Valentines
The main attribute of this holiday is Valentine. This is a cute card of any size with expressed feelings for a partner, tender words of love! Valentines are sent by mail, handed personally in hand, attached to a gift. Some organizations and educational institutions establish a special container for Valentines. At the end of the day, they open it and distribute postcards to the recipients. Thus, one can confess love anonymously. Or, on the contrary, to please the whole team for Valentine's Day, put their own gifts in the form of postcards to everyone on the table.
If you show a little imagination, valentines can be made not of paper, but, for example, of dough, soap, fabric.

A gift for your beloved on Valentine's Day can be presented in the form of a cake! The easiest and most appropriate recipe for the occasion is the Pancho cake. It can be done in an hour, but it is advisable to let it soak for several hours. We bake an ordinary biscuit and cut it into two parts, but one plate should be thinner, about 0.5 cm. This will be the basis of the cake. We put it on a plate, and cut the remaining dumplings into small cubes. Cooking the cream: beat the sour cream with sugar or icing sugar, add the red dye. Free a bag of frozen cherries and mix with biscuit cubes and cream. Now from all this mass we lay out a beautiful heart. You can make a stencil out of cardboard to make it perfect. Top with the remnants of red cream. Next is your fantasy: you can write a message with cream or just decorate.

Arrange in the form of a bouquet, decorate with green onions, parsley, lettuce and pack the bouquet in wrapping paper. It will turn out a delicious gift to your beloved on Valentine's Day.
