Are you looking
for a cute idea for Valentine’s Day? Well, look no further, my friends over at
TastyKake and Pilot Pen have helped me out and sent over some goodies for me to
look at that are perfect for Vday.
First, I want
to say, when it came to making my Valentine’s Day card I know it’s not the
greatest. I’m not an artist. I made this one for one of my daughters who
actually can draw and when she sees it, well, she may laugh. Know that it came
from the heart, and I did try. With that said, the pens I used are amazing, and
I’m sad that I have to give them to her because I really like them.
These pens are more for letterhead, cards, calligraphy etc.
something more than just writing a note. They actually mean circle in Japanese.
I did use a regular piece of paper, but I really should have used a thicker
piece of paper to really showcase the beauty of the pens. They aren’t called Watercolor
brush pens for nothing. You get 7 different colors in the pack and all are
beautiful. I noticed how easy it was to
write with them and I’m sure you will too.
If you or the person you are giving this to loves to write,
this may be a great gift. Kakuno in Japanese means to write. This set comes
with everything you need, and even comes with an instruction book. The kit
includes:
·
2
Kakuno Fountain Pens
·
Pink
Cap with a Gray Barrel (Fine Nib)
·
Gray
Cap with a Gray Barrel (Medium Nib)
·
10
Assorted Refill Cartridges, 5 Pink 5 Gray

Instruction
Book
When I was younger, I wanted to learn how to write in
calligraphy, well now here is my chance to learn. There are 2 different set
options, This one which is the Cherry blossom or Red Maple. I seriously can’t
wait to try this out more and get to show people what I’ve created. The writing
is super smooth and anyone who receives this I’m sure will absolutely love it.
I’ve talked about this pen
before and it’s truly one of a kind. It makes for a great gift especially if
you want to do it with a journal or just stand alone. I love the elegance of this
pen, and how it feels when you hold it. Not only that, but it really does glide
when you write with it. You have the choice of a few different colors for the
outside, although if you are giving it to your love, may I suggest red for
Valentine’s Day. Another great value is you can refill the ink, so this pen can
be used for years, making it a gift they will remember.
You can’t have
Valentine’s Day without some treats, right? TastyKake sent us some of their
amazing Valentine’s Day line so we could try them and of course my crew was
more than happy to help. These also make for a great addition to a Valentine’s
Day present. I mean, who doesn’t love some donuts or cupcakes?
Mini Donuts
One can’t say
enough about mini donuts. They are amazing, and TastyKake knows how to make
them just right. They have a few didn’t flavors for Valentine’s Day, just in
case you want a little variety. You can
get crunch, powdered sugar or my favorite, chocolate. These are perfect to put
in a VDay bag/basket (hint hint).
If you love a
good cupcake then I would really recommend you check out these as they are fantastic,
and you get two in a pack. I mean you could share one if you wanted to, or have
them both for you; you choose.
Tender loving
Kakes
These treats
are for the coconut lovers. They have coconut in the middle and are coated with
chocolate on the outside. They are super good and just like the Sweetie Kakes,
you get two in a pack.
Take a look at
TastyKakes site to find a store near you that sells them so you can shop for
your Valentine and surprise them with a few treats. I’m sure they would love that.
I know my kids will be happy when they have some in their bags this Valentine’s
Day.
