My Fruit Roll-Ups

February 14, 2008.

Mark that date on your calendar, because that is the date that I officially become a "cool mom." Every single holiday, my daughter brings home these special treats from kids in her class. For Christmas, we do nothing; they send home bags and bags of candies and treats. For Valentine’s Day, we did simple Valentine cards; they send home ornate Valentine’s complete with bags and bags of treats. This year, I’ve got the answer, and it’s not even time-consuming or bank-breaking. It’s just plain awesome.

What kid doesn’t love a fruit roll-up right? I mean, they are the freak of nature fruit snack that every kid loves (as do parents because they’re not messy). Now you can customize fruit roll-ups to make them say anything you want them to say. Wait, I know what you’re thinking and yes, they do have Valentine’s themed fruit roll-ups.

Here’s how you get them. Go here and start having some fun. You can design your very own fruit roll-ups. You can use pictures, choose your font and even choose the color of the writing and pictures on the roll-up. My daughter’s design features little cupids, hearts that say "be mine" and "Love, Big I." She is thrilled that she’s giving these out and together we just saved a ton of time writing out Valentine’s and putting together gift bags.

The customized fruit roll-ups come in packages of 30 and cost $29.99 (plus tax, where applicable). There’s also a nominal shipping fee. BUT WAIT!

Three lucky readers will be able to get a box of 30 customizable roll-ups for FREE! Here’s what you need to do. Simply post in the comments below the sweetest Valentine’s message you’ve either sent or received (or, you know, just send me a super sweet Valentine’s message). Three of the sweetest entries will be chosen and you’ll be given a promotional code to get your own box of customizable fruit roll-ups (complete with free shipping)!

You have exactly one week to post your sweet message. Winner will be notified by Friday, February 1st so that you can get your code and place your order in time for Valentine’s Day.
