I loved putting these baskets together for Valentine’s Day! Some cute snacks, pajamas, an outfit, socks, a book, and a few fun little things to play with all tucked into some useful crates that we will be able to use again and again!

we had a fun heart party to celebrate valentine’s day this year! We had a big stack of heart waffles with a heart sparkler candle, heart shaped sugar cookies, and of course - conversation heart candies! we decorated with heart and x+o balloons, made valentine cards and bracelets.

Here are 16 of the cutest valentine's day books for children (in my opinion!) I had to stop myself at 16, but there are so many sweet books about love, hugs, kisses, hearts, and friendship. My kids love books and I love giving them books for special occasions - and I always include a book in their gift baskets!
