Toys and themed trinkets are starting to arrive in stores, which are perfect for Valentine’s Day treats, gifts, and surprises! I always give my kids a little gift on Valentine’s Day. Nothing big or fancy, but something budget-friendly and that shows love in some way. I also make the day fun with these activities and ideas too!

Here are a few cute, cuddly, sweet and fun Valentines Day toys under $30!

CARE BEARS LOVE-A-LOT BEAR (Basic Fun)

Show you care with this NEW super-soft pink plush bear, ready for unlimited bear hugs. Not only are teddy bears a popular gift to give to your valentine, but having one that is a soft pink blush color, with two adjoining hearts, and called Love-a-Lot takes it to the next level! Ages 4+. Available at Amazon.

CHOCOLATE PEN (Skyrocket)

What’s better than chocolate on Valentine’s Day?! Giving a gift where you can decorate, draw, and design in chocolate! Show your kids you are sweet on them with a real-working Chocolate Pen! Melt the USA-made chocolate in the included container, lift the liquid chocolate into the pen and then decorate – or make chocolates using the included mold. Ages 6+. Available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

SNAPSTYLE PRINTABLE MASKS (Skyrocket)

Keep loved ones safe with a totally unique gift – DIY face masks made with 100% cotton, printable fabric, and photos from your mobile device. No sewing required but this kit uses fabric-printing technology! You can see my full review here! Imagine making cute masks printed with your lips in a pucker, a cute couples photo, conversation hearts, or a pic with the whole family! Great for all ages, especially anyone who loves creative, custom gifts. Ages 5+. Available on Amazon and in-stores at Walmart.

Crayola Model Magic Heart Valentine Craft Kit

A string of hearts is an adorable way to create and decorate using Model Magic. Crayola modeling clay is lightweight, non-toxic, and won’t stick to little fingers. Once the heart crafts are dry, string them together for a festive decoration. Get a few for Valentine’s Day-themed virtual parties where everyone can make one remotely together! Ages 5+. Available on Amazon.

Other Ideas

Some other kid ideas for Valentine’s Day are to give a small piece of jewelry, a video game code, or an accessory for a toy they got for the holidays – like a plush pet for their dolls, a joystick for their video game console, a supplementary accessory for their building set.

No matter what you get, Valentine’s Day has never been sweeter! If you want more ideas on making Valentine’s Day fun for kids, check out all the Valentine’s Day theme posts here!
