Brainstorming Valentine's Day

Can you believe we are already talking about Valentine's Day?  It's just around the corner.  This is our first year of having school Valentines to do - and I feel like there is a little bit of pressure.  With only thirteen kids in the class, I don't have the excuse of "too many to do."  They can all be perfect - technically.

But what to do??  I've been brainstorming ideas that would be clever, useful (no junk), and as little candy as possible.  My kids get plenty of candy all year round.  They don't need more candy.  Really ever.  I assume other people feel the same way.  I could be wrong.

I found a lot of really great ideas.  Now I have so many great ideas that I'm at a standstill trying to choose which one is right.  

What are your favorite homemade Valentines?  I haven't even gotten to the projects I want to make for my kids!  Eek!
