I told my husband last night that January seemed like a long month.
I am not exactly sure why it felt that way to me, but it could have something to do with the fact that we have had about 3 winter storms and Arctic cold fronts that pretty much crippled our town for a solid three weeks. It has been a lot of time in the house… a lot of staring at the same walls, and messes, and laundry piles… so I’m not too sad to see January go.
With a new month comes a new set of free printables. I hope you’re enjoying these and using them for all kinds of purposes. I like to incorporate mine into gifts, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, I tried to think about gift-giving when I collected these printables for you.
Remember, Valentine’s Day isn’t about roses, chocolate, and stuffed teddy bears (especially those). Anyone can give those gifts. But to click on a link of an awesome free printable and hit “print?” That is just really, really special.
Enjoy, Lovebirds!
For the grown-ups…
1. I love the metallic look to this image. This printable comes in 16×20, 8×10, or 5×7. This is perfect to print and put in a frame and give as a gift. I also think it would look adorable on a mantle or on top of a dresser. From Love from the Oven.
2. OK, OK, I know. Most, if not all, of the printables I feature on here are pretty feminine and girly. But, guys need love and printables, too, and this one says “masculine” to me. As always, you could print and frame this, or you could print it on a piece of card stock and make it into a card for your man. (Also, this comes in 4 other colors…and they are girly). From

3. Even adults like little Valentine treats, and I will use any excuse to eat a donut. These labels can be used in a variety of ways. You can print them, cut them apart, and adhere to cute individual donut boxes like you see in the picture, or you can tape or staple the labels to a treat baggie or even a Kraft paper bag with the donut inside. I’m sure your colleagues or friends or mommy group will think you are pretty awesome if you show up with these! From

For the kids…
1. I love this alphabet printable. This would be a sweet little gift for a little girl’s room, all printed out and framed up. This would also be a fun teacher gift! From
Funky Polkadot Giraffe.
2. Guys, this is seriously so adorable. When you click the link, you get the recipe for this adorable looking S’more’s Snack Mix with graham cracker Goldfish (could use Teddy Grahams), mini marshmallows, and Valentine’s Day-colored M&Ms! So, so cute! Teachers will l-o-v-e these! From
A Night Owl.
3. How cute are these? These would be so fun for classroom valentines (put in a baggie with two different colors of M&Ms), but they could also be used for a family Valentine’s Day game night. Kids will literally eat these up! From
