Spread Love and Give Back
The Love Bank is helping to spread love, kindness and gratitude throughout the world. It’s a great baby shower activity that can show baby how loved they are before they even enter the world.
It’s simple, you just:
1. Write your love note on a heart.
2. Deposit folded heart into the bank’s slot.
3. Open the bank when it’s full of love and read your love notes.
The beautiful rustic wooden heart has a clear glass front and makes a great decorative statement at a baby shower or in baby’s nursery. Plus, with every purchase of Love Bank, love and kindness are also spread to those in need and meals are being donated through their partnership with Feeding America®.
