Another gal who works hard day in and day out. Teachers love receiving notes of encouragement for all their hard work, and sending a Valentine's Day card is a great way to say thank you, two months in to the new semester.

Neighbor
I'm a firm believer that we need to live in deeper community with those around us, and what better person to start with than your neighbor? Have the whole family pitch in by writing an upbeat Valentine's Day card to your neighbor, paired with a baked good or candy. It'll be sure to make their day, and if you've never introduced yourself to your neighbor, this gives you the perfect opportunity!


Grandma
She's the queen of writing snail mail, but how often does Grandma receive a card from you in the mail? She's sure to love a pink and red Valentine's Day card this season. You can keep it short and sweet, just let her know you're thinking of her and are so thankful for her. She's sure to love it!
