Shower Love Notes
January 15, 2010 by Shelley
I may or MAY not have had to erase some of our ‘shower love notes’ before taking these pictures. 
Shower Love Notes make me Smile! This is the funnest way to keep a romance alive. Someone gave me a box of shower crayons for my bridal shower almost 7 years ago {yikes}! -Now, the first thing I do when I hop in the shower is look for a new love note ‘to me: from him’. Sometimes they are just a simple ‘I love you’, sometimes its a note of encouragement, sometimes its a ‘thank you’, and sometimes it just may be suggestive. You get the idea!
What a great and inexpensive Valentines Gift! You can get Crayola BathTub Crayons at CrayolaStore.com
. I used to find them at Walmart, but they’ve been missing lately. I’ve noticed crayola markers there, but they just don’t work the same (they bleed). -BurbMom has a recipe for shower paint that you could also give a try (If you try it, let me know if it ‘writes’ well)!
I always keep several of these on hand in my ‘gift box’ to give out as bridal shower gifts (usually paired with towels, bubble bath, loufas, etc).
And just because we love our readers {and because I have a few extras in my gift box}, anyone who leaves a comment on this post will have a chance to win a box of shower crayons to be given away Saturday morning! Comment away…{we love comments by the way}…
****Updated, Thanks for all the comments! They make our day! Random.org selected Marianne who said “Love love love it! I’ve been thinking of new fun ways to show my husband I love him and this is it! Thanks for sharing.” Because we had so many comments we decided ‘our readers rock’... so here is a SECOND winner….Congratulations to Esther who said, “This sounds like such a fun, cute idea! Even for some of us “oldies” who’ve been married for 39 years!”***
If you didn’t win, you can grab some at CrayolaStore.com. What a fun inexpensive Valentines gift!
Here’s to getting a ‘little dirty’ while getting clean!
So so super cute! What a great idea!!
This is such a fun idea!
Love this idea! Must remember it for Valentines Day…
I LOVE these crayons! We have been doing this for a year now with the kids and with each other! My husband is currently deployed and I hope to fill the shower with messages when he comes home… right around Valentine’s Day!
Love love love it! I’ve been thinking of new fun ways to show my husband I love him and this is it! THanks for sharing.
Such a cute idea! Love it
So cute! I’d love to surprise my man!
Love it….
I’d love the opportunity to leave some “shower love” for my husband!
I don’t know who would have more fun with these…Me or the kids! Great idea!!!
What a great idea! Think it could create a few sparks in my 27 year marriage (LOL)!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love this idea! We like to leave notes on the fridge, but this is way better! Thanks!!
LOVE it!!!! Thanks for the great idea!
My kids love these. Thanks for a new idea for using them.
That is such a great idea, I would love to try these out. Though it may require my hubby and me to wear our glasses in the shower to read the notes. We are quite visually impaired:)
this is such a cute idea!
Super cute idea!! I’m thinking one for the kids’ bath and one for the master bath!!
Love this idea!! I have notes my hubs wrote me when we were dating (9 years ago) and I’ve missed not getting little notes from him anymore. These will totally be on my next shopping list!
HOW FUN!
LOVE THIS IDEA! What an inexpensive, thoughtful Valetine’s gift idea for the whole year!
This sounds like such a fun, cute idea! Even for some of us “oldies” who’ve been married for 39 years!
Love your ideas! My husband would love this. Would also be fun to write notes to my older kids – like Good Luck on your test, You Were Great in that Game last night and I love you!
Sounds like a cute idea. Do they clean up easily?
***They do clean up well!!
Just use a scotch brite pad with a little cleaner and they come right off (don’t try with a washcloth,…you’ll be scrubbing forever!)***
oh my – i LOVE this
!!
These are too cute! Even if I don’t win, I’ll be venturing to Target or Walmart for a pack
What a cute idea and just what we need! I’m gonna go out and see if I can find some as soon as i get the chance.
What a great idea! Can’t wait to surprize my hubby -Thanks!
What a great idea! I can’t wait to try it!
I love this idea! I just don’t know if my husband would actually write anything!
Cute idea!
I’ve been looking for a new way to have fun with my hubby…you can say things out loud, when you put things in writing it makes all the difference in the world for whatever reason! I’m going to try and find some of these ASAP!
Unfortunately we live in an apartment with only one shower and four kids but it would be really fun to leave the kids notes as well (I think they’d get a kick out of it).
I love it! My husband and I are in our first week of being apart for 5 weeks. I would love to be able to write him a shower message right about now
this looks awesome! i’ve also been looking for these for my kids everywhere, but i loooove the idea of ‘mom and dad’ using them!!
