With two boys in two different classrooms at school, we needed 44 cards plus 44 candy treats. The Valentine’s Day cards they wanted were almost $6 for 18, so I needed to buy two packs for each kid. And, of course, my 8-year-old didn't want the same as my 5-year-old. Then I realized, let’s try something different.
We walked over to the kids' toy section and I found 100 sports trading cards for $3! I bought one pack of cards and a bag of lollipops. The boys loved the idea, especially my 8-year-old, who was having a hard time accepting the fact that he might have to buy something pink and red!
