Ever since I was little, Valentine’s Day has always been my favorite holiday. Life was simple back in elementary school! You didn’t have to worry about real-world rejection or staying in because you were single. Every student in my class exchanged Valentines with one another — sharing was caring! And my mom has kept the tradition alive by sending me care packages each year filled with heart-shaped surprises. Even if adulthood has ruined the holiday for you, let’s keep the magic alive for the kids!
I consider myself a big kid at heart, so I had a blast tracking down the cutest Valentine’s Day gifts for children. I know that some boys and girls like to steer clear of the lovey-dovey vibes, so I also included options that don’t feel too heavy on the hearts (i.e. Legos, soccer balls and Spider-Man tees). Celebrate this happy holiday with your favorite youngsters by shopping these 11 kid-friendly gifts below!

Junie B. Jones Boxed Set of Books
