These Valentine's Day gift ideas for kids are a perfect way to celebrate this fun winter holiday with the whole family!

Valentines Day Pajamas for Kids (or for their dolls to match!)

I LOVE finding matching pajamas for my kids and the holidays are such a perfect time to add to their collection.  There are some really cute Valentine’s Day options and depending on how much you want to spend (or where you like to order from!), you’ve got quite a few options.  Here are some of the best sets:

Valentine’s Day LEGO Sets

You can never have too many LEGO sets (if you ask your kids, at least), so opting for one of the Valentine’s Day sets is such a great idea!  

It will be a fun way for them to remember the holiday and you’re almost guaranteed that it will be a set they haven’t done before.  

There are quite a few cute options, but here are some of the best:

Valentines Day Personalized Cup

I always love to find cute gifts for kids that aren’t toys (but still excites them) and these personalized cups ALWAYS do the trick.

These are especially cute because they are love-themed, but will still work throughout the year without seeming like they came straight out of Valentine’s Day.

Fill the cup with treats and they’ll be even more excited!

Valentine’s Day Bucket

Just like with Easter, you can get cute (and personalized) Valentine’s Day buckets to put your surprises in!

I ALWAYS try to make the most of these opportunities and use buckets that can be reused either as storage or to play with. And since Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily a holiday you want to spend a ton of money on (at least for your kids), I always like to go in the direction of buckets that will be perfect to play with outside or at the beach. And these are perfect for that!

Matching Family Bracelets 

Matching family bracelets are one of my all-time favorite ideas and they make perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for kids because they’re sentimental and meaningful, but not over the top.

These bracelets come in a ton of styles and are simple, inexpensive and unisex – so they’re perfect for everyone to cherish!

DIY Heart Magnet Craft 

These paint-and-design magnets are one of my favorite ideas to use for all kinds of occasions (Easter baskets, stocking stuffers, birthdays, etc), but the fact that they have a heart set makes them a perfect Valentine’s day gift for kids!

The magnets are made of wood, so you’ll actually be able to use them afterwards, and they come with paint, gems and glitter to design however you like.

This is a fun activity and a great gift idea!

Valentine’s Day Kid Masks

Who would have ever thought we’d be gifting our kids holiday masks? But here we are, and these Valentine’s Day themed masks are the perfect gift idea for them.

Now that we need to wear masks every day (and might be for a while), it’s always nice to add new ones to the collection and these offer adorable designs without being too over the top. 

It’s another great idea that’s also practical!

Valentine’s Day Books for Kids

Books always make great gifts for kids and Valentine’s Day is no exception! In fact, these books are some of the best because they focus on love and few things are more important to kids than remembering how important it is to care about their friends and family.

Here are some of the best Valentine’s Day books to choose from:

Valentine’s Day Bath Bomb

If your kids still love bath time, then these secret Valentine’s Day bath bombs are such a fun idea! 

Each one has a secret Valentine’s Day-themed toy inside in addition to adding moisture and fragrance to the bath.

This is also a great brand for bath bombs, so you’ll enjoy the quality of ingredients.

Personalized Valentine’s Day Mailbox

These Valentine’s Day mailboxes are another really cute way to surprise your kids, especially if you want to fill it with goodies! 

One of the things that’s great with this idea is that it can be used during imagination-play afterwards, so it will get a ton of use far beyond the holiday.

I hope these gift ideas for Valentine’s Day make this holiday extra special for you and the kids! Enjoy.
