Free Stuff Friday: V-Day Candy Giveaway! February 8, 2008

This V-day I am going to have a cruelty-free celebration!

I am going to have a meetup with my Veggie-friendly knitting group and I am going to serve delish vegan cupcakes complete with red and pink frosting!

I am also going to spread the word about Mars!

How's that for a great day filled with LOVE?!

My fiance and I want to celebrate our valentines day seeing a movie! P.S. I love you....I heard it's super good! We'll probably buy an overpriced candy bar (Hershey's)Then we'll head back to our hotel room "which we've already got reserved" and party our cruelty free butts off! We're taking my PS2 and a ton of games! We're goin' to have a blast...cruelty free ofcourse! And my kitty gets to come along!!

Well, to be honest im not a big fan of valentines day. It's just another way to remind me that i have know one. Do you want to know how i spend my valentines, i watch the most goriest movies out there. Like the hills have eyes and hatchet and my personal favorite the texas chainsaw massacre (the remake). So on valentines night the only place you will find me is curled in my bed with my cat's and doritos. And that's the way i like it. So don't fell sorry for me.

I'm organizing a Valentine's Day potluck for vegan baked goods! I'm really excited, and it should be the perfect way to get rid of my ever-present sweet tooth in a cruelty-free way!

valentines day stinks if u dont have a valentine =[

I'm not going to do much, but I'm going to give my friends, their friends, and random people the PETA V-Day called with vegan candy and a sticker. I thought that even though it's not much, it's something nice to do.

valentines day stinks if u dont have a valentine =[

Normally i boycott valentines day :(
so i would treat it like a normal day and every day is cruety free day for me

I am going to a vegan potluck.

This Valentines day i am going to do the regular thing i do Hangout with my friends and eat some candy! but i hope i dont buy candy tested on animals :(

There was alot of stuff I wanted to do this Valentines Day. First off, Im going to my gpas house this valentines day, and he is a HUGE Mars candy fan. Fortunately, he is also a huge animal lover. So Im hoping to change his mind about the candy company. =]]
Also, im going to be going to the Humanes society to volunteer, and spend some time with the animals, since I cant see my bf that dayy.

Since many of my classmates/friends/teachers/peers are not vegan, I had a little something sweet in mind. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, but in this case, many people taste buds will be screaming for more vegan food! What I plan on doing is making a run to Whole Foods Market for some Vegan baking supplies. I am going to be making two things: Some brownies that I found the recipe for in 'Skinny Bitch in the Kitch' and some vegan frosted cookies with pink food coloring added to the 'Marta's Snickerdoodle Stacks'.

I am going to be baking the goods the night before, then bringing them into my school the day after in individually wrapped little syran-wrap things with a Peta2 sticker attached. I will hand them out until I run out of them and hand out a "Bloody Burberry" flyer along with it.

I've been planning this since January :) All I have to do is beg my mom to let me make a bulk purchase from WFM, which she should, because another V-Day thing I'll have to do is give her a neck massage.....

But, overall, the Vegan Cookie/Brownie pass out is what I'm most looking forward to. Then, my friends/peers will believe me when I say vegan food is SO much more delicious than dairy/pus/blood filled "treats".

At night, I may go with my Valentine to this Veg restaurant down here called 'Sublime' and pig out on Vegan appetizers and desserts!

You can't have a day celebrating love while being an accomplice to murder and rape, so that will be my cruelty-free Valentines Day!

I'm usually not very excited about Valentine's Day, but this year I am because I've actually got plans! This is my first vegan V-Day, so I'm planning on putting up flyers around school alerting people about Mars' animal testing. Then, I'm making my boyfriend a complete vegan meal - this is BIG, because I hardly ever cook! It'll be great to show him we can still have a great V-Day meal, cruelty-free!

Personaly i dont like Vday that much(((maybe it is the lack of romance at this time))))but what i loove to do is get a bunch of vegan candy((cruety free(NOT MARS))) and replacing peoples candy that they get. i ask of course and if they say no i tell them all the hard facts behind their precious candy. and with the confiscated candy i either throw it away or because i dont like to see anything on this earth wasted i give it to needy. ^_^

I'm celebrating my Valentines Day cruelty free by making up 50 vegan cupcakes for my friends and sister (it's her birthday) and making a completely romantic vegan meal for my valentine :]

I'm also sending the Olsen's a little reminder about being fur free, and handing out Anti-KFC leaflets with the cupcakes.

I'm not going to eat ANY candy that is cruel to animals. I will go to a dance with my friends and hang out. I'm going to try to convince my friends to go cruelty free with candy and other products. I'm going to send everyone PETA ecards and make valentines thay advertise cruelty free stuff. Happy Valentine's Day!!

well....

