Since they’re “poppers” that burst open, I added labels to them saying, “Bursting with joy to have you for a friend! Happy Valentine’s Day.”  Not only are they fitting for the gift, but they’re also age-appropriate for the little ones!

    Id be pretty grossed out if my kid came home with a used toilet paper roll…you should have used paper towel rolls cut im half.

    Ok Dusty – imagine me scouring thru the bathrooms in my office, looking for almost empty rolls – ha ha! I haven’t done Valentines for the last 2 years but this year I am going to do these :) I think I will put candy and dollar scratch off tickets in each one! Thanks so much for the fun idea!
