Love baskets (aka Valentine's gifts for kids) are kind of unnecessary, but they are also so much fun! This year we did a mix of supporting small shops, thrifting + vintage shopping, shopping in our own house, and grabbing stuff from Amazon. Come see some inspiration for love baskets for ages 2, 4, 6, and 8 year olds - both boys and girls!
William (2 year old Boy)
In William's basket:
(1) Dump Truck - Amazon Use it as the 'basket'. It's super durable and really dumps!
(2) What's Sweeter Book - Amazon Love the sentiment and definitely can flex for all ages.
(3) Tiny T Rex Board Book - Amazon We love this little series, so we were excited to find they had a Valentine version!
(4) Pull Along Pup - Antique shop in Bisbee, AZ, but you can get one here
(5) Bath Bomb Dino Eggs - Amazon There is a toy dino in each one and a card that comes with it to tell you about the dino. ALL the kdis love these and they are 9 for $15!
(6) Lollipops - Free at a shop, but you can find here.
(7) Elmo - We re-gifted from our playroom, but you can get it here.
(8) Brio Train - Re-gifted from our playroom, but you can find one here.
(9) Mickey Water Bottle - Amazon We love this brand and it's perfect for school.
(10) Little People Toy - Amazon William is all about Little People, and it's not hard to find one in a bright Valentine's color!
(11) Jumbo Legos - We re-gifted from our playroom, but you can get it here
(12) Fidget Slug - Ours was an impulse buy at a checkout, but you an also get one here.
Emily (4 year old girl)
In Emily's basket:
(1) Barbie Lunch Pail - Use this as the 'basket'! Antique shop (clearly) in Bisbee, AZ. But here is a cute alternative.
(2) Vintage Barbie - See above, but there are a lot options (vintage or otherwise) elsewhere!
(3) Frozen Roller Skates - OK I'm an ass for posting this when I can't find anything close to this anywhere... but they are so cute. Anyway, take it as your sign to go thrifting.
(4) Heart Sunglasses - Daydream Republic This small business is on point with all things trendy kid and dollhouse. I apologize in advance for opening this door for you...
(5) Glitter Heart Ring - Made by Mandy I carried all her stuff in my old shop and it's the best. If you're a Phoenix local, you can get her stuff for a limited time at the CUTEST toy shop - Wildlings!
(6) Faux Fur Pink Clips Daydream Republic
(7) Bedazzled Headband Daydream Republic Emily got the bright pink one, and it's as cute as it looks!
(8) Heart Lollipops - Free at a shop, but you can find here
(9) Handmade Glitter Tassel Bookmark - The Glitter Mom At $20/bookmark you may balk... but do not. Order right away because they are more than you can imagine. The quality of the glitter. The art partnerships she does. The size of that huge and perfect tassel...
(10) Faux Fur Heart Purse Daydream Republic Both of my girls (100% different personalities) are flipping over these purses.
(11) Necklace unigirl There are a few things that I got for the kids that I also got for myself. This is one. It's so cute while also being cool.
(12) Escargot Book Amazon This French snail is going to a party!
(13) Heart Bath Bombs - These were from a small shop but may be discontinued; but check out your local shops for cute ones or check out our dino ones!
(14) Craft Kit - Target Target for the win on this one, as for $15 we have an activity and a toy to use in the playhouse!
Molly (6 year old girl)
In Molly's basket:
(1) Panda Storage Basket - Amazon Use this as the basket! There are a few other animal options, but of course ours if for a panda obsessed kid!
(2) Jump Rope - Found thrifting, but you can find one here.
(3) Celebrate Valentine's Day Book - Amazon A nonfiction book about how Valentine's Day is celebrated around the word!
(4) Heart Lollipops - Free at a shop, but you can find here
(5) Water Bottle / Tablet Stickers - Unigirl You might have to steal one (these designs are awesome) for yourself.
(5) Glitter Heart Ring - Made by Mandy I carried all her stuff in my old shop and it's the best. If you're not a Phoenix local and need it, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
(6) Bedazzled Headband Daydream Republic Molly got the lighter version.
(7) Faux Fur Heart Purse Daydream Republic Again, both of my girls (100% different personalities) are flipping over these purses.
(8) Easy Reader Valentine's Day Amazon
(9) Handmade Glitter Tassel Bookmark - The Glitter Mom This art collaboration is my personal favorite!
(8) Heart Lollipops - Free at a shop, but you can find here
(9) Handmade Glitter Tassel Bookmark - The Glitter Mom At $20/bookmark you may balk... but do not. Order right away because they are more than you can imagine. The quality of the glitter. The art partnerships she does. The size of that huge and perfect tassel...
(10) Faux Fur Pink Clips Daydream Republic
(11) Heart Bath Bombs - These were from a small shop but may be discontinued; but check out your local shops for cute ones or check out our dino ones!
(12) Necklace unigirl So cool and sweet at the same time - with lots of different graphic options!
(13) Counter - Amazon Busy Toddler clued me into this one. Simple but keeps them busy counting everything in the house (or in the car or on the street...).
(14) Craft Kit - Target They have enough themes that you'll probably find a good fit.
Andrew (8 year old boy)
In Andrew's basket:
(1) Mining Hat - Use this as the basket! Found antiquing, but you can use any costume hat (cowboy. construction worker, magician!)
(2) Joke Book - Amazon Andrew loves a good joke book.
(3) Golden Pokemon Cards - Amazon Can't get enough of these - golden spin for Valentine's.
(4) Superhero Mask - Still loves a good game of dress up! Ours was a re-gift, but you can get a cooler one here.
(5) Bath Bomb Dino Eggs - Amazon At this price ($15 for 9), we also have them on hand to embellish birthday party gifts!
(6) Where's Waldo Amazon Always a hit.
(7) Rubber Snake Ours was a re-gift from the playroom, but you can find something similar here.
(8) Chocolate Game Controllers Amazon The one we got is out of stock, but this one is similar!
(9) Heart Lollipops - Free at a shop, but you can find here
(10) Sports Team Water Bottle - Amazon We love this brand, and Andrew loves Alabama. It's pricy ($30) but worth it (as long as you get one that is obscure enough they can't lose it forever). I'm sure you can find an obscure sports team that is endearing to you in a Valentine's color too! ;)
(11) Smiley Beanie - Amazon The girls got hats (more on that in another post), and this one is perfect for those Arizona winter days. (We got frost last week - no joke!)
(9) Handmade Glitter Tassel Bookmark - The Glitter Mom Glitter isn't just for the girls. This was a big hit for a big reader!
That's a wrap on the love baskets! I hope you found something fun (or at least found some inspiration)!