I Love the idea- super cute. I don’t know who would have more fun the kids or mom and dad. Maybe I’ll have to buy two sets. Thanks again for the awesome idea
Such a cute idea!
What a cute way to leave each other love notes!
I absolutely love it!
What a great idea! I loved the idea of leaving notes for my husband, but I am equally excited about leaving notes for my children. I used to send notes in my kids lunches until they got too old. Now I can give a little encouragement in the morning without the embarrassment factor. That is a great thing for the precarious teenage years.
I have a feeling im missing out on a lot in my marriage how do you come up with such sweet fun and playful stuff?
What a great way to spice things up!
Love this idea. We need something like this, we are both so busy and this would be a great way to stay connected
Does it come off fairly easily? I love my husband, but I don’t want to spend my days scrubbing tiled walls if I can avoid it.
***They do clean up well!! Try a test area on your tile first though. I just use a scotch brite pad with a little cleaner and they come right off (don’t try with a washcloth,…you’ll be scrubbing forever!)***
I want to do this!! How fun!!
This is a great idea. I’m always looking for something different to do for Valentine’s Day than the usual!
This looks likes a great way to put a smile on everyone’s face…especially these cold winter mornings. I will have to try to find these crayons here in Canada.
I think I better head to the store and pick me up some shower crayons!
that is just the cutest idea!
I LOVE this! Such a cute idea!
My kids used to have a set of those and I never thought about using them, but what a fun idea!
What a great idea!! Love it! Can you write on tile walls with them?
wow! Fun idea!
Wow, what a great idea!
Love this idea!!!
jen e.
Love it!
This is a great idea, but I think my kids might try sneak off with them when I’m not looking
what a CUTE idea!!! I’ve seen these and thought they’d be fun for my kids but never thought about me and the hubs using them!!! brilliant!
what a great cute idea! =) i love it!
that is such a fun idea! i can’t wait to try it!!
My Husband and I love to write notes to each other but I never thought to leave them in the shower….this looks like a lot of fun!
What a fabulous idea! We always do inexpensive v-day gifts and this would be PERFECT!
I LOVE this idea! How creative!
What a fun idea!
What a great idea. Love it!!
I love a clean shower but I may have to give that up for such a romantic way to keep in touch
what an adorable idea!
Love it!!!
Great idea! I work a different shift than my hubby and this is
such a sweet idea to leave a romantic note in the shower for him
to find when he awakes….
bow.chicka.wow.wow!
things could get a little spicy in the shower with those!
fun idea shelley!
How fun, we have them in our kids bathroom but they might find a place in our shower now to help keep the romance alive!
What a GREAT Way to keep the romance ALive! I love that! With Valentines Day coming up, this is a great way to keep it going even after the Holiday!
Thanks for sharing
I love shower crayons!
Oooooh, what a nice idea!!! Love that!
Suzanne
Wonder if my kid will notice that I snagged his TaDoodle crayons?
What a fun way to chat up the family! Love it!
awww! Thats so cute Shelley! I will have to get some of those
After 13 yrs of marriage this could be something fun and different. Never seen them before!! love your posts!!!
How cute!
I have used a dry erase marker on the mirror – but the shower one is not out there for all to see.
You and Brad are so dang cute! You gave us this idea years ago and I love to leave notes for my kids too!
Those are SO cute! Love the idea.
What a fun way to communicate
)
Fun idea! Its one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Shelley, do you have any idea if you can use these on tile showers??
I just checked the packaging and Crayloa says “Product may stain unporous surfaces such as UNsealed tile grout. Test on a small area first”. I think they would be fine,…but just test it out first. Does anyone else know the answer for sure? I don’t have fancy shmancy tile! {not yet at least}
Such a cute idea and much easier to clean up than the old lipstick on the mirror trick!
Love this idea. I bought the crayola window crayons and markers to write birthday messages on the mirror for my daughters. They loved it.
How fun!
Ooooh! I want some! So cute!
Such a cute idea! I used to have my kids use these but never thought of them for me:) Love it!
I’m definitely going to have to start doing that!
Now THIS is exactly why I love coming to this site! What a cute idea for bridal showers, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day. I think I just may have to win these!
Oh my heck!! That is the cutest idea ever!! Way to space it up!!!
Thanks so much!
I love these!
I think this would be a cute way to add more “love” in our home!!!
Oh!! I LOVE this idea!!Ive never thought abt dh and I using these-only for kids is what I was thinking-so I LOVE it!! GREAT idea!!:) Dh would love these notes!!
I LOVE this idea! I was thinking of getting a white board marker to write on our mirrors, but this is way more cute!
Oh I love this idea!! Can’t wait to use it!
