Valentine Gift Ideas For Kids:

Giving Valentine’s Day gifts is a tradition that has evolved over time and is deeply rooted in expressing love, affection, appreciation, and friendship. Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate relationships of all kinds, including familial bonds. Giving gifts is a way to acknowledge and celebrate these connections. Giving and receiving gifts can bring joy and happiness to both the giver and the recipient. It’s a way to spread positivity and brighten someone’s day.

1. Cute Toothbrush Set

Valentine’s Day tends to come with some sweets so this is a great time to reinforce good dental care habits. A cute toothbrush makes brushing your teeth more fun so it is a great gift. These Beurer 8-piece, animal-themed electric toothbrush sets include everything needed to make brushing count – with teeth cleaned fully while having fun. These Beurer electric toothbrush sets for kids come in three adorable animals varieties: Panda, Tiger, and Monkey. Plus, they are a great deal at only $19.99.

2. A Journal or Stationery

Kids love to write and draw. Encourage their creativity and manners by getting them a fun but useful gift like a journal and/or stationery. I love seeing the funny things my daughter writes in her journal (when I happen to find it laying about and I just can’t resist- she is only 9 but it is full of insight!). My son doesn’t really keep a writing journal on a regular basis yet but his drawings of made up battles and football games are pretty cute.  Letter writing an art that is becoming neglected and some cute stationery can change that in a hurry.

3.  A Book

A fun Valentine’s Day themed book is a great gift.  It will become a tradition to read those books together over and over each Valentine’s Day. Of course, any children’s book can be a fabulous present too. It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day themed but that does make it a little extra fun!

4.  A Framed Photo

Another fun Valentine Day gift idea is a great family photo or a photo of you and your child framed in a cute LOVE frame that they can add to their room decor.  The framed photo will call to mind both the time you made the memory in the photo and the memory of receiving it as a gift. Photo gifts are worth a 1000 words!

5.  A Potted Plant

You can decorate a terracotta clay pot with hearts and give your child either a potted plant or some seeds to plant in the pot. They will have fun watching it grow and learning to care for it.

6.  A Stuffed Animal or Plush Character

I don’t know what it is about stuffed animals but my kids just can’t get enough of them! They love naming the stuffed animals and cuddling with them at bedtime. They love dressing them up and playing pretend games with them. A stuffed animal is a great small gift that lasts for a long time and gets a lot of love.

One option are Hallmark itty bittys. They are a unique line of small plush characters available in a wide variety of exclusive collections featuring some of the most iconic characters from film, comics and television. There are classic itty bittys like Lady and the Tramp just in time for Valentine’s Day.

7. Valentine’s Day Themed Stickers

Kids enjoy decorating and expressing themselves, so fun stickers or temporary tattoos with hearts, cupid, or other Valentine’s Day motifs can be a hit.

8. Homemade Crafts Or DIY Kits

Make a heart themed craft as a gift for your child. Examples include a handmade bookmark or a painted heart mug for them to drink hot chocolate in. Not crafty yourself? Look for simple craft kits or supplies that allow your kids to have fun creating their own Valentine’s Day decorations or gifts.

9. Homemade Heart-Shape Treats

Get creative and make homemade treats like heart-shaped shortbread cookies or mini heart cheesecakes to enjoy a sweet treat together.

10. Valentine’s Day Themed Coloring Books

Encourage creativity with a Valentine’s Day themed coloring book or activity book filled with puzzles, mazes, and games. If you child enjoys hidden pictures, they will love the Highlights Valentine edition (affiliate link).
