What are you all doing for classroom valentines? I have a little toddler and I’m not sure if other parents will hate me if I give out candy and I’d love to avoid party favor-y junk toys. I might be overthinking this 😅

We do snacks, the toys just end up in trash and landfills. This year doing mini rice krispies and pretzels!

4yo in preschool and we got cards of Amazon. They are croc shaped and come with a pack of jibbitz to decorate them. I just let my daughter loose with it.

Tbh, I really hope she doesn’t come home from her party today with slime. I LOATHE slime.

I just attached a pack of toddler teething crackers to each paper valentine. 12 packs in a box in a box, each pack is wrapped, so it worked pretty easily!

I did a pack of pretzels this year like the valentines ones

I know the moment has passed but just wanted to say: I do the cards and nothing else. I also don’t give out goodie bags at birthday parties. I’ve opted out of the bs and it hasn’t affected me or my son socially or otherwise. Just want to emphasize that that is also an option.

I get for the parents it’s annoying to get all this junk but my little one loves it! It’s so much easier getting him out of a birthday party when he knows the goody bag is the last thing before we get into the car. To each their own

OP: Yes. You are absolutely overthinking this. Do what you feel like doing as long as it is OK with the school/teacher. They will get plenty of all of it...candy, cards, junky toys. Unless they can eat it, it will end up in the trash anyway, so don't get too carried away!

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
