As Valentine’s Day approaches, we all start thinking about giving small gifts to show people our love and affection towards them. But what if we did that all year long? I’m getting you started for Valentine’s Day with some free printable treat tags, and in the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more tags that you can use any day of the year.
“Bakery Because; Give the Gift of Deliciousness” is a new campaign that has been launched by Rich Products to help remind us that it’s easy to help make someone’s day just a little brighter with a small, unexpected treat.
I’m always baking up new treats, like my Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Cookies or Red Velvet Cake Mix Bars, but there are only three of us in my home and two are children that I would prefer to not give a ton of sweets to. All those goodies would surely go bad if I didn’t do something with them. So I package them up pretty simply in cellophane bags or on a cute paper plate and deliver them to my kids’ school for the teachers to enjoy. They all get pretty excited when they see me walking in with a little care package. It’s a simple way to remind them that someone appreciates what they do (and trust me, teachers need that reminder!).
But sometimes I just don’t have the time or desire to bake, so during my regular grocery shopping I know that I can always stop by the bakery section and grab a package of cookies or brownies. It’s a small, meaningful way to do something selfless for another person just for the purpose of making them smile.
So today I encourage you to think about some ways you can show the people in your life you appreciate them. The next time you’re grocery shopping, stop by the bakery section and pick up a package of cookies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts or other small treat and think about who’s day can be made a little brighter with just that simple gift.
I’ve got some free printable Treat Tags that you can use to help prettify your packages, and an opportunity to win one of three $25 gifts to use to purchase some small treats for the special people in your life! You can download the tags below, and enter the contest using the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this post.

Love this! Thanks
My loved one is my sister who works in the emergency room of a hospital and she is very dedicated. She doesn’t have a very high status position, but she treats all who come in with superior care and help and is nice to them, esp as many are injured and scared of what’s next.
My husband spends countless days and night repairing customers heating systems and air conditioning. He tells me everyday how the stay at home mom ‘s love him for doing what their husbands don’t have time to do. I love that he knows how to fix anything around the house!
My husband. He has grown so much and come so far after a major head injury many years ago. He has now survived the TBI longer than he had lived before it. He is the sole breadwinner for our family, and looks after his moms household and property as well. A remarkable man. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
My mom volunteers with the seniors and she is great !
My aunt started a Battered Womens Shelter in our hometown. I’m so proud of her.
My friend helps raise money for breast cancer research.
Thanks for the great idea. We’re throwing a Valentine’s couples dinner at our church and I am definitely going to be making goody bags using your idea.
My son (in college) who is constantly volunteering to serve others – such a compassionate, caring and giving young man. Can you tell I’m proud?
My sister has adopted 2 orphans from Russia, one of my nieces is handicapped with ms
My daughters who have taught me so much about being patient.
What an awesome idea
My mom… She owns a shop but no matter how busy she is, she always has time to chat and listen to her customers who really need someone to talk to.
I have an aunt who volunteers for our Food Shelf – thank you.
My mom. She is the most giving person.
My brother in law serves in the Air Force and has left his family many times to go to the Middle East.
My husband. He is an amazing father to our two beautiful little girls, and a wonderful husband! I am so blessed to have him in my life 🙂
My mom, who is the most generous and giving person I know. During a recent “Blizzard” scare, waiting in long lines to check out at the grocery store, she noticed an elderly man who was looking around for a cart. They were all taken. She left her spot and went around the parking lot and brought in carts. Then she talked to the manager about opening up a check out line just for the handicapped or elderly. That is just one example of how she gives of her time and heart to help others, even people she doesn’t know.
My dad who donates a lot of money to homeless pets each month!
my mother who is a teacher!
