14 Valentine’s Day Gifts For Kids That aren’t Chocolate

In this post, I share some really fun Valentine’s Day gifts for kids. Valentine’s Day is all about love and chocolate, but I decided to “get creative” and do non food Valentine days gifts for kids that were extra special! These gifts invoke a feeling of love and creativity and will last a lot longer than a bag of candy or a box of chocolates. I wish they had such innovative gifts when my kids were younger.
