Giveaway: Hershey's For Valentine's Day

We're not big on Valentine's Day in our family, but the best part about Valentine's Day is all the chocolate available in the stores! ;) Who doesn't love chocolate as a gift? (OK, I know there are a few of you who don't... but most of us do!)

If you need some quick gift ideas for Valentine's Day, Hershey's has you covered. For faraway family members and friends, you can pick up Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates Picture Box and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures Picture Boxes and make a special box of goodies to mail to them. Each of these offerings has a picture frame on top of the box, creating a special reminder of home.


As a fun gift for a teacher, there is the Hershey’s Golden Apple and Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Pencil Can. The Twizzlers are individually wrapped, so the teacher can leisurely snack as they wish without worrying if they will go bad, and when they are finished, the container is a pencil holder! And for your co-workers and friends, the packages of Hershey’s variety bags are ready for Valentine’s Exchanges with a “To” and “From” section directly on the packaging!


Head on over to the Celebrate With Hershey's site, where you'll find some fun craft ideas to make with your kids, as well as recipes for yummy treats like Sweetheart Layer Bars and KISSABLES Chocolate Candy Brownie Hearts.

Win it! Thanks to Hershey's, one lucky winner is going to win some Valentine goodies - 1 bag of Hershey’s Kisses and 1 bag of Hershey’s Hugs! To enter, tell us a Valentine's Day memory!

My husbands and I first valentine day was 6 weeks after we started dating. Seniors in high school. He came and woke me up (arranged with my parents before) with flowers and we drove to school together. Then he had arranged with all of my teachers ( we only had 1 class together) to leave a single flower at my seat. It was the first time I had ever gotten any attention paid to me on valentines day.

One of the best Valentine memory I had was when I first called my now husband via long distance call and heard his voice for the first time. Plus I have no idea that long distance call can be so expensive in America. My now husband ended up paying a 400 dollars worth of telephone bill!

I remember when I was a little girl one of my friends little brothers brought a box of heart shaped chooclates to my door. At the time I remember thinking "eeww gross" but when I think back on it now it was pretty cute. ;)

One year for Valentine's Day my hubby gave me a giant stuffed monkey. It was so big and funny that I laughed for days - I still laugh thinking about it, and everytime I open my closet as it's still in there! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

When my kids were younger, one year we decorated the whole inside of the house with red, pink, and white hearts. The kids had fun making and hanging them. Each heart had a different message on it. Great memory! Thanks.

Every year my husband gets me Ferrero Rocher chocolates for Valentine's Day. Last year he also got me a bouquet of roses after I mentioned that the neighbor has roses delivered to her and I never did. I was pretty surprised he paid attention and had flowers delivered. Thanks.

My fondest Valentine's memory was of the year my husband came home early in a heavy snowstorm so he could be home with me for Valentine's day. Even though I had to drive an hour in a blinding snow storm to pick him up at the airport...it was worth it!

Erica C. said...

My favorite valentine's memory is my boyfriend bringing me my favorite dinner to work. It was really nice since I was stuck at work.

My favorite Valentine's memory is the Valentine's that my now husband surprised me with my ring. We had dated for about two years and had talked about marriage but he didn't really say anything. On Valentine's he gave me flowers.and took me out to dinner. This was nice. After dinner he gave me a card and later surprised me with my ring. garrettsambo@aol.comovent
