Valentine’s Day is a day that celebrates all types of love, including love for your family. You might wonder, “how can I make Valentine’s Day special for my kids?” As a family, we like to make a fun breakfast or dessert together – it doesn’t take much to make this day special! As parents, we also like to give our daughters a small Valentine’s Day gift to open, and tell them again that they are loved. Here are some Valentine’s Day gifts for kids that are practical, crafty, for their bedroom, or just for fun.
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids
Practical Gifts for Kids
Valentine’s Day can be a great opportunity to gift our kids something practical that they need or will use for the winter season, or something they’ll use all year round. Some ideas include a new book, winter gear, a reading nightlight, or restocking their toiletry supplies in a fun winter scent.
Valentine’s Day book
We always love an opportunity to add to our home library, and this is a cute book that teaches kids about the history and tradition of celebrating Valentine’s Day. It also has activities that kids can do, or that you can do together as a family to celebrate this special day.
Fleece Balaclava
This warm balaclava keeps the head, nose, mouth, ears, and neck covered. It is made of soft fleece and will keep your kids warm even in the winter wind. It’s great for walking outside, playing in snow, sledding, snowboarding, or skiing. It comes in solid black, green, or pink.
Reading Nightlight
Each of our girls has one of these little clip-on reading nightlights, and we let them read in bed until they fall asleep. The reading nightlights are rechargeable using a USB connector cable, so we also don’t have to worry about batteries. They are also great for travel activities in the car!
Tubby Todd Gift Set
We love Tubby Todd products because they are formulated with gentle ingredients to help kids get ready for their day. Their Valentine’s Day gift set includes a two-in-one hair & body wash as well as their everyday lotion. It’s a fun way to give a daily essential that our girls need, but make it a little more special. Shop our Tubby Todd link to automatically get an extra 10% off!
Crafty Gifts for Kids
We love to use gift giving occasions like Valentine’s Day to restock crafty items that our girls will use, like journals, colored pencils, craft tape, or a pencil case to keep it all tidy and organized.
Lined Notebook Journal
This is a quality journal that kids can use in lots of different ways. It could be a diary, a gratitude journal, a place to write travel memories, a spot to jot down little stories or poems, or more! It has a water-resistant vegan leather cover, thick paper with lines, and comes in lots of fun colors.
Colored Pencils
A fresh set of colored pencils can make a great Valentine’s Day gift. Our daughters love drawing, coloring, and writing, and we love that they are practicing their fine motor skills in a fun and creative way. This set includes 50 different colors, and is great for using in their journals too!
Craft Tape
We keep a container of craft supplies available for our girls to let their creativity flow. This multi-colored craft tape allows for a surprising amount of open-ended arts & crafts projects! Adding to your craft supplies is a great gift that creates the opportunity for limitless creativity.
Pencil Case
This unicorn pencil case is perfect for keeping colored pencils and other small items tidy and organized. It’s perfect for throwing in a travel bag when you’re on the go, or keeping in the car. It also comes in solid grey or in an outer space design. Another option is a translucent version, which is available in purple, pink, green, or grey.
Bedroom Gifts for Kids
If your kids need any new items to organize or decorate their bedroom, Valentine’s Day can be a fun time to get one of those new items. If you need some ideas, our girls love their audio players, jewelry box, bunk bed storage, and glitter lamp. They keep all of those items in the bedroom all 3 girls share.
Yoto Audio Player
Our girls all love listening to audio books and music on their Yoto Audio Players, especially at rest time or bedtime. We love that the device has no cameras, microphones, or ads. We like to use the holidays to add more audio cards to their collection. (also available at Target)
Jewelry Box
A jewelry box makes a lovely Valentine’s Day gift that also helps keep little treasures and collections contained. Each of our girls has one shelf in their wardrobe where they keep special items. A jewelry box helps keep their little necklaces, bracelets, and rings accessible, easy to find, and (hopefully) tangle-free! This jewelry box is available in unicorn or ballerina.
Bunk Bed Storage Caddy
Our three daughters share a triple bunk bed. These bunk bed storage organizers help to keep a few items close, even though they can’t reach a nightstand. They use them to keep a book, nightlight, water bottle, etc within reach! They come in several different colors, so you can choose one that matches their bedroom decor.
Glitter Lamp
This glitter lamp makes a great sensory night light for a kid’s room. Our girls love watching the glitter move around inside the lamp, as it creates a calm, relaxing, visual effect. This is a gift that is practical as a bedroom lamp, and also fun!
“Just for Fun” Gifts for Kids
Valentine’s Day is also a “just for fun” occasion to gift your kids a little activity they would enjoy, like a new travel toy, family game, craft kit, or book.
Fidget Toys
Our daughters love playing with fidget toys and they make a fun little Valentine’s Day gift. This pop-it toy comes in multiple colors, and here’s another option with the alphabet on the poppers! Other ideas are a sensory squishy ball, marble maze mat, a rainbow ball, rainbow beads, animal fidgets, twisty chains, magnetic people, extending robots, extending giraffes, and pencil cases to keep it all organized. These are great to keep in a bag for restaurants or car/plane rides.
“Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza” Game
Our girls recently got this game, and they are loving it! You take turns flipping your cards which have an image of a taco, cat, goat, cheese, or pizza, but each person has to SAY whichever of those 5 words is NEXT in the sequence, even if it doesn’t match their image. If it DOES match, you all slap the pile! Easy, also hilarious!
Sewing Kit
Craft kits make an amazing gift for Valentine’s Day. This cute sewing kit is filled with colorful fabric, multicolored threads, safety scissors, and decorations. Kids can follow the step-by-step directions to learn how to sew their own creations. These beginner sewing kits are available in unicorn, owl, or dessert themed sets. Need more craft kits? Check out these ideas!
Conversation Cards
These conversation cards are a great family gift for kids. They give a structure for asking interesting questions, and help to create a space for families to talk, listen, and connect. The prompts could be used at the dinner table, bedtime, long car rides, and more! These poetry tiles and these emotions and feelings magnets are also a fun and creative way to connect.
Fidgimals Board Books
Our littlest Valentine loves reading board books. These Fidgimals board books are extra fun because they include a sensory pop it toy! These books come in a variety of animal themes, so you can find a book your child will love to read over and over again. You can also grab a book bundle of board books about love, and read them with your little one all year round. Here’s more board book ideas for the youngest readers!

About me
Hi, my name is Tyler Moore. My wife and I live with our three young daughters in a 700- square-foot apartment in New York City. I began my tidying journey when an early-30’s crisis invited me to reflect upon, challenge, and change my patterns of daily living. I quit my job as a school administrator, returned to teaching, and started Tidy Dad to help others tidy, simplify, and find joy in their lives. I firmly believe the tidying process can transform your life. I’d love for you to join me in exploring ways that tidying can make room for what’s important in life.
welcome to the tribe!
i'll be sending you an e-mail soon!
so be on the lookout in your inbox!
