As described. My 6 year old son chose these among all the other 1000+ valentines to choose from for his class. He’s into gems and these beat candy! These are a great size for children pockets that can last a life time if not lost. Many color options included.
These classroom Valentine’s are so much fun! This set comes with 30 Valentines cards made of medium thickness cardstock in 4 designs, 30 heart-shaped gemstones in 7 different types of stones, and a strip of glue dots to attach the stones to each card. There are no envelopes and are not a fold closure, just the card with the stone.My daughter was so excited to see these and can’t wait to give them out to her 3rd grade classmates. In fact, she’s hoping there are extras because she wants the stones. The stones are heart-shaped, are about the size of a nickel, with a polished, smooth surface. Because the stones are real, each one is unique and just as beautiful as the previous one. When I first saw them they reminded me of pocket “worry stones”.This Valentines Day card set is completely different from any other set I’ve ever seen and I think they are so much more fun than candy or stickers that are usually given. None of them have lovey-dovey verbage, they’re more friendly such as, “You totally rock”, “You’re a gem of a friend” etc so my daughter won’t feel like there may be cards she’s not comfortable giving out.I wish these Valentine’s were around when I was a kid, I would definitely have picked these to give out.
My 8-year-old granddaughter loves collecting gems and crystals, so she is super psyched to hand these out instead of candy. They have cute sayings on them, appropriate for boys and girls and not "mushy". The stones are nice, and the glue dots held nicely when applied to the card first and then pressing the heart into it. They are a bit difficult to peel and little hands may need help.One thing to note is that these do not come with envelopes. This will be an issue as there are no spots to write the recipient's name. I'll look into picking up some small kraft envelopes for this purpose.
Great neutral valentines day friendship day cards. My 6 year old had them for their friendship /valentines exchange. The little rocks were beautiful, the card stock held up well, and the words/ verbiage was not over the top lovey dovey/romantic, which for little kids seems like it could be alot. Even though the rocks may be in the smaller side, being that they are stones/rocks it keeps them lighter so they dont weigh it down and perfect for the size of the cards. The kit comes with little double sided adhesive/glue dots to stick the heart rocks on the cardstock. Would recommend keeping the cards separated after sticking the hearts on the cards as the edges can get stuck underneath to eachother when put in a bag, and need to be completed/assembled ahead of time, the glue dots/stickies are small but the adhesive works well and is effective. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice but neutral non romantic worded valentines day cards
Awesome valentines for a nature loving kid.
Very sweet heart rocks to share with classmates. The hearts are good quality and quite hefty. It is a nice pocket stone or worry stone! Nice little gift to give to the classmates.
We loved these adorable Valentine's Day cards. I love that they came in a large quantity, perfect for my son's class of 30 people. The crystal hearts are a little smaller than expected, and definitely a choking hazard, but are cute for five year olds. We enjoyed sticking the hearts to the cards with the provided sticky dots and writing our name on the cards. Sharpie didn't bleed through or smudge. I would gladly buy these again.
These were an absolute hit for my daughter's class! They loved them and how each of them had a slightly different variation of stone. It's a bit deceiving to call them "Crystals" but still a cute option.Only 4 stars because you do have to do arts and crafts to assemble them onto the little cards, and the glue dots provided were all stuck to each other which made it a bit challenging to assemble.
They were very nicely made. A great alternative to candy. The kids loved them.
The heart shaped stones are beautiful. The adhesive used for applying stones to cards is very good. Overall quality is excellent.
These are the cutest valentines! My daughter was so excited about them. So often the souvenirs with these are cheap, but these are actual heart shaped stones. Really special. Great value - they are worth spending a couple dollars more.
Value for money
Great unique valentines gift card option. My daughter was thrilled and the stones are excellent quality. The annoying part was that the description say 30 … which yes, there are 30 cards and 30 stones. But my pack only came with 24 of the heavy duty round stickers you need to fix the stones properly to the card. Regular tape doesn’t work as the stones are too heavy and fall off. She has 28 in her class so I have to go out and try to find the same kind of sticker and not even sure where would have that for just 4 cards.The whole point of ordering this on Amazon is that it’s convenient and comes to me. This has removed that convenience and I gotta find a solution so my daughter can use these cards she’s gotten excited about.I hope the company reads this and fixes the problem. The product itself is really good but this is a pretty bad oversight but completely fixable.
