did not want to make a Bow and Arrow favor for two classes, nor did I want to make lightsabers for two classes. Then, I remembered my lollipop purchase and thought for a minute…Valentine, I’m a sucker for you! popped into my head, and I was sold. This would be my son’s Valentine favors for his classmates!!! I made the Valentine, I’m a sucker for you! tags pretty quickly and I only needed to print two sheets. I cut the tags out and folded them over the lollipop sticks and stuck them together. Voila! In just a few minutes, I made 30 lollipops for my son’s classmates and he loves them!
