Why you should get Valentines gifts for your baby
- It is always fun to spoil your baby.
- You can buy things that you need and count them as a Valentines gift.
- There are so many fun baby Valentine's presents out there!
Toys
Toys are an obvious answer to what you should get your little Valentine, but it is true! They are always a great gift, and who doesn't like buying their little one a fun toy?
There are different types of toys, so you have various options for which direction to go. You have stuffed animals, educational toys, bath toys, and everything in between.
Stuffed animals
Stuffed animals are a classic Valentine's Day present and a common gift for babies. Getting a little teddy bear holding a heart for Valentine's Day is almost a right of passage.
There are a variety of great options for Valentine's stuffed animals you can give your baby. Some of our favorites are this adorable elephant, dinosaur, and frog. You can't go wrong with an adorable stuffed animal.
Educational
Okay, I know educational toys are so boring, but they are so important when it comes to development. Developmental toys typically have bright colors, making them more interesting to your little one.
For your 0-3 month old, these tummy time books are a perfect Valentine's Day gift. They distract your child while they are working on their neck strength. You can also try out these flashcards to help stimulate their visual development.
If you have a 3-6 month old, you should get this sensory teether toy. It helps your kiddo learn to grasp things in their little hands. One of Amazon's best sellers is this baby play mat that makes your baby a musician.
Because of the different textures, your 6+ month-old kiddos will love this stacking ring toy. These building blocks are great developmentally and easy to clean, so it is a win-win situation.
On-The-Go
Packing up toys can be tricky because some toys are harder to take on-the-go than others. That is why you should have some toys specific to when you are running errands, going on a drive, etc.
This is more of a gift to you, but it is definitely something you should get. A safety strap for a toy keeps the toy from falling on the ground or rolling away. Put this on any of your baby's toys to keep them clean and safe.
A cute little car seat toy will keep your baby happy and distracted while you are on a drive. It stays attached to the car seat and is always there to play with. There are many options, so find what your kiddo likes best.
Spinner suction cup toys are perfect for going out to eat because they stick right to the table. Your baby will have fun spinning the toy while you can enjoy your dinner.
Books
One of the best Valentine's Day gifts is a book. Books help kids learn many things and are fun to look at. There are different kinds of books too.
There are books for every occasion: activity books, board books, bath books, etc. I love all of the adorable Valentine's Day books out there too. Spend this special day of love reading with your little love.
Activity Books
Activity books are perfect for brain development because they usually teach cause and effect. This activity book has little flaps so your babies can lift them and see what is underneath.
There is even an activity book based on the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. Your baby can learn about different colors and textures while enjoying this classic book.
To get the best bang for your buck, get this 6 pack of soft books. They are machine washable, and each book discusses a different theme, like colors, nature, and shapes.
Board Books
Board books are a solid pick because they are the perfect toy and an educational toy. Kids of all ages love books, so a board book is a gift the whole family could enjoy. Plus, babies can chew on these books all day without destroying them.
Dr. Seuss's books are children's classics, so this Dr. Seuss board book set is a great idea to get your baby.
You will find many Valentine's Day board books to choose from. Some of our favorites are "Llama Llama I love you," "I Wheelie Love You," and "Happy Valentine's Day Mouse."
Bath Books
Bath time is a great time to read with your kiddo because there are not a ton of distractions. Bath books typically float and are made of waterproof material so they cannot be ruined in the tub.
Some bath books, like this "Scrub-a-Dub in the Tub" book, even come with toys. You can have peace of mind that your baby has safe toys to play with in the tub.
Practical
Your baby will not remember its first Valentine's Day, so I say it is okay to give them practical things you need to buy anyway. Yeah, it may not be as fun, but this is a great way to save money if you are on a tight budget.
You can always mix it up and do a Valentine's gift basket with practical items and fun Valentine's things. It is completely up to you.
First off, diapers. Babies always need diapers, and they can get so expensive! There are cute Valentine's Day diapers out there during love season, so fill a cute little basket with love diapers for this holiday full of love.
If you get diapers, you have to get wipes. They come in a pair, and your baby needs them anyway! To make the set complete, buy some diaper cream so your baby is all set in the diaper department.
Next, bath essentials. There are the most incredible bath sets out there that smell divine. This lavender soap and lotion set smells amazing and will help relax your baby, so it is a must-have.
Get a cute baby towel or robe to make your baby feel like they are at the spa. Pair this with a grooming kit and your home really will feel like a baby spa. These little luxuries will make bath time an event.
Your baby is so lucky to have a parent who wants to spoil them. We hope you have an incredible Valentine's Day!
