Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine for Teachers. Gift this printable to an educator who has made permanent impact in your life!

Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine

As a former teacher, I am always looking for ways to show thanks to our children’s’ current teachers. Cute gifts I have bought in the past are candy bars at checkout, small $5 Starbucks gift cards, and even adorable Vera Bradley binder clips (those were loved!) I like to randomly gift things, sometimes on Thankful Thursdays, but I also like to recognize them on holidays – even if minor holidays like Valentine’s Day.

As you know we love Valentine Printables (okay we love all printables), so we came up with this Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine for you to gift to your favorite teachers. Give to a teacher who has colored your world or made a permanent impact on your child – full pun intended!

Looking Sharp Sharpie Valentine Supplies:

Most obviously, sharpie markers are needed for this Valentine. We suggest printing on 8.5 x 11 card stock. If you care to save on printer ink and paper, we were able to send ours to Staples (online) and print for under $1. More on that below. We used curling ribbon we had in our gift drawer, but Amazon has some cute Valentine Ribbon too!

Enjoy these Valentine’s Day Decor for your home with a focus on fourteen inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas – Happy Valentine’s Day!

14 Inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas

Have you cleaned up your Christmas decorations? Before I had kids, and maybe when I only had one, my Christmas decorations were always put away by the New Year. Every year and with each additional child, the date became later and later. This year, with the expected delivery of the twins, we decided to go very slim on decorations. I just couldn’t handle the babies coming and getting everything put away.

Anyways, moving on from the holidays of last year and onto the first holiday of the new year – Valentines Day! Last year you guys loved our Valentine Home Decor Ideas. This year we wanted to go a step further with a focus – Valentine Mantel Ideas. I think if you are going to decorate any piece of your home, at least get the mantel. If you can’t get to anything else in the home for that season, no big deal. The mantel is the staple of most homes and having it decorated allows you to feel as if you didn’t slack. If you are doing more than just the mantel, take a look at our Valentine Home Decor Ideas for insight.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
