Best Bathing Gift for Baby

We are huge, huge fans of Tubby Todd at Best Products. Their baby baths and lotions are some of the highest quality (which our little ones can't get enough of), and this year, they put together a fantastic set for Valentine's Day. This set comes with raspberry black currant body wash/shampoo and lotion and four raspberry black currant bath bombs.

Best for Teen Boys

Wireless Mouse

Teenage boys should still get Valentine's Day gifts from their parents, but let's face it —they're not going to be amped about a neon heart. The light-up mouse in red is a fun nod to the holiday while being useful for your child. Plus, the LED lights in the mouse are just so cool.

For Dry Skinned Kids

Handmade Heart-Shaped Balm with Dish

This gift is part lotion,-part traditional balm in a heart shape with a dish that matches.

If your kid's skin is always dry to the bone try this heart-shaped balm that sits in a heart-shaped dish. They might pick it up and hold it for a minute, at least long enough for it to melt a little and maybe they will rub it into their crunchy little knuckles.

For Your Sweetie

Wacky Face Daisies

Six oversized cookie creations in a bouquet is a bright and cheerful way to celebrate your kids.

And I get it, not everything should be heart-shaped. I got you. Enter the flower cookie buffet. Sure, it's a bit sticky-sweet -- sorry for the pun, but everyone loves a sugar cookie, and if they hate it, you can soothe yourself by eating the cookies.

For The Glow

Illuminated Doodle Pillowcase

This is an illuminated doodle pillowcase. Just draw on it with your finger and hold it up to be a light and it will then glow for about 15 seconds. It's a bit gimmicky, but in a way that makes sense for the most gimmicky of all of the holidays.

Mecha Astronaut Galaxy Projector Night Light

Now 14% Off

Not all galaxy projectors are the same. This one is astronaut/robot shaped, and the adjustable light show is pretty powerful.

This is what my son wants for Valentine's Day, and since a 15-year-old boy asked for something, and he sent me a link, I think that we both know that it's already a big winner. It is one of the goofier things he's asked for lately, and I love it. It's a galaxy projector night light. It's remote control, and it's got a cape.

For a Family Gift

Mayhem Board Game

This game has no business being this fun or funny. It plays a bit like Life or Sorry, but because of the sheer ridiculousness, it's a joy. Cats vs Pickles is a popular plush for kids already, so adding them into their own game is already a win. Everyone will love it.

For Extra Kids

Scented Glitter Pens

The fanciest of scented pens, this set of 10 is full of fun scents and also glitter gel. Your children will use these up with an absurd level of quickness, but thankfully, even in the pricey hellscape of inflation, this set of 12 still managed to come in at just over $10.

Less Mess Watercolor

Water Color -In Pad

Do you remember in the '90s and '00s the old water color-in books with the dots that spread with water? They've gotten much more sophisticated. This one is construction-themed with trucks and cones and build sites. And the genius bit of this set is that the water is stored in the brush!

Warm Feet, Warm Heart

Warm Fuzzy Socks for Kids, With Grippers (6 Pairs)

Kids love fuzzy socks, but they can be downright slippery. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about that with this six-pack of heart-patterned fuzzy socks because they have no-slip soles like the socks you get at the hospital. Even better, the no-slip soles have a very low profile, so kids can easily wear these under snow boots.

Warm their toes and their hearts with this gift.

Your little one will mix the cement, pour it into a mold, and then paint it with the provided paint. It's an outdoor toy, for sure. But it's one that will last them for years to come. One day it might sit in their garden beside their own child's stepping stone.
