A quick glimpse of Valentine's Day 2012 through packaging

I’m usually not a fan of naysayers. Who needs negativity in an otherwise pleasant situation? Not me. That said, whoever the heartbroken fool was who first said Valentine’s Day is all about candy was right. Just take a look at what I stumbled upon while walking through the aisles on the eve of Valentine’s Day.

In a world fueled by innovation and continual development who knows what our Valentine goodies will be packaged in next year. Boxes and bags decked out with more hearts than a cardiac surgeon will ever see could be replaced with hologram treats (it sure would be easier on the diet!) for all we know! For now, enjoy your greeting card/candy company sponsored holiday with a quick look at some of the sweetest packaging to hit the shelves for Valentine’s Day 2012.

Love this Valentine’s design! Forget Will and Kate or even Brangelina, these two will stay together forever.

Conversation hearts in a box, classic! Mr. Bear, our unofficial Valentine’s spokesman says, “CPS offers custom cardboard packaging services!”

Reese’s, in a tin! A heart-shaped container full of Skittles! It’s never too late to vary from the norm and have a little fun with packaging!

Love is in the air: Chocolate and PB have been struck by Cupid, Marshmallows are occurring naturally in the shape of hearts and Butterfingers are warming your heart while blocking the pathway inside of it.
