The Savvy Five: Valentine’s Day Gifts

Speckles and Weeds Parent Greeting Cards
Good for: Your friends who are in the same parenting boat as you
Why It Made the List: Mom entrepreneur Jane Desilets has a way with the camera when it comes to capturing the humour in our evolution into parenthood and her new line for Valentine’s Day is no different. We’re stocking up on the ‘Remember when date night was followed by date morning?’ cards for our friends and we think our beloved will get a kick out of the ‘Love is scheduling…during naptime’ card. Available at www.specklesandweeds.com

Custom Photo Greetings
Good for: The grandparents
Why It Made the List: You can literally show them the love with a custom greeting chock full of smiling kiddo faces that you make yourself on Kodakgallery.ca. There are 65 designs to choose from and the pricing (it varies but some are 99 cents each and others come in a set of 10 for $5.99) is cheaper than the drugstore variety. Or try something completely electronic and use SavvyMom Smilebox to send along some of the latest pictures of the gang, complete with music and custom text to narrate the story.

Remember, V-day isn’t just about gifts, it’s all about love. So make sure your kids get that message and spread the love anyway you can. (And that might mean getting started on their cards this week!)

P.S. We had a little facelift over the holidays and today is our big reveal. We’d love to know what you think about our new look. Good, bad or otherwise—we want to hear from you.
