Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids: 5 Cute 2023 Picks

Valentine’s Day gifts for kids can be simple: something cuddly, something useful, or something fun to wear. In 2023, we tried a handful of picks from FAO Schwarz and Sweet Wink that fit those categories well.

ISCREAM Bursting Hearts Cosmetic Bag Trio

This set included three coordinated bags in different sizes. We liked it as a travel or organization gift because kids could use the smaller bag for little accessories and the larger clear bag for bigger items.

FAO Schwarz Plush Labrador With Heart Boppers

The plush Labrador was the classic cuddly pick in the group. The removable red heart boppers gave it the Valentine’s theme without making the toy feel too limited to one holiday.

Sweet Talk Microbead Heart Plush

This heart-shaped plush worked more like a soft pillow than a traditional stuffed animal. The 2023 version we tried was squishy, strawberry scented and covered with Valentine-style phrases.

Sweet Wink “Be Mine” Shirt and Glitter Heart Tutu

The shirt-and-tutu combination was the dress-up option. The tutu had a cotton lining, which helped make it more comfortable, and the pieces could be worn separately after Valentine’s Day.

Sweet Wink Heart Throb in Training Cap

The cap was the simpler accessory choice for kids who did not want a full Valentine’s outfit. The version we covered had an adjustable snap-back closure and came in a neutral color combination.

Bottom Line

The strongest ideas in this 2023 group were the ones that could still be useful after February 14: the cosmetic bags for travel and organization, the plush toys for everyday comfort, and the clothing pieces that could be mixed into other outfits.

Because these were seasonal 2023 products, check current retailer details if you are looking for the same items today.
