Last Valentine’s Day (or anniversary or something special), I got Mr. Serious some chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements (I paid for them, too, thankyouverymcuh). They were delicious (he shared with me). They were some of the juiciest, freshest strawberries with the perfect sweetness.
This year, maybe somebody will send me some Berry Chocolate Roses from Edible Arrangements. They look delicious, don’t they? They are long stemmed, gourmet semi-sweet or white chocolate strawberries that are available in either 1 dozen ($49) or 2 dozen ($69) boxes. I always tell Mr. Serious not to spend our money on flowers that will die, but I’m pretty sure I can’t get mad at chocolate covered strawberries I can eat!
Another hit at our house are the Hershey’s Bliss® Milk Chocolate Hearts with a Raspberry Meltaway Center. While I prefer dark chocolate, the milk chocolate was a nice combination with the raspberry center. I was even nice enough to share with my co-workers who loved them.
Hershey’s also has an assortment of Valentine Exchange Snack-Size packs, perfect for the classroom setting. I had a brief though of sharing these heart shaped Reese’s Peanut butter cups with the girls’ classmate, but then I remembered they can’t have peanut butter at school. However, they also have Kisses available in snack packs as well as Kit Kats, Jolly Ranchers Lollipops and milk chocolate bar assortments.
The newest product to hit the Hershey’s shelves are Pieces. We already knew them in the Reece’s variety (ever see ET?), but they’ve recently released (just last week) York Pieces, Almond Joy Pieces and Hershey’s Special Dark Pieces. YUMMMY! These would be a fun treat to give (or to sneak into the movies on a date). I love the candy coating and the fact that they come in a resealable bag, making me a little less likely to eat them all up!
Head over to Hershey’s to get other gift giving ideas for Valentine’s Day.

WordWorld has done it again. Isabelle really loves this show. The characters (SHEEP, BEAR, ANT, FROG) and more are so cute and animated…and they are made from the letters in their name. This is another one of those why didn’t I think of that moments.
This DVD, from NCircleEntertainment and PBS features two full-length WordWorld shows; My Fuzzy Valentine and The Love Bug.
In My Fuzzy Valentine Sheep makes a special Valentine song for her friend Bear. She can’t find the right rhyming word, but her friend Fly helps her out. This one is all about rhyming words and changing one letter to make another one.
In The Love Bug, Bug wants to sign a Valentine for a friend, but he doesn’t know how to write his own name. Frog helps him spell and write his name with a little practice.
I think the lessons are very relatable to a three year old, and I’m sure even older kids would enjoy it at well.
This DVD can be purchase for $5.99 from NCircleEntertainment and is 60 minutes in total length.

I think that pretty much every person loves to have something customized (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). Whether it’s a T-shirt, a hoodie, a tote bag or a mouse pad.
Oopsy can and will customize pretty much any product you can think of. Even Ked’s shoes! So, if you can’t think of anything for grandma and grandpa for Valentine’s Day, what about a shirt with the grandkids picture on it, or even a fun mouse pad?
Beth at Oopsy sent our princess a shirt that pretty much says it all “Princess” which has some hearts and importantly a crown on it. Because, really, what princess doesn’t have a crown?
Beth had many different options for a shirt on her site, but not exactly what I had in mind, but it was so easy for the customization process to happen. She sent me a couple different options and we combined parts of one with parts of another to create just the look we were looking for.
The shirt is an extra soft Hanes shirt. It held up very well in washing and drying, too. They seem to run a little small, so I would suggest ordering a size larger than you typically wear!
Win it: Oopsy is offering one lucky Really, Are You Serious? their very own white short sleeve standard adult or standard child t-shirt. You can add your own design, picture, text or sayings, or you can choose one of their designs and tweak it to your own custom liking!! A completely customized shirt, just for you!
For your first entry: Head over to Oopsy and let me know what other item you would like to get (not mentioned here). This is your first entry and is mandatory.

edenfantasys is a great place to look for all of your spousal/significant other Valentine’s day needs. On the day that screams ROMANTIC and sweetness and loving…this is perfect.
They have a wide selection of items that I’m sure your spouse will love. Of course, they have a wide selection of adult toys, but they also have a large variety of more modest items. You should check out their sets they have available and even some interesting games that should definitely set the mood.
For example, this tie up tube top dress would probably knock his socks off. It has lace up sides allowing you to reveal as much or as little as you want.
And, when actions speak louder than words, how about some massage oil? (Are you listening men…get your ladies massage oil, and give her a massage…her tired muscles will thank you)! Of course, ladies, you can get massage oil for your men…they will thank you, too.
Head over to edenfantasys and find something for your honey for Valentine’s Day (maybe some massage oil, maybe some lingerie, or maybe even an adult toy).

Do you have a loved one, friend or acquaintance that likes coffee? If so, this is the Valentine’s gift for them.
Community Coffee is a coffee company out of Louisiana. They start with only quality, 100% Arabica beans selected by the Saurage family. Through a process perfected over the generations they have roasted a full-bodied yet smooth flavor that reflects the extraordinary culinary traditions of Louisiana. The have a large variety of traditional coffees as well as specialty roasts and flavored brews. If you like coffee, I’m sure they have something for you.
They also have programs where they give back to the community through various programs as well as give to K-12 schools who collect the UPCs off bags of Community Coffee products.
We tested out the Rich Taste of Louisiana Coffee Sampler which includes 4 whole bean bags of each roast: Evangeline Blend™, Louisiana Blend™ (Medium Dark), French Quarter Fusion™ and Crescent City Blend®. Serious Tested: There is a lot of coffee consumed in our house. Mr. Serious loves his coffee. And, I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it before, but he likes his coffee black and strong. So, he requires that it have a very good taste (but he’s not interested in flavored coffees.)
The flavor was very bold, and yet smooth and not bitter. Mr. Serious drank 4 huge cups out of the very first pot and was quite pleased. The coffees all have a very robust fragrance which is enjoyable (often, the smell of a coffee bean is too much for me).
WIN IT: Community Coffee would like to send one Really, Are You Serious? reader their very own Holiday Traditions Gift Basket. For your first entry: Head over to Community Coffee and tell me another item you like (not listed in my review).
