Valentine’s Day is a fun occasion to show the people in your life that you love them. We have three young daughters and we like to use gift giving occasions to get them items they “need”, but in a way that makes them feel like a special treat! We’re sharing links to some daily essentials and clothing items that could make perfect gifts for the kids in your life, inspired by our daughters!

Something You “Need” – Daily Essentials

Reading Nightlight

Reading Nightlight – Our three daughters share a triple bunk bed. We usually put them all to bed at the same time and they enjoy reading in their own beds. These little clip-on book lights let each of them have their own reading space. We can turn off the overhead light so they can fall asleep when they’re ready. They are rechargeable using a USB connector cable, so we also don’t have to worry about batteries.

Natural Makeup Set for Kids

Natural Makeup Sets for Kids – Our older two girls have been asking for their own “real” makeup kits. While makeup probably isn’t a “need”, they do need to be safe while wearing makeup. We really like this kids makeup line that is made from quality minerals and natural preservatives, and is free from artificial dyes and heavy mineral oils. This sets include items like eyeshadow compacts, blush, lip shimmer, roll-on natural fragrance, and water-based peel-off nail polish. Our girls love being “fancy” when playing dress up, and we love that this set is gentle and non-toxic! (also available on Amazon)

Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Stainless Steel Water Bottle – Our daughters take a stainless steel water bottle to school every day. They love this style with the straw lid that flips down to close securely. It is leak-proof in their backpacks, but easy for them to open. The water bottle has a double wall insulation, and they love that it keeps their water cold all day! The water bottles come in lots of fun designs, and this Rainbow Hearts one is cute for Valentine’s Day. Our girls also like the Stardust Unicorns, Gelato, and Llama Rainbows designs.

Mini Audio Player

Mini Audio Player – Our girls all enjoy listening to audio books and music on their mini audio player. We like to use holidays to add more audio cards to their collection. Our recent favorites are My First Classic Stories Collection, The Extraordinary Lives Audio Collection, Baking with Yoto, and KIDZ BOP. We love that this device has no cameras, microphones, or ads. We have the mini audio player protected with a pink silicone carrying case, store the audio cards in a card case, and take it with us on trips in the travel case. (It is also available on Amazon, with a starter pack of cards.)

Hair + Body Wash and Everyday Lotion

Tubby Todd – Gift Set – The holidays are the perfect time to stock up on items that the girls use all of the time, but make them a little more fun or special. This gift set includes Hair + Body Wash and Everyday Lotion in a Raspberry Black Currant scent. They’re daily essentials, but feel like a special treat!

Something You “Wear” – Clothing for Kids

Biker Set and Knit Hoodie

Biker Set and Sweater – This little short sleeves and shorts set (Sienna color) is perfect for spring adventures. The top features a large pocket in the front for all the treasures kids find along the way! The knit hoodie (Hot Cocoa color) is perfect for layering. The sweater is soft, cozy and comfortable, made from a 100% organic cotton knit. We love using gifts as a time to add a few quality layering pieces! Use code TIDYDAD for 10% off an order!

Comfortable Sneakers

Ten Little shoes – These are the BEST shoes for little ones. They are designed to support natural growth in little feet. Margaret’s very first shoes were the Everyday Original sneakers in candy pink, and when she outgrew them we got a larger size of the Everyday Original sneakers in blush pink! This winter we got her the Furry High Top sneakers in power purple for playing outside in cold weather. Each style comes in lots of solid colors and is perfect for walking, running, or climbing at the playground.

Quality Sunglasses

Quality Sunglasses – These heart sunglasses are ultra-lightweight, flexible, and virtually indestructible. They have polarized shatter-resistant lenses, glare reduction technology, and provide 100% UVA/B/C protection. We love that the arms are bendable, rather than breakable. They even come with a carrying pouch that doubles as polishing cloth. These cute heart sunglasses are perfect for kids all year round!

Pajama Set

Pajama Set – These cute pajama sets come in a 2-pack. They have a snug fit, and are comfy and soft. We got our oldest daughter the dotty stars and pink stripes set, our middle daughter the unicorns and purple stripes set, and our youngest daughter the painted hearts and solid pink set. They are so many different styles, and they come in baby, toddler, and big kid sizes!

Heart Nightgown, Tees, Sweatshirts and more!

The Heart Shop – Our daughters love wearing hearts and rainbows, and this rainbow heart nightgown has both! We also got the girls matching heart tees and heart sweatshirts, and they will pair them with heart leggings. Check out Primary’s The Heart Shop for heart designs for the entire family! If you’ve never ordered from Primary before, you can use code TIDYDAD20 for 20% off your first order + FREE shipping.

I hope this list inspires you to think about daily essentials and clothing items you could gift to a kid in your life, in a way that makes them feel like a special treat!
