What is customary nowadays?

I don't remember at all what I did at 6 years old. I'm not sure what to buy for my son... "boyish" valentines for the boys in the class (like transformers or something) and more girlie ones for the girls? Or something generic for both? I don't know what to get!

Why not ask the teacher? She'd be the one who has experience with V'days at school when it comes to the boys.
I have girls. They made sure everyone had a valentine from them.
Of course, that was a long time ago.

Well my wife school nurse is sitting here and recommends...."boyish ones for the boys, and girly ones for the girls....the little girls like them better. And also as a nice thought take an extra box to school for the teacher, for kids that don't have any to give or get very many. The kids at that age love to give them as much as get them"

I promise not to go off on how hurtful Valentines day can be!!!

I used to let my daughter go shopping for them with me and pick them out. She was good at finding something "generic" that could be used for boys and girls.

We bought kitties and puppies for my 4 year old.

Personally as a Law & Order junkie, I think you should buy these.

Those would be funny in my field, law enforcement.
