Valentine's Day gift for teachers/moms or whomever

Many of you might have seen this in Parent's Magazine, but I am going to post this anyways. I saw an inexpensive way to give a gift to the mother of a child you keep, teacher/worker at your child's school (preschool or mother's day out as well). Anyways, you buy a regular or oversized chocolate bar and take the wrapper off. You can cut a new wrapper using printed valentine's paper or use a plain color. Before you glue it on, let your child personalize it by drawing or writing on it. Ex: "Jack is nuts over Mrs. Melanie" or something like that.
Also, I'm making rice krispie treats using the pink marshmallows and shaping them in hearts to give to the kids in Jack's MDO class. I bought red sprinkles to put on top. The Rice Krispies at Wal-Mart right now have a coupon on top for $1.00 off of any package of marshmallows which means they are about $0.30 for the entire bag! Can you see how thrifty I'm becoming???
