Or do any activities with them?

I’m seeing it more and more as a thing for kids to be involved in, as in crafts or getting heart cupcakes..do you do things like that?

Yes. Even as a child I got a chocolate heart shaped lollipop and I’m in my 40s! So it’s not a new thing really.
I get my kids a sweet treat of some sort or more- depends really. This year I’ve gone bigger but that’s because I really love the new Emma Bridgewater love heart range so… any excuse!!! Can’t really go wrong loving your kids… and telling them so on Valentine’s Day. ❤️

I got my 2 daughters a little bit of something as they both recently came out of long term relationships and I want to cheer them up.

I've also got us all some pretty heart pjs

I’ll do a special breakfast- heart shaped waffles, chocolate covered strawberries etc. I will give the kids a card and have got them a heart shaped bath bomb, some fun bath foam and a heart shaped lollipop. Just a bit of fun and my DM used to do similar for us when we were little.

I've got DD a card, I was in the card shop looking for one for DH and saw a sweet "daughter" one that I know she'll like, and a little net thing of chocolate love hearts. I know it's all a money making racket but it will make her happy.

I usually get them some heart shaped chocolates or jelly sweets so they don't pinch mine.
