It’s getting close to that time of year again! The night where you can get all gussied up for a date or, in my case, eat every chocolate item I can get my hands on while watching a cliche love story and laughing incessantly with my roommates. Though I have a boyfriend, February 14th is still a day that reminds me of all the love I have for the wonderful friends in my life.

Being the publicist for our stationery products here at Chronicle gives me quite the head start on surprising people with tokens of my affection. While I miss the days when a crush would stuff my locker with a cute handmade valentine, these sweet notes do the trick!

I created a card for each of my roommates to match their distinctive personalities. My free spirited roommate Valentina (perfect name to get in the Valentine’s Day mood!) received a package of adorable die-cut kitten You and Me Notecards.

I surprised my roommate Alexandra, the classic romantic, with Flowers For You Notecards on her pillow (the only kind of flower I can keep alive is a paper one).

Gabrielle, my explorer and adventure seeking glamour girl, got to discover a mini package from The World’s Smallest Post Service. Hide these all over the house for a sweet surprise (the kit even comes with mini letters!).

Who are you planning on sending your love to this year? Leave a comment and you will be entered to win a prize pack of sweet stationery to write to your friends, family, and loved ones.

Pack Includes: The World’s Smallest Post Service, Flowers For You Notecards, You and Me Notecards, Our Love is Here to Stay, and This is For You.

    I love the idea of those mini packages… so cute. My special someones this year are my two little boys, who just love things that are "special". I'm looking forward to some simple and sweet ways of saying "I love you" to them.

    To my sweet husband who has spent the last 4 months nursing his mom after surgery that has made her totally bed bound. He is 1000 miles away and I miss him so much. But I am so proud of what he is doing for his mom. we love her very much.

    I really don't have anyone special but I want to surprise my friends just like what you did. I want to send them letters on Valentine's day so that they'll think that they have secret admirers. That way, they'll feel kinda beautiful and special. :)

    I will send my love to my gal pals across the west coast. We are all sophomores at different colleges, and I think it'll be nice to send a little something saying "Hey, I'm thinking about you, sweetie!" in the mail.

    Ooh, I love the stationery collection at Chronicle Books (especially The World's Smallest Post Service–so adorable)! I'll be sending love and hugs to my hubby and kids, of course, as well as my parents, sister, and closest pals.

    Last weekend I made a rubber block print and printed small valentines for all my friends from college, many of who I haven't seen in a couple years. While we've remained connected via blogs, email, and facebook, it's nice to receive physical, handmade or handwritten something in the mail. I think there's nothing better than getting something in the mail, so I try to send a few postcards, cards, and letters throughout the year.

    I love sending postcards for Valentine's Day (which we call Brownie Cow Day), and have a list of about 25 friends who will get one this year. Plus, I will do something special for my husband. Time to get busy!

    Usually I don't send valentines, but I moved across the country last month and left all my friends and family behind. So this year they will all be getting something special in the mail from me.

    I'll be sending my love to my two-year-old son Collin. He is one of my best friends and finds so much joy in the simple things. It's a good reminder to laugh a little every day when I am with him!

    I'm sending letters for Letter Month; one of which is going to be to my husband, who (for the first time!) actually WANTS to celebrate Valentine's Day!

    I would love to leave some little posts around for my Mom to find. My Dad isn’t the most romantic person, so I try to make her feel special. She’s not only my Mom; she’s my best friend as well.

    My daughter would love the mini set! so cute!

    In Latin America, Valentine’s Day is widely known as “El Dia de el Amor y la Amistad,” which means “The Day of Love and Friendship.” I have always sent Valentines to a long list of friends to let them know how much I love them all. Because of Letter Month, I’m expanding my list this year to include co-workers too!

    to my fiance who is working 2/3 of the continent away (I'm on the East Coast, he's out West)!! also to my bff maid-of-honor <3

    I am sending my love to all those that have had their hearts broken, anyone that feels that they are unlovable and everyone that needs a little extra love on Valentine's day. I am lucky to have so much love in my life, a beautiful daughter, a wonderful husband and supportive and loving friends and family. There's enough for everyone!
