Valentines Day has come and gone and Michael's arts and crafts store is making a last effort to sell off the leftover holiday merchandise, to make room on the shelves for the Saint Patrick's day and Easter items.
Most of the items on the Valentine's display are listed at 60% off. It makes me wonder who will be buying them even at a good price like that. I know that I have no use for making a purchase and packing them away until next year.
These red, white and pink boxes are sold as mailboxes for students to place on their desks and receive Valentine cards that have been created by their classmates and delivered to their box. When I was a kid we used a shoebox or any old box and decorated it in anticipation of the Valentine cards we would receive from our friends. The teacher provided a list of all of our classmates names and it was a good exercise in writing the names and then reading them so we knew which mailbox to place them in.
Some items that are not Valentines Day specific might be a good deal though.
There certainly seems to be a lot of Valentines Day products left over after the holiday has passed! I wonder if they ordered too much or if sales were not as brisk as they anticipated.
