Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away and I couldn’t be happier!  I love Valentine’s Day!  I love pink, hearts, cupid but even more so this year, we’ve been talking a lot about kindness and spreading love to others.  

Love Baskets

My love language is definitely gift giving and I can’t resist putting together little baskets for the kids.

When putting together the baskets, I try and think of what can be useful in the next couple months.  We are going on a 10 hour road trip soon and I wanted to get them items that they can use on the trip as well as some seasonal Valentine’s items.  My go to spots are the Target Dollar Spot and The Dollar Tree have some great items! 

Here are some ideas for boys and girls!  

Nathan is eight and is a sports fanatic!  His basket is going to focus on that theme!

These are my son’s favorite!  They are like LOL dolls but NFL football players.  He collects them and plays with them all the time.  They sell them at Target in single packs or Amazon you can get a bunch!  We use them for rewards as well!

Pajamas and Books 

I also love a good theme!  Every year, I get the kids new Valentine’s pajamas and a new Valentine’s book that I write a little message in.  My good friend, Emmy Marshall of Peanut Butter and Jealous, made the kids their jammies this year!  We are big University of Arizona Wildcat fans and I love how these turned out and the kids can wear them year long.  

I’ve rounded out some of our favorite Valentine’s Day books
