Valentine’s Day Gifts for Your Kids

Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday to teach your kids about kindness and love. It is also a day to share the joy with others and make everyone feel special. Plus, it is an excuse to shower your kids with extra love too!

Sugar-Free Candy

If you want to give your kids a sweet treat, try out some sugar-free candy. This will help your kids not have a sugar crash later on in the day or get cranky.

Essential Oil Stuffed Animal

If your child loves stuffed animals, try out an essential oil stuffed animal. Aromatherapy stuffed animals are basically the same as normal stuffed animals but these super cute heatable characters are gently scented with French Lavender to help your child feel cozy and secure.

Hot/Cold Stuffed Animal

Another great stuffed animal is the rice-filled ones, where you can heat them up or cool them down in the freezer. When your child gets hurt, you can help them feel better with their stuffed animal instead of a regular rice pack! These are great for earaches, growing pains, and bruises.

A Craft Kit

There are plenty of craft kits all over the place, especially Valentine’s Day-themed ones. Kids love being creative and making something all on their own. You can buy any kind of craft supplies, and they would be happy!

Positive Affirmation Cards

A lot of kids struggle with their self-esteem. Positive affirmation cards help kids practice self-love and give them the confidence and happiness they need. Saying affirmations daily will also help them know their worth, excel in school, and be able to adapt and work through challenging times. Grab them a fun card deck they can say before school each morning!

A Date Alone with You

Give the gift of an experience and take each of your children out on a date alone with you. You can go get their favorite dessert and talk, or go on a different adventure with each one. These Valentine’s Day gifts are often the best to give kids and the most memorable.

You do not have to do this activity on Valentine’s Day may be just make a date on the calendar to make it visible.

New Books

Books are educational and super beneficial for kids, but they are a lot of fun too. Try to get books you know your kids will love to read and are appropriate for their age groups. You can also find some pretty awesome activity books for all ages that would be great for those who struggle to read.

Matching Jewelry

If you have a child who loves jewelry, try finding a matching set to share with them. There are plenty of mother/daughter bracelets and necklaces that would make for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. It would also be fun to make your own set together!

What I Love About You Book

This is another gift that kids most often give us, but kids always need to hear how much we love them. Creating a “What I Love About You” book will help your child see themselves through your eyes. They will find this book precious and turn to it often when they struggle.

Open When Letters

“Open When…” letters are another fun gift you can give your kids. These letters are personable to each child and will help them throughout their life. Some examples of “Open When…” letters include:

  • Open when… you had a bad day
  • Open when… you are feeling sad
  • Open when… you reached your goal
  • Open when… you are missing me
  • Open when… you are X years old
  • Open when… you go on your first date
  • Open when… you had your first kiss
  • Open when… you need a pick me up
  • Open when… you need advice
  • Open when… you are embarrassed
  • Open when… you need a hug

Make sure to write both happy and sad letters. This will show your child that you are there for them during the good times and the bad times.
