The Best Small Shops to shop for kids Valentine Gifts
As a huge supporter of small mama owned shops, I especially love shopping small for Valentine’s Day! They have some really unique items for a great valentine’s day gift.
My little one has been learning her letters and I have been wanting to get her a set of resin letters. This Valentine themed resin letter set is perfect! Even though these are great for toddlers, I find that kids of all ages will love them as they can be really creative with them.
How beautiful are these wands! My girls love playing with their wands and being fairies or magicians. I love that these are great for play but you can display them as well! They are such unique valentine’s day gifts.
OK maybe these are more for mama as I can completely relate that I love bows on my girls! Aren’t they the cutest things? These Valentine bows and hair clips are beyond adorable.
These are just so cute and are the best valentine’s day gifts for older kids who love Valentine’s day and getting dressed up! You can even clip some to valentine’s day cards to pass out to friends.
My oldest has a love of jewelry like her mama so I searched for some good quality pieces for kids and stumbled upon these gorgeous bracelet sets. There’s a ton of choices and you can even get them personalized!

Obviously these are interchangeable as my girls love legos and slime as much as they love jewelry and crafts!
Get gifts that will keep them busy! Puzzles and slime area great way to keep them entertained for hours! Tip: I buy these inexpensive vinyl table covers and lay them on the floor for when the kids play with slime. They have to stay on there to play so the slime doesn’t get all over the place but it gives them a bunch of room to play. Bonus: clean up is easy!
