Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day and that means I can finally give the kids their little goody bags! I always find it fun picking out little things for them. I’ve gotten good at this! Here’s what I came up with this year:
1) Lego Friends – Both Ellie and Lauren are into Legos so I decided to include a small set for each of them. You can find this at Target.
2) Unicorn Stuffed Animal – I was SO not going to get them any stuffed animals but of course I failed at this goal.
3) Mailbox – Since the girls love drawing pictures and writing sweet notes, I thought they could place their notes into these miniature mailboxes.
4) Snacks – Goldfish and M&M’s. Aren’t most kids fans? 😉
And while we’re on the topic of little Valentine’s Day gifts for kids, here’s a peek at what I put together for Ellie and Lauren’s classmates. For Ellie, there’s a sticker sheet, small toy, and an eraser. For Lauren, I put together felt stickers and a lollipop.
We all know that Valentine’s Day isn’t about the gifts, flowers, or chocolate. It is about expression. If there’s one thing I try my best at, it is expressing my love to my kids each and every day. That said, I feel no guilt in buying into the whole thing about giving them little presents for a Hallmark holiday like Valentine’s Day.
What do you think about getting little gifts for kids on Valentine’s Day? Whatever your plans are for Valentine’s Day, I hope you know that you are LOVED! Happy Valentine’s Day weekend, lovely readers! Xoxo, Tee

I completely agree with you. My Mom always did this for us and I follow that tradition. Even though we were on vacation this year, I packed little v-day gifts this year.
That’s awesome that you packed the little gifts for your trip. I would’ve done the same thing too :). Thanks for commenting, Dianne.
These are cute, sweet fits. I am sure your girls loved them. I got my kid’s similar things too. I also made a promise no more stuffed animals. Then I found three corresponding animals. The same brand and pattern, just different animals. I just HAD to. I am sure I will regret it, but they were so excite and have been obsessed with them. I am convinced stuffed animals multiply on their own. Sure of it 🙂
Thanks, Emily. Yes, it is sooo hard to resist getting stuffed animals. The kids just love them! 🙂
Adorable!! Love your ideas
Thanks, Kelli! 🙂
Cute! My daughter is only 2, but her daycare throws a party and I feel like people go way overboard on the sugar for kids that age. I’d much rather she get goldfish or some other “festive” snack or trinket.
I want a little goodie bag! We are sent out for dinner with my mom in law for v day.
Hope you had a nice date night! Very nice of your MIL 🙂
I hope you are LOVED this valentines day too! That unicorn TY baby is SO cute 🙂
Aww, thanks Tara!
I love how thoughtful these gifts are!
Thanks for commenting, Lauryn.
I love the non-candy gift ideas!
Thanks, Amanda 🙂
Love these ideas and especially love that it is not all about lots and lots of sweets! These gifts are a great balance! Thanks for the ideas!
Thanks so much, Michelle! Enjoy your Valentine’s Day weekend!
