I know many people only celebrate Valentine’s Day with their spouse/partner, but it’s one of my favorite occasions for gifting to really anyone in my life! My parents always gave me a little gift on Valentine’s Day and I’m carrying that tradition on with my own children through ‘Love Baskets’. I also used to do regular Galentine’s Day dinners and gift exchanges with various friends and hope to bring that back next year.
In this post, I have rounded up some ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for everyone – and some adorable outfits for kids, as well! So whether you’re gifting to your soulmate or your little best mate, you can find something in here.
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Toddlers
I love using seasonal baskets as a way to teach my toddler about a holiday, introduce family traditions, and highlight some toys/books that we already own that haven’t gotten much attention recently. The baskets usually include something to wear, a new book, a couple of toys, and a little treat.
- I Spy Valentine’s Book: You can find more Valentine’s Books on my February Bookshelf.
- Mori Heart Pajamas
- Pocket Hug: I stumbled upon this concept on Etsy and think it’s so adorable – especially for an older toddler who may be going through a big change and will understand the concept.
- Cuddle + Kind Soft Toy: I love their baby animal collection. We have a couple of these and they make an appearance in most of our seasonal baskets.
- Heart Popper: New fidget toys are one of my go to items for seasonal baskets. There are all sorts of different options, they’re cheap, and we can never have too many!
- Heart Building Blocks: This set is so cute! My little one is going through a building/balancing stage, so I think I’ll be ordering one of these for his Valentine’s Day gift.
- Mushie Reusable Puffy Sticker Set
- Heart Shaped Crayons
- Heart Latte Soft Toy
Valentine’s Day Outfits for Toddlers
Believe it or not, dressing boys actually can be fun. But I still love opportunities like this to scout some of the best girly outfits, too! H&M and Boden are two of my favorite places to find seasonally-themed outfits for kids. And buying secondhand on Vinted or Poshmark is another great way to find novelty items without spending too much.
- Knit Heart Outfit
- Red + Pink Heart Set
- Lover Boy Sweatshirt
- Pastel Heart Set
- Custom Valentine’s Day Shirt (they have sweatshirts, too!)
- Striped Dungarees
- Red Rugby Shirt
- Heart Romper
- Dog Graphic Tee
- Snoopy Sweatshirt
- Love + Hugs + Croissants Sweatshirt
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Mum
Luxury loungewear is always at the top of my personal wishlist, but it’s lovely to receive a surprise piece of jewelry or a new mug to sip my morning coffee out of. Here are some Valentine’s Day gifts that I’d love to receive as a mom:
- Pink Quarter Zip
- Heart Hoop Earrings
- Eberjey Heart Pajamas (Check out my full loungewear post for more)
- Heart Photo Frame
- Ember Mug: This goes on pretty much every gift list I make because it has been a game changer for busy mom life! The Yeti Rambler is a great (cheaper) alternative, as well.
- Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Set
- Le Creuset Heart Mug
- Beautiful Chaos Poetry Book
Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Though it doesn’t get an official spot in the calendar, Galentine’s Day might just be my favorite holiday. There’s nothing better than an excuse to get together with your girlfriends for a dinner party and some wine. Even better if it’s a pajama party! These gifts would be perfect for a Galentine’s gift exchange or as a thank you for the hostess.
- Elizabeth Scarlett Ruffle Pouch
- LEGO Love Set: Really just including this because I personally want it!
- Anthropologie Love Notes Glasses
- Pilates Socks
- Avalon Home Napkins: They have so many cute (and some custom) on their website – the perfect gift for anyone who loves to host!
- Conversations on Love: A fantastic book celebrating all forms of love; a great one for discussion, too!
- Amie Wine: They have non-alcoholic options available, too! I love this rosé so much and keep going back for more.
- Heart Vase
- Sleep Boxers Set
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
My ‘Gifts for Mom’ and ‘Gifts for Him/Dad’ lists are very similar because we both function on large volumes of coffee and are constantly trying to feel more put together in life (I wish I was kidding!). Also, if you’re not buying your husband new socks and underwear every holiday, he’s probably walking around with holes in both. Maybe that’s just in my household though…
- Ridge Wallet
- Inner Excellence: If your partner is a Philadelphia Eagles fan or follows NFL pop culture, this is a good book to gift!
- Globe Decanter & Glass Set
- Oddballs Boxers
- Stackers Watch Box: I love Stackers for storing my jewelry and think this watch box looks so sleek and would be a nice gift for any watch lover.
- Yeti Rambler
- Heart Socks
- ’47 Brand Hat: The new color drop is this deep red which is perfect for Valentine’s Day. They have loads of teams available (these are the go-to hats in our household!)