On my favorite holiday

I will be handing out valentines dayy pencils
&&cards
complete w/ red&&pink ribbon
also a goody bag filled with no candy.....
but
fliers&&pamphlets&&stickers galore of everything about animal cruelty&&fur&&vegitarian/vegan stuff
even copies of some animal cruelty cd's
I'm making this valentines dayy all about love....
love for the animals

I'm just cooking a special dinner and having champagne with strawberries !!! Yummy!

Well this year me and all my friends are pretty much single, so we are going to go take over the movie theaters, and our local "fancey" resteraunt and EAT good food. oh and if it works out we are hopefully gonna run around in cupid suits... if its not too cold

This Valentine's Day I'm going to buy all of my friends vegan candy! Then I'm going to tell them to not buy Mars products. Then I'll probably go over my friends house and bake vegan cookies and cupcakes!

This Valentines Day I plan on having a lot of fun in a completely animal-cruelty free way.I'll be going to a party where I'm going to bring a ton of yummy vegan treats.I'm going to make sure to boycott Mars this Valentines Day and make my friends aware of Mars behaviour as well.

IM going to bring all my friends valentines that spread the word about mars with little hershey candiesss

Instead of regular chocolate or conversation hearts. I'm making my meat eater friends vegan chocolate truffles, without them knowing and see if they like it! And print off some valentines day cards of something like animals in a cupid outfit or something v-day related while keeping it AR related too. Happy Valentines Day peta2!

I am spending my v-day with my family and friends at school.

This valentine's day I wont be out doing things most people will. I will be writing letters to companies such as Iams, Mars, KFC, and Petsmart, teling them to stop animal testing. I will also be telling my friends about the reality of animal cruelty and animal testing. This valentine's day I will not consume any mars candy and instead will buy vegan and organic candy to give to my family and friends and buying organic cruelty-free dog food for my dog. Perhaps I cannot change what my friends do and eat this valentines day. And I probably wont be able to turn them into vegans like I am, but I sincerely hope that I can change the way they think and act about things like this that are such a real issue. And you never know .. maybe I can get my valentine to become as active as I am in something like this. I just hope that people are a little more aware this valentines day and i'll make this happen by sending e-mails and handing out fliers with information on it. I hope that maybe I can change the opinion of someone. I dont even care if its one normal person, by changing the life of one person, you can change the course of history. I hope next year around this time, Mars wont experiment on animals anymore because of something that I helped do.

This V-day I am going to have a cruelty-free celebration!

i am going to go to the animal shelter and then i will spread the word about mars then spend time with my family.

because it woudent be valentines if animals have to be killed to make our sweets and were is the love for the animals with that.

This Valentine's Day my boyfriend and I are going to this absolutely amazing vegetarian restaurant. They make it very easy to figure out which dishes you can order vegan too so it's very convenient. Last year when we went there for valentine's day they had the place decorated so beautifully with rose petals on the floor and the lights dimmed. I'm so excited!!

I am going to see a movie and eat cruelty-free candy (like Hershey's)

Well, since V-Day is a manufactured holiday designed by corporations to encourage us to spend, spend, spend (!), I don't usually celebrate it. After all, unchecked capitalism isn't good for the earth or her inhabitants. I sure wouldn't mind some vegan sweets, though ;) Who says you need a holiday to enjoy cruelty-free chocolate!?

I'll be telling my peeps about Mars this week... or next week since it's Saturday. XD And for my first ever Vday I've gotten my man some NOT Mars candy and if I'm lucky we'll get to go to the shelter. 8)

How am I going to celebrate V-day cruelty free? Well for starters I bought my own paper and ink and printed out a whole BUNCH of the valentines day cards from Peta2. Im trying to hand them out to about everyone in the school. Also at Target they have vegan chocolate I buy all the time, so ill break them in 2's and wrap them in foil to hand out as well. Itll be so fun! Itd be AWESOME getting this valentines pack. I love you guyss!

Love,
Sierra

TO celebrate the holiday of love i will show some love to local animals in need.
I hope my mom will take me to the shelter to volunteer.
Also I will avoid Mars candy and tell others to too.
I hope everyone will enjoy the holiday's without hurting anything (or anybody)
Might also head down to Steel City(coffee house)and get me some organic tea!NO MILK! YEAH!
Happy Holidays!

My husband an I are going to have a great Valentine's day/night. I got him a couple of Hersey's Kisses and were taking them to the Movies, probly watch a good chick-flick. Dinner at this great vegetarian place. a Play video games all night!!!! yup the best valentine ever!!!

This Valentine's day i'am going to be bombarding my family with what they shouldnt buy or accept and tell others not to buy MARS brand candy

-I also Am going to spread the words to ALL of my friends and put more stuff and banners from here on my myspace page [already now have about 3 vegetarian friends!!!]

