Valentine's Day Gifts

Facts

2012 Product News 

• Saying “I love you” or “I appreciate you” isn’t always easy, but with new Blooming Expressions, it’s easier when you say it with a flower! The stunning red and pink blooms are showcased in a beautiful vase—press a button and watch the blooms unfold to reveal a heartfelt sentiment.
• The Love 'Em? Bug 'Em! plush bug provides a fun way for parents to show kids how much they love them. With two varieties available this year, this stuffed bug can hold cards, stickers and other small gifts for a fun way to encourage a child. Parents can continue to place encouragement cards and gifts in the bug as time goes on.
• Love You Forever, Guess How Much I Love You, Under The Same Moon, That's What Grandmas Do, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and All the Ways I Love You Hallmark Recordable Storybooks are featured during Valentine's Day. Recordable Storybooks enable the gift-giver to record his or her voice reading the story. As recipients turn the pages of the book, they will automatically hear the voice of the storyteller.
• Hallmark offers five Interactive Story Buddies during the Valentine's Day season — Abigail the Bunny, Cooper the Bear, Watson the Raccoon, Bigsby and the latest addition, Christopher the Sleepyhead Bear. Coordinating books feature each character in a lead role. When someone reads the storybook, the Story Buddy responds with sound to certain words and phrases. One interactive storybook is free with each purchase of a Story Buddy.