These cards are so cute. I love the little gems. They are really unique. The saying are cute and I love the puns. There are plenty for a classroom in here. I love each one. It’s easy to put together. I am happy with the size and variation of the stones. These are great.
Not recommended for younger kids as the stones should be a cooking hazard. Whole these may be genuine gems, I STRONGLY suspect (I’ve worked at a metaphysical shop where the owner was a lapidary) that the green turquoise is dyed howlite (just in case anyone is using them for more than just keepsakes). The other ones that I’m familiar with (labradorite, howlite, malachite, and blue sodalite (can’t speak on the rose stone and balmatin from my own experience with crystals)) seem genuinely those stones. So all of them are actual gemstones, but most turquoise beads and stuff besides are stores that sell those kinds of things are usually dyed other stones in my experience. Either way I consider this a pretty good value, especially in terms of gifting capacity. These will be sure to stand out at valentines!
My daughter who says she wants to be a Geologist when she grows up really wanted these for Valentines for her classmates and I will say that they were definitely super cute. The stones are well shaped, into little hearts, and polished really nicely. They were loose from the cards, but we attached them with some little sticky dots and they will be just fine. This helped her sign the cards first for each kiddo, then attach the stones. I will say that I think they are a bit smaller than they seemed so even having the cards a little bigger would've been better, but all in all, a good deal and a cute product perfect for a 3-6th grader.
The stones seem to have a consistent size and shape, but the patterns make each unique. 7 stone types 4 different card patterns, so you can mix them up to match the card and stone to the recipient. You get the gel type sticky spots to attach the stone to the card.The only reason I went 4 stars and not 5 is that the way the spots are covered. They are on a waxy paper sheet as would be expected, with a piece on top that needs to be peeled off to expose both sides. The problem is the top piece is smaller than the sticky spot and the sheet is folded, so the circles may stick to each other and it can take some effort to remove the small circle. The way I overcame circles that stuck together was to sandwich them between 2 cards and slowly peel the cards apart so the glue spot would stick to the cards making it possible to get the topside to release.
I like the idea of these Valentines better than a lot of the others out there. There is no red 40 dye that we need to worry about with these. Although it is a boy giving it out so we may need to worry about the other boys throwing the rocks LOL
I volunteer in a classroom and we just finished learning about gemstones right before the holidays. Once of the kids favorite thing was when I brought in a bunch of rocks for them to handle and explore. These gemstone hearts are going to be a huge hit!Each one is perfectly cut and polished to a great shine. They attach easily to the little cards with the sticky dots. With seven types of stones there's plenty of variety. I love that there's a line to sign my name. Only thing missing is a "TO" line.I plan to have this on their desks for the morning of Valentine's Day. I'm thinking I'll add little envelopes or plastic baggies to slip them into for giving and transporting. I can hear the wailing now about lost hearts on the trip home or from desk to backpacks. Even with that - 10 out of 10 - will buy again next year for that classroom crew. This is such a cool idea and so fun after the gemstone lessons!
This would be a Valentines day card I'd love to receive!! Probably not for small kids because you don't want the whole risk of them putting them in their mouth and swallowing or choking on them but perfect for older kids who don't want to give the baby-looking valentines. Would be perfect for a child who is really into geology or science, or just not the girly-girly or sports themed typical valentines. They come with cards, the heart shaped polished rocks (get 4-5 of each color and then double of one of the colors), the sticky dot to stick the rock to the card. There are different cards so you can choose amongst like 4 which saying you want. Theres none too romantic, they're all more friendly type valentines you wouldn't be embarrassed to give someone. Things like You Rock, You're a Gem, etc... They don't have the envelope but thats ok bc having envelopes just means more work. These you just sign your name at the bottom and hand out. I personally loved the malachite and the turquoise however all of them were quite lovely. Great valentines day cards for children over about 9 or 10 I'd say. Actually beautiful!
