Valentine’s Day is coming up, and whether I was single or dating, it was never my favorite holiday. It’s still not. But now that I’m a mom, it’s a fun reason to do something special for my kids. So i’m back with a gift guide for kids for Valentine’s Day. As a mom to younger kids, I’m focusing on ages 6 and under, but included some things for babies and a few gifts that older kids might like, too. My girls both love hearts, and I love my girls. February 14th the perfect time to give your kids a thoughtful gift, some Valentine’s day greats, and heart shaped pizza. It’s not about grand gestures – but is a day to do something sweet for the whole family. And we could all use an extra reason to celebrate love, right? Here are the best Valentine’s Day gifts for kids and babies.

 

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Everyone On Your List

 

 

Valentine’s gifts do not have to be big or elaborate. This is the perfect time to gift craft kits. I like to make a special breakfast of heart shaped waffles with our waffle maker, give the kids a note with a meaningful message, and some sweet treats is a great way to show kids of all ages how much you love them. It can be a simple gift – fidget toys or a heart water bottle. Or skip the gifts and just make heart shaped pancakes or waffles and have some quality time together. I’ve even used our Easter baskets to make Valentine’s Day gift baskets for the kids but this year, think it might be fun to just lay out a few activities. It’s also really cold here in Chicago, and there’s not a whole lot going on, so it’s something fun to celebrate. 

 

A Fun Valentine’s Day Tradition

Years ago, I cut out 14 hearts and each night in February up until valentine’s day, wrote out phrases and words of affirmation for Margot. I may have skipped this last year, but both girls are old enough to participate, so I’d like to do it again this year. And I can’t wait to make Valentine’s for Margot’s class. This will be my first time, and it’s one of those mom-moments I’ve been waiting for. I add one of these felt garlands to their play room and order a few gifts, including Valentine’s Pajamas. So here are some simple, perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts for those of you with a love language of giving.
