Step-by-Step Directions

1. Stock Up on Snacks and Beverages

Choose a variety of snacks so there’s something for everyone. We love including both healthy options (like granola bars, trail mix, or nuts) and fun treats (think chocolate, candy, or cookies). For drinks, offer a mix of water and flavored beverages.

2. Fill Your Cart

Arrange snacks and drinks neatly on your cart. Use small baskets or trays if you have them to keep things organized and visually appealing. This also makes it easier for drivers to grab what they want quickly.

3. Add a Little Valentine’s Day Pizazz

This is where the fun comes in! Add cute Valentine’s cards or envelopes (here's an easy DIY), a small chalkboard with a message like “You deliver love daily…here’s some return mail!,” and maybe a bit of garland or festive decor. These small touches make your cart feel intentional and seasonal without being over-the-top.

4. Set the Cart Out on Your Porch

Place your Valentine’s Day snack cart on your porch in the morning so it’s ready for delivery drivers throughout the day. Make sure it’s visible and easy to access.
