Opinion please (pics)

I am doing some valentine baskets, can't afford any more baskets at the mo, what with 50th birthday, easter, 21st birthday and christmas too.
I didn't want to spend too much either. I used some tins (biscuits) and I had about 100 large red envelopes and a tube of strong prit stick doing nothing and made these.
Honest opinions do they look okay?
100_0001.jpgThank you for looking.

    Fantastic! I'd never have thought to make anything like that - they are lovely!
    Now, what are you going to put in them? :)

    Thank you everyone, you know sometimes when you have this great idea and you think it's going to be okay but sometimes others see it as complete tat.
    They're for my family so I don't suppose they'll care what their goodies go in but it would be good to know they're not rubbish.

    Glad I gave you an idea NikNak, will be interested in seeing that.

    I'm putting in a little bear and valentine balloon from woolworths, some sparkling wine from asda the little bottles, some homemade heart chocs and heart lollies- stuck in some oasis so they'll stand up some iced heart cookies and some bum cookies and some cupid poop and maybe a paper rose.
    This is all subject to change as I can't seem to make my mind up. LOL

    danksybaby, this is the one I did myself, the receipients are all older

    Valentine’s Cupid came last night
    and left this little wrap
    A very special gift for you
    A bag of cupid cr*p (can’t say it on forum but you get the idea)

    The one on the web is

    I couldn't send you flowers
    and candy wouldn't do
    and mushy cards just didn't
    say the things I want them to.
    So I got you something special
    and here's the inside scoop
    I found you something very rare
    it's genuine Cupid poop!

    The choc heart lolly moulds I got from cakesandcookies, the bums are just the tops cut of heart shaped cookie cutter with point cut off and I'm going to ice them like *nickers.