Oh my. This is adorable. It REALLY makes me want someone to love. Thanks for this idea. It would be fun for a lingerie bridal shower gift!
Love this idea!
Great way to spice things up! Love it!
Thanks for the chance to win

Great idea!
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing! Hope I’m lucky this time
CUTE idea! Great Vday gift!!!
What a great idea! I would have never thought to use these with the hubby…thanks!
This is a fab idea. I think my kids might run off with the crayons though. I would love to give it a try!
LOVE this idea!!!!
Very fun idea. Thanks for sharing!
That’s really sweet!
Jen VG
you seriously rock.
GRRREAAT IDEA!!! I LOVE this. What a cute suprise for hubby. Are they hard to wash off?? I WANT…NO, I NEED some!!!
I love this idea and I’m not a young-un!!! wink wink….If I don’t win these I’m going to go look for some!!! thanks for the idea!!!!
Oooh, I hope I win!
What a great idea! I’m so using this for Valentine’s!
What a wonderful idea, wish we had a master bathroom
Very Cute idea! My kids have used those crayons, but I’ve never thought of using them. I’m totally going to do this!
I am totally going to steal this idea!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea!!!!! OMGoodness!! I sooooo need to find these
Thank you soooo much for sharing this idea 
PS: Does it clean off easily??
I love this idea! Do you have readers at home? I have one that wants to know the meaning of EVERYTHING, so I wonder how this would work with her sharing our shower. This might make it worth using our other shower, instead!
What a fun idea! I wonder if it works on tile, too? Anyone tried?!?
Cute Idea! Walmart also sales washable crayons that are right next to all the other crayons, and they work great! I have also been doing this for years! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Found your link via Skip To My Lou blog. This is a wonderful idea!! I love it!
What a simple, cute idea. I’m so glad I found your blog. And I think hubby will be glad if I win!
Thanks for sharing a fun V-day idea–I actually found some at Target for $4.99 a package. Not too bad!
LOVE this idea! Maybe this can replace the “i love you” pitcher of cold water over the shower curtain. =) I don’t know if I’ll get that lucky, but I can’t pass up on this fun idea! Thanks for the post!
Oh dear, do I dare get these for my husband? He’ll be in there all day! We used to do dry erase marker notes on the bathroom mirror but noticed when it got steamy that we could still see some of the old messages. This will be much better, if we can keep the kids out of our bathroom.
we just celebrated our 35th wedding aniversary on the 18th. we used the same idea writing in the steam of the mirror. i going to do this, because now we actually have a bathroom that is adults only! well except for Holiday breaks when the house fills up and no bathroom is private. the oldest daughter is getting married 10/01/10, maybe i can make her blush at her shower.
I love this!!! My hubby and I often leave eachother messages on the bathroom mirror with dry-erase markers, but now we can be a bit steamier without the chance of someone else seeing it!!!!
I have also use the window markers I believe made by crayola for the mirror…it has been awhile I need get some more….love your site:)
I actually thought of this the other day. My daughter has bath markers, so I thought “why not write a note to hubby”. He never said anything about it, but he had to have seen it the next morning. Oh well.
I also write things on his sandwich bags or napkin for his lunch.
What a great idea! I made a little dry erase board for the master bath that my hubby and I write messages to each other on, but I LOVE the shower idea.
Thank you! Always a fun site-my guilty pleasure… 
Love this idea. Our house is on the market right now but I’ll pull some out in the new house.
This is a cute idea… I had a similar idea (haven’t done it yet, but this reminded me); I thought about writing a love note/letter and having it laminated and hanging it in the shower. Should be fun
I saw this trick over at Love Actually and went and bought some crayons on eBay straight away! I’ve just received them and can’t wait to have a shower tomorrow morning! You’ve got a brand new fan in Melbourne Australia…keep the ideas coming!
I love this idea!
Question- When giving the shower crayons as a wedding present do you include a note to say how you personally use them and how fun it is? I would like to give them as a gift but am afraid that my friend would be like, “why are you giving me children’s bathtub crayons?”
I either tuck in a note, or when she opens it, tell her how it is fun in your marriage (or mine
). Feel free to direct her to this post! 
What a fun idea! Thanks!
This is tooo cute!!! Love them!!!
I LOVE IT!
It has been SO much fun to do this…who knew Husby was such an artist!
Although we had to go with regular washable crayons, cause I was too impatient and wanted to get started and couldn’t find bath crayons at my Wal-mart…oh well it still works.
I even got a little bragging for it!

THANKS for the great ideas!
I love this idea! It’s a fun way to say all those things we forget to say during the chaos of the day! Thanks!
I can’t wait to do this!!! with 4 kiddos this might be a way for us to finish a conversation- lol
Thanks for the idea!
