The Sweetest Valentine’s Gifts for Kids!

When I was growing up (and still today!) every holiday was a special day complete with gift giving, thanks to my mother’s fabulous creativity. And in fact, her gift giving was brilliant, especially when my sister and I were young. My mom would shop for things that we needed, but jazzed up a notch! Pajamas would appear in pink satin with a matching robe or bathing suits with matching sandals and cover up!

Retailers today make this idea even easier by offering lots of basic clothing items done up in seasonal patterns! Here are some of the best offerings I spotted on the internet, just in time for Valentine’s Day giving!

For Girls

Adorable Sleepwear

From Pajama Gram, Daddy’s Little Girl will love fun pajamas which proclaim who her heart belongs to! The full length cotton pants are sprinkled with colorful hearts and the coordinating long sleeve top reads “Daddy’s Little Valentine!” (PajamaGram, prices vary by size, but all include Pajama Gram’s fabulous hat box packaging!)

Sweetheart Sports Wear

From Gymboree, there’s an entire line of mix and match heart patterned clothing including jeans, dresses, t-shirts, socks, and more! This year, the collection is called the “Full of Heart Collection!” (Valentine’s Sportswear for Kids)

A Little Bit of Everything

Gap Kids has covered the gamut with their Valentine selection! Choose from dresses, jeans, totebag, swimsuit, flip flops and hoodies! (Valentine’s Clothing for Kids)

For Boys

Valentine gifts for guys, both big and small, are a little more challenging, but here are some ideas that will at least bring a little bit of “red” into their Valentine’s Day!

Boxers Just Like Dad’s

From Gap Kids, super cute red and white heart patterned boxers retail for $9.50! (Heart Boxers) Also, cute from Gap Kids is the red and navy rugby striped swim trunks with matching flip flops! (Rugby Stripe Trunks, $24.50, Rugby Stripe Flip Flops, $9.50)

Sports Wear

Trendy boys will love these cool shirts from Boden! There’s a red pullover t-shirt printed with skulls (Printed Skulls Hoody), a layered red t-shirt with shark logo (Stripy Shark Layered T-shirt) and a rock n’ roll red and white t-shirt with an appliqued skull and crossbones! (Red and White Skulls T-shirt)

Always Cool Converse Sneakers

Garnet Hill offers “Chucks” in a wide array of sizes and colors, including of course, red! But if you’re looking for a change of pace, check out the “graffiti” high tops! (Graffiti High Tops, $12 to $20, depending on size)

Preppy Splurges

At Ralph Lauren, you’ll find a fantastic assortment of sweaters, polos and shirts in classic red! A traditional rugby shirt, $34.99, a ribbed cotton sweater with a half zip, $39.99, or the “Big Pony” fleece hoodie, $75, all make terrific gifts!

Even if you don’t pick up one of my specific recommendations, any gift that you’d like to give your children can become a fabulous Valentine gift – just work with all things red, pink and white!

Wishing you and your family a very happy Valentine’s Day no matter how you celebrate it!
