Valentine’s Day Gifts for Toddlers + Kids
Valentine's Day is a fun holiday to celebrate with kids and make them feel extra special and loved. It's smack dab in the middle of dreary winter and I think a great excuse to create some little traditions as a family. For us, that involves making heart shaped waffles for breakfast, leaving out little gift baskets for the kids and finishing the day with heart shaped pizza! Here are some fun gift ideas to spoil your little loves.
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Babies
Valentine's Day calls for showering your littlest love with even more love! Make their first holiday special, I like to always buy a few gifts that are practical things I will likely already need for them like teethers, essentials for meal time or sensory toys.
Valentine’s Day Favors
When it comes to bringing Valentines to school or daycare, I prefer something functional and cute over candy! Here is a collection of favors my kids and I have done throughout the years that have been a hit.
Valentine’s Day Books
I adore a good holiday book and there is no shortage of them for Valentine's Day. All of these books celebrate the importance of love among family and friends. There are good options for anyone from a baby celebrating their first Valentine's day to older kids.

Packing away your holiday decor and seasonal goods mark the inevitable ending of the holiday season. Make your life easier by storing your decorations, lights, tree’s, wrapping paper and more the proper way! No more old shoe boxes or janky shipping boxes! Investing in these key pieces will make packing up and taking down a breeze.

All of these options are cost friendly and get the job done right.

We polled our community on the type of toy storage solutions you were looking for and have so many great recommendations. We ordered all of these items and personally tried them out for you to ensure they were good solutions.
Favorite Things Gift Guide
Every holiday season I have two favorite things parties I attend with girlfriends and I look forward to them all year! At each party we bring a gift, around $50 value, and do a gift exchange where we pick numbers to choose gifts and when it is our turn to open we can pick an unopened gift or steal one that has already been opened. It is a blast and a fun way to discover new products that also make great gift ideas. I have rounded up all the ideas that were gifted from the two parties I attended. Keep in mind, some of these items were gifted together to get to the $50 value and some were purchased during sales like Black Friday, so off sale may be priced a little higher than $50.

Gifts for Grandparents
Grandparents almost always just want the gift of spending more time with their loved ones. I suggest taking them out to lunch or dinner, finding a local play or concert to treat them to or just visiting them for a cup of coffee. If you do want to gift them something, make it memorable, something simple they will cherish that reminds them of you! Here are a few special gifts that are sure to bring a smile to their face and capture the memories and value of family.

Gifts for Him
Here is a round up of some of the tried and true quality products for men that have become my go to gifts over the years for anyone from my husband or brother or older men like my Dad and Father in law.
