Shower Love Notes
February 1, 2011 by Shelley
Most of you have probably never seen this post. It debuted when HowDoesShe was just two months old. We are bringing it back,…just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Now,…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 8 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!
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). Maybe try Target? -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).
If you are stuck trying to find Valentine ideas , this very affordable and sweet Valentine’s day gift is perfect! Get ready for a playful romance.

super cute idea!!! I am so going to do this! Thanks!! wouldn’t hurt to win some shower crayons in the process
I love this idea!
LOVE it! You guys are the best at creative yet simple.
Love it! Thanks for the fun idea & chance to win.
What a great way to cheer up these gloomy sunless winter days!
Love Love Love IT! I’ve seen it done with foam bath letters but the crayons are way more fun cause you don’t have to take the message down to make your own! Thanks for the great idea!!
love the cute and cheap idea!!! Thanks
How cute is that? I know it would make my husband smile.
Wet and wild redefined. I love it!
Oh my gosh, that is the coolest thing ever! I’ve seen those crayons and just imagined kids drawing pictures in the tub. I LOVE this idea!!! I’m heading to town to find some tomorrow!
Oh these are just what I need! We use dry erase markers on the mirror for our messages, but this is so much funner
if I don’t win I am totally going to find them!
this is such a cute idea!! thank you!
We had these in our shower in our dorm in college, but I haven’t had any since. A great Valentine idea. Thanks!
Blessings,

super cute idea!! another idea I got from a marriage cd that I got was to keep a notebook where you write love notes or thank you notes in with your spouse. I have started it with my husband. We write each other cutsie notes and then leave it for the other on the kitchen table or night stand for the other to read and return a note. That way we have all the cute notes in one place to save.
OMG – I love these! My boyfriend and I live together and work opposite shifts so we barely cross paths until 8-9pm. This would be the perfect for us to let each other know how much we care & are thinking of the other <3
Thanks HowDoesShe!!
So we only have one shower…no suggestive notes here but I could leave reminders…like garbage day.
This is such a fun idea! I can’t wait to start doing this with my hubby
Super cute idea! I’m totally going with it! Thanks for the great ideas girls!
Great idea for keeping the lines of communication open while having fun! Thanks for letting us have a peek at your shower.
Hi there! I tried the Crayola brand crayons and was disappointed. Whenever I’d try to write a note to my sweetie, they wouldn’t work on my tile…perhaps my tile is too glossy. The writing would come out really faint and then the steam in the shower would make it run. Oh well….would love to give it a try with another brand though. Love the idea!
Love the shower crayons!!!
I would LOVE to win the shower crayons! So fun!!
This is *such* a good idea! I will definitely have to gift these to my BFF when she gets married this fall!
Ooh, ooh, pick me!
Awesome idea. This is sure to spark up our love life
I will be on a mission to find these as soon as this freeze is over.
Way cool idea! I would love some bath crayons. I would use them for many occasions, not just Valentines! =)
I’ve actually been wondering what I could use to write on those walls. So cute. Hope I can find some (or win some!)
My husband would LOVE to get a note in the shower!!!
How awesome! I love the idea of the bridal shower gifts! Very clever
I have used lipstick for this in the past, but that can get expensive 
My walmart has them in the bubble bath section
This is adorable! I am totally starting this in my house, and giving a set of crayons to my sister for her bridal shower.
Great idea! My daughter has some bath crayons…we might have to steal some if I don’t win.
I love this idea! Thank you! Just what i needed to spice up my v-day with my hubby!
This is adorable! I’m going shopping for shower crayons this weekend!
Ooo I love this idea!!!
Fun idea!
I LOVE the idea of shower crayons!! I want some for myself and to give my best friend who is getting married in two weeks. What a sweet and playful way to keep the romance alive!
Oooooh. These are so cute and such a good idea! Love it!
What a fun idea! Love it!
I love this! I can’t wait to leave my first note.
What a great idea!
(For our new house…which will have a bathroom not shared by our budding-readers! 
)
What a fun idea!!!
I love this! My husband and I do this- but we are running out of crayons….so I hope I win!
Love this idea!! Would love to win!!
Sweet!! Love these!!

