Valentine’s day is not just about celebrating romantic love with amorous gestures of gifting between lovers. History has it that Valentine’s Day is a commercial celebration of romantic love in many countries around the world where men would traditionally adorn their wives with flowers, sweets, and presents as a gesture of their true love. But these days, it seems the idea of a love month celebration has even broadened where Valentine’s Day could be a feast of self-love, love for your friends, family, or children too.
For our loving parents out there, why not spread the love to your kids by giving them something to hold dear or something that will remind them how much they’re loved, especially on V-day? Planning for the best gift to give your children can be a difficult task for busy parents. So, we’re hoping to make your job a little bit easier by hand-curating a list of our favourite gift ideas your tiny humans will surely adore!
Unicorn Hopper Toy
For the love of unicorns, here’s something kids can grab ahold of and bounce away for unlimited time of fun at home. Hopper toys are best for kids aged 3 and above. Not only does this toy provides happiness during playtimes but it also has significant health rewards that help strengthen the child’s muscles and develop balance and coordination. When choosing an inflatable hopper toy, look for something that is easy to inflate and deflate for convenient storage when not in use.
Fairy Collectables
Ideal gifts from My Magical Fairy & Me can live up your kid’s imagination of a fairy kingdom with its gripping, melting pot of fairy collectables. Check out their collections of decorative pillows, kiddie cutlery sets, bookmarks, and more.
Duck Bath Bomb
The best way to get your kids excited about bath time is by giving them a bath buddy as cute as this rubber ducky bath bomb. This is also available in Valentine ducky (in heart shapes) and Vegan sprinkles features that provide a tangible buddy out of a bath bomb.
Kingdom Hearts III
Available in PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the new instalment of Kingdom Hearts game series is the kind of heart that your tiny gamers want for Valentine’s Day. Nothing says love like getting this video game tape from our parents for the month love.
Heart Earrings
Parents can’t wait to see their daughters wearing their first pair of stud earrings. Maybe it’s a good idea to use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to give her a pair of heart studs that symbolise a parent’s unconditional love.
Fluffy Slime
Children can’t say no to the cuteness of this fluffy slime. But if looking at this adorable picture doesn’t convince you, know that slimes can have incredible benefits to children at their pre-school age. These include the development of the senses where kids can engage and practice their sense of touch. And for many kids, tactile activities such as slime making can be a source of fun and relaxation at the same time.
Power Wheels
Electric cars with power wheels are probably the best toys to give your big boy this Valentine’s Day. Bring out the ‘baby driver’ in your child as he learns the basics of manoeuvring a vehicle at a young age. Power wheels are available at any local toy stores such as Toys R Us and Baby Company.
Compact Mirror and Charger
A portable charger in the inside and a compact mirror on the outside – this ingenious device works as an LED lighted compact mirror and a USB battery pack power bank at the same time. Perfect for young teens who are just starting to get hooked on mobile phones and other social devices. (Sigh.)
