This Valentine Mailbox from Tip Junkie is adorable! Looks pretty simple to make, too. I bet it could be used for storing other things, like Barbie clothes, crayons, or something else...

Lemon Shakes!
Lemon Shakes sound like a delicious summer treat! Plus, I never know what to do with my extra buttermilk. I may have to try it out while the weather is still warm. I found the recipe at Old Fashioned Tips.
Lemon Shake
Put 3 cups chilled buttermilk , 1/2 cup cold lemon juice, pinch of salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. lemon rind, 2 small scoops ice cream into mixer. Shake or beat thoroughly. Serve at once with a dash of ginger. Makes about 1 quart

Snack Cracker Mix
This recipe looks simple but delicious. I found it on the Old Fashioned Tips blog.
Snack Cracker Mix
Ingredients:
2 cups oyster crackers
1 cup mini pretzels
1 cup square cheese crackers like Cheeze-Its
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Whisk together the oil, dressing mix, lemon pepper and garlic powder. Pour over the crackers in a large bowl, and stir until coated. Place the crackers evenly on a large baking sheet or two if needed. Bake in the preheated 275 degrees F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool before storing in a resealable plastic bag.
Notes: I often use garlic pepper in place of the lemon pepper and garlic powder-- using 1/2-1 tsp. to spice this up. Another variation is to use garlic powder AND 1/2 tsp. of Cajun seasoning.
The cracker mixture can vary depending on your family's tastes.

I added some extra Dr. Seuss iron-ons to plain onesies to make these gifts. The possibilities are endless!