Never heard of these! Super cute idea!
I love this! I would love to start writing love notes to my hubby!
What a fun way to keep the romance alive! I would love something like this, something for my sweetheart that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of. Love all your ideas ladies!
i love this idea!
pick me! great idea for my wife
Love it! I haven’t seen these before.
After 18 years of marriage, these would be a fun way of adding some spark! Win or not…I’m getting some! What fun!
What a fun idea!
What a great idea! Especially love the idea of giving it for a bridal shower w/ other bath accesories.
I love these
I love these
Super cute idea!
I remember when this post debuted! I loved it then and I love it now!!
What a creative way to have a little fun with the hubby…love it!!!
AWESOME!!!! I love it!!
cute idea!!!!
Such a simple yet awesome way to send messages to your loved ones. My kids had these for the tub, but why I didn’t think to use for “Us” is beyond me. 8)
I’d love to win these crayons. My dear hubby tries not to wake me in the mornings when he showers before work. This way he could at least leave me a note. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a fabulous idea. I would love to win these for my daughters since I’m stealing theirs for some sweet notes to my honey!
We could use a little sweetness in our morning rituals of bathing…..love the shower crayons! Thank you for sharing the idea! (hope I win…)
Super cute idea! I love it!!!
What a cute idea!
How unique!!
How cool is that…both for spouses and kids!!! I got to get some of these…Hope I win them…but need to buy them if I dont! Thanks for a great idea!
My kids used to have these but they’re long gone. I never thought of writing shower notes…what a cute idea!
Love this idea!
Wooo-Hoo! I would LOVE a set of these!
Oh the notes I could leave my hubby in the morning before he showers for work! lol
That is sweet, when me and my hubby first got married we’d write on our bathroom mirror with dry erase markers… this is something I should get and start doing again.<3
I LOVE this idea! How fun and what a great way to keep romance alive!!!
I’ve had the marker version of these before. All I did with them is write ABC’s. Maybe with some crayons, I could do better
This is one of my favorites! A “classic” How does she straight from the beginning! This is my favorite website! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Perfect for my upcoming 5th anniversary. I can think of a lot of things to say with these!
WHat a fun idea!! My hubby would love this
That is such a CUTE & ROMANTIC idea!!! Love it!!! My husband n I do notes on the mirror but I love the crayon idea. My kids even have those:) it just makes my day whn I see those notes too:)
Now I know a great shower gift too. Thanks Great idea.
My husband and I are so busy with work and our little 2 year old this would be a cute way for us to show each other a little love.
Saweet idea! I’d def. do that! I always thought they were for kids, ha!
Ohhh!! I want to get me some of those crayons!
I just love these! My dd would love them also.
I never thought of them anyway other than for the kids. I need to get some (and hide them from the kids)!
Ooh la la! I could use some of those! ;D
What a great idea! i LOVE it. I think my husband will find a note tonight…
FUN! I may (or may not) have to wash them off before my kid’s take a bath at night, though.
Brillant Idea. I always leave love notes on the mirror but this is even better and less messer. Would love to win me some bath crayons.
What a great and romantic idea! It would be great to win a box, but I will be looking for them in stores, too.
My kids use them in the bath just for fun… i never tought to write shower note! To cute!
What a fun idea!
After reading this post, I have been searching ALL the stores around us. Unfortunately, in a town of 10,000 people, finding these fun little crayons has proved impossible. I am still hoping to get on and order some in time for St. Valentine’s Day. Winning them would also be nice.
my toysrus had them.. for 5.50 maybe try that??
Love the “Love Notes In The Shower” my husband would totally play along with it, but I would be left with the clean up. I have scrubbed these off before!
What fun idea! I like the idea of giving them as bridal shower gifts!!
We LOVE bath crayons! The kids used to do ABC’s on the wall and write notes to each other or draw funny pictures.
What a Great Idea! LOVE IT.
Great Idea!! Love it!!
My sister had these when she was little! Such a cute idea for a bridal shower too! I have one coming up for a friend! I would love to win these for my hubby and myself! Thanks for the opportunity!
When I read the original post long ago I have been doing this ever since for my hubby. We don’t use the same bathroom so I sneak in while cleaning with the shower crayons (which I snuck from my kids bath toy container) and started writing a few messages each time. He hasn’t reciprocated once but I really enjoy doing this for him.
I love this idea. Hope I win!
My hubster and I do something similar but with dry erase markers on the bathroom mirror! Makes my heart beat just a bit faster reading the little love notes in the morning!
I’d like a set of these at my house!!
Very fun idea!!
Dry erase markers work great for this too! Not in the shower, but on the bathroom mirrors!! I leave notes for my daughter in her bathroom, and “special” notes to my hubby in ours!!! Lots of fun, and cleans up easily!!
I saw this a while back when you posted it for V-Day and thought what a great anniverary gift for my hubby.. soo i went and got them from Toyrus and wrote a sweet (short) note on teh shower.. only to find My husband wrote a long poem re-confessing his love for me… NOTE i have not gotten a poem since we have been married.. lets say i cried tears of happiness! thank you for this great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cute
I’ve done this with an old/cheap tube of lipstick too if you cant find the crayons!
we had these for our babies before but for our garden tub….um this mama is going to go buy more for big daddy and me! totally awesome idea girly!
I LOVE this idea!!! I just got the crayons today and they are already super fun for us!!! Thanks for the idea!
Very, very cute! I used this as part of my last-minute planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but it is a great idea year-round. http://musing-momma.blogspot.com/2012/02/in-spirit-of-valentines.html
I reeeeally really like this!!! Such a nice way to surprise your roommates, family or boyfriend with a nice message or drawing (:
They have bathtub crayons next to the kids soap and bubble bath stuff over in the toiletries section of the Walmart by us. Worth a shit to check it out at least.
