Did a kid create the modern-day calendar? Only someone plotting for more presents would place Valentine’s Day so close to Christmas and Hanukkah. But truth be told, we’re more than happy to go along with this somewhat evil scheme, showing our little ones extra love with a tiny treat or two.
If you’re in the process of creating a gift basket for your baby or are in need of a trinket for your tween, we’ve got a few ideas that won’t break the bank. Ahead, we rounded up the best Valentine’s Day gifts for kids. And no, they aren’t all sweets or something you’ll struggle to find a spot for. (Will that extra-large holiday gift from grandma ever be put away?!)
What’s better is that prices start at just $5. Limited spending, smiling faces and not having to string together a story about how Cupid brought it? We’re loving this holiday!