-Try to see if i can ADOPT an animal

-See if I can go on the school announcements and tell everyone why they should NOT buy MARS brand candy for valentines day and any other day because of the animal cruelty tests they do

-and try to explain to everyone why the MUST be a vegan/vegetarian

-and i am going to see if theres somewhere I can call-email-write to the company and tell them WHY they MUST stop doing animal testing and how WRONG it is

and the whole time while trying to do this iam going to be thinking how I hope myself and others and the people on here just might be making V-DAY a better day for the animals and perhaps more then just V-DAY being improved

I am going to do what this valentine's day is what me and my family do every year we make homemade vegan cookies and freeze some because we make alot. and on valentine night we all sit down and watch a romantic love story movie we all end up crying at the end of the movie because it has a sad ending. and because of that we end up eating all the cookies.

We are going to have a vegetarian lunch then to the movies after that. Then he said we are going to go bowling. Come home bake vegan cookies! Then make some popcorn and watch a movie together. And just cuddle eating the cookies and popcorn!

I'm going to spend my valentines day alone and might do what matthew lush is going to do [Be lonely, watching the notebook, eating vegan chocolates]

At first I had just thought well maybe hand out v-cards to my friends. But then I received an email by Action for animals & PETA2 (About printed valentine cards). And that seemed like a very good idea, so now I'm going to put in a bag, some vegan cookies made by me because I don't have them already made (There's where Pangea comes in, haha, just kidding) and with them the valentine's be good to animals cards, give them around school, and after they eat the cookies I'll tell them they where vegan! So they could see that being vegan is very, very tastey...
I know many persons don't like valentine's day, don't get me wrong I'm not a big fan...but I do believe we can use that day to teach someone about love and compassion towards animals, and that's what I plan to do!

THANKS PETA2

This V-day, Me and my brothers and sister will be cooking a vegetarian meal for my mum and dad, making sure this day is hassel free for them, because they never seem to sit down anymore xD

And during school I will spread the word about Mars and the other candies that mars also makes.

I'm single this valentine's day :( but i'm going to cheer myself up with a valentines day party!! I plan on inviting all my friends vegan and not. Ans i will convince thoose who are no vegan/vegetarian to become so with my cooking skills and a little help from peta :]!

I've already started getting it all together: It's going to be at my house I've already bought a TON of vegetarian candy from economy candy on the lower east side of manhatten (NOTHING of or relating to mars!) I'm also in the middle o baking a heart shaped chocolate vegan cake! i got the recipe from boutell.com. I also plan on making vegan milk shakes (I'm going to blend three scoops of vanilla soy icecream with vanilla soymilk) While consuming all of this cruelty free deliciosness i made a mix of songs from cruelty free artisits, (Pharell, Alkaline trio

:) HAPPY VALENTINES DAY PETA!!!

well this year i have learned that mars testes on animals so im defiantly NOT giving any mars candy to my valentine, valentines day is all about love, so this valentines day im going to show some love for animals. I made cute valentines card with adorable animals in side that have loving reminders to help save animals. attached to the animal cruelty free cards i attached vegan candy.
so this valentines day im showing some love love to animals

For V-day I will be going out to Stuart Island to visit my friend. We will make a vegan cake and play with her dog!

To be honest,I'm not one for valentines day. I'll be doing what I do every year, witch is making vegan treats and sharing them with my friends and others whom have never tried them. Hopefully in the process convincing people not to buy Mars candy this valentines day. It's not what most do on valentines day, but I enjoy it! =D

My boyfriend promised me we could go to the animal shelter together and help walk dogs and clean up.
Usually, he doesn't go with me, but since it's a special day he said he wouldn't mind going and visiting all those innocent faces. :D

I have taken out sooooo.., much time looking for great vegan/vegetarian dishes to serve @ my v-day bash i'm throwing on friday! candies like the ones above are out of the question! my friend lauren and i are both vegetarian and love all of the vegan/vegetarian food. we are throwing the party together, and hopefully we will invite non-vegan/vegetarian friends, and won't tell them that it is vegan/vegetarian cuisine, just to see if they'll like it. :] i love being a vegetarian, especially on valentines day! :]

choose me! i love peta2!

Honestly; I'm probably going to sit with my friends and we might even go to the mall.
I would probably do something fun at school... but our school took the day off so yea I will probably go to the mall.
And hand out leaflets &stickers hopefully.

well some ppl will say they will do unnomral things like a i am doing this to help the animals and blah blah blah blah. well they most likeley ARENT so i will be straight out honest the things they say they are doing on one day out of the year i do everyday. i am in the 8th grade everyday when i get home from school i check my myspace for like 5 minutes then go straight to peta print off flyers e-mail or call every corperation. I did everything mars had to offer a few weeks ago i did the wool thing with pink. i do these things naturally becasue i do these because i care for animals not because i want to win some contest. yu want to kno what i am doing this valentines day coming home after school and working on my 4-h project which i am doing on veganism and why it is healther and better for our enviorment and animals i am in 8th grade i dont go out on dates i will be working on MY PROJECT TO HELP ANIMALS!!! and this isnt any valentne winning contest special i do this kinda stuff everyday cause i care about animals!
