Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for the Kiddos {and beyond…}

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us for sure!!  January is at an end already…holy smokes!!  My favorite part of Valentine’s Day for the kids is the cheesiest part, the cheapo character cards you can buy anywhere!  I love letting my little ones pick out their favorites and it’s the one time a year they don’t scream when you ask them to write their name 24 times!  I wish I could say I spend hours with the kids crafting our own cards and gifts for their friends on the 14th, but, if you’ve learned anything about me over the past years, it’s that I’m a buyer, not a creator.  Toy Story and GI Joe, $2.99 for a pack of cards at Target is what I’m all about!  Aside from the cards they share to their “loved” ones, we do also enjoy a gift or two to show them our love just a bit more…along with a good dinner and good family time!  Below are some festive Valentine’s Day items you may enjoy to share the love this year with your kiddos!

For them to wear to show their spirit, “Sweetheart” and “HeartBreaker” tees from Tote and Tee!  At only $15, they are sure to get compliments all around and these last well into Spring, not just a Valentine’s Day tee!

And how about a tutus for the special day!  There’s nothing better, nothing more girlie than a tutu on a special occasion and the Valentine Camo Pa Tutu from Cutie Pa Tutus would be brilliant for your little lady to show off in pre-k or at your special Valentine’s Day dinner!  Plus, of course, playing dress-up with her favorite tutu lasts all year round!  {Cutie Pa Tutus has adorable Super Hero Capes too…Valentine’s Day or not…these are awesome!}

For the babes, seriously, is there anything cuter???  I would put little A in this year round!!  From sizes newborn on up to 6…hmmm…fabulous photo shoot with all the kids in the same tee…now that’s a thought!  Check out tiny sprouts to get this tee in short or long sleeve!

Dylan’s Candy Bar goes from sweets for the little ones {or big ones} to classic, dirty {quite humorous} romance items for your man!  Could be your one stop shop to fill the sweet tooth and bring a smile to your husband’s face!

Guess How Much I Love You…a classic gift, perfect for the newest Valentine in your life!  This gift set from Kids Preferred is so affordable and so adorable!

Chasing Fireflies always has the best gifts for each occasion throughout the year!  From clothing to keepsakes, from the I Love You Treasure box {personalize it if you choose…and I would totally use this as a tooth fairy box after the fact…} to personalized sacs of candy hearts {candy hearts are a must have this time of year!}, Chasing Fireflies is sure to please!

SHOE HEAVEN!!!!

For the little ones, keep their toes cozy and cute with Kaboogie velvety heart shoes!  Soft soles, high quality, and pure preciousness!

OR…

The Ashley from pediped where 50% of the purchase price will go to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation until Feb. 5th!

OR…

These sweeties from Robeez…they are on sale and sizes are available for the older kiddos!!!

TOYS!!!

How about this Haba Baby Lara Clutching toy or….it’s mini version below:

OR…the Haba Memo Hearts Mini game for family game night…all available at Maukilo!

For your older Valentines…

From Rag & Bone, a beautiful keepsake for that special person in your life this Valentine’s Day, the Twelve Ways To Say I Love You book! Say I Love You in more ways than one!  Being sentimental is so romantic and it strengthens any relationship!

Have a new Daddy to surprise on Valentine’s Day, nothing says the love of a Father better than Diaper Duty!!  This Tool Bag Diaper Bag from Babymel would be perfect for any special Papa {red will ship the middle of Feb., so you may have to do an “after Valentine’s Day gift” but check out the camo too which is in stock!} Free shipping with the code BLDFREESHIP until Feb.15th on all Tool Bags so take advantage!
