Valentine’s Day is almost here, and rather than posting single links all over the place, I want to keep everything in one place for you. This list has ideas for kids of all ages, from sweet treats to simple gift ideas. Use this collection of ideas to navigate the best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids in 2025.
I created this list based on what I would gift my children and some top sellers from the holiday season. Enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: I carefully curated this list of items we use and love. Each category has a quick write-up about what makes the items listed a winner and how they have made my life easier.

Sweet Treats
Sweet treats, candy hearts, and heart-shaped Reese’s scream Valentines. And since we have a peanut allergy here, one of the three will not make this list. (LOL.) Instead, I added a delicious allergy-friendly candy brand called Yum Earth and some other traditional favorites like candy love hearts.
Gummy Hearts
Duo Pops
Pops and Gummies
Hugs and Kisses

Class gift ideas for Valentine’s Day
This is not the list where you find small containers of slime. Instead, I am looking for nonfood class gift ideas for extended use at home. If you have a class of 20 kids, each suggestion is less than $2 a child. (Some a tad more and less.)
The rainbow pencils are a HUGE hit with kids. I put them at my booth when I attended the homeschool conference, and they flew off the shelf when the kids came by. I read reviews on the ones in bulk for the click counters, but they do not last. The brand suggested below has a better life span, so purchase multiple packs.
Don’t overthink the cuteness of a Valentine. Something as simple as: Our friendship clicks! or a simple printout that says Happy Valentine’s Day with an explanation of why your child enjoys the gift is plenty. Valentine’s Day celebrations in the classroom are hectic.

Class Valentine’s for Kids
Some years, my kids want handmade Valentine’s Day cards for their class, and other years, they prefer to have them store-bought. Both are great! Also, don’t breeze past this $5 mailbox from Target. Grab it before it sells out.
