I’m not going to lie, Valentine’s Day has somewhat left the building for the hubs and me. We just don’t go overboard for love day because we celebrate that year round. (I know. Cue the gags.) However, that does not mean we don’t celebrate in this house. Charlotte’s birthday is two days after V-Day, so we pre-party with all things red, pink, and hearts in honor of loving life. Littles have a way of making all holidays festive and fun, and Valentine’s Day is no different. We’re not yet to the stage of making homemade Valentine’s Day cards for classmates, but we are at the stage of loving books and all things girly. Here’s my round-up of fun little gifts for your sweet and sassy little mini.
Are you a lover of Valentine’s Day? What are some of your top picks for gifts for your little? I’m sure chocolate will also be another way to my sweet little babe’s heart. And mama’s, too. Speaking of…do any of you have any fabulous Valentine’s Day sweets recipes? Do share in the comments por favor.
Have a beautiful day, my lovely friends!
Don’t miss a thing. Follow along on…

I love Vakentine’s for all the red, pink, and heart shapes for the little. You’re right though, the “day” of love is kind of a thing of the past with my husband and I. We try to celebrate each other all year. It’s still certainly fun to put together something festive for the mini. :)
Kristy says
Me too! I love any excuse to celebrate a special occasion. And red and pink just happen to be some of my favorite colors. ;) Hope you’re having a great week, girl!
Ashley says
We LOVE Valentines Day over here!!! Great picks, love those heart leggings! :)
Kristy says
Thanks, Ashley! They are super soft and great quality, too! :) Hope you have a great weekend!
Maren Hall Arnold says
Have you read any of the other Llama Llama books? My kindergartners think they are hilarious! I love any holiday as an excuse to give a book! Those pants with the heart knee patches are too sweet.
Kristy says
Yes! We started out the with the Christmas version. She loved it! I am a sucker for books. Being a former English teacher, my thinking about books is: the more the better. :) Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!

My hubs and I don’t do much for each other for v-day either (maybe a dinner sans kids, but that’s no so much for v-day as more of an excuse to have a date night in general!), but we love to celebrate with our minis – and it’s extra fun now that we each have our own mini valentine :) I love all your ideas – especially the babiators!
Thanks so much for linking up!
Kristy says
Yes, any excuse for a date night is a good enough for me. :) Babies make every holiday more fun! I never realized I would love each one like I do now. I mean, July 4th is exciting, but with a baby? Even better! Lol. Those Babiators are precious. I’m thinking Charlotte will need some in her life soon. But at her age, I’m sure she’ll throw them off as fast as I put them on her. Have a great week, Lyndsey!

I would LOVE a birthday close to V-Day! Happy Early Birthday, Charlotte! And the Lovers Gonna Love Tee! So cute!! Thanks for linking up with us!
Kristy says
It really is a good gig. Charlotte was actually supposed to be here before Valentine’s day, but I’m glad she arrived when she did. She has a lot to celebrate in February for the rest of her life. ;) Have a great weekend, Brettni!

We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day as a couple but we do special stuff with the kids. Usually we get them a small toy or a book and we have chocolate fondue. That’s enough to make it epic for them!
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely evening.
xoxo
Kristy says
Absolutely! I hope to keep it simple yet special for this little lady. My mom always did that for us, and I always appreciated any little thing. :) Have a great week, Jennifer!
