Personalized Hugging Plush Puppies

Amazon

$29.99

Stuffies are a classic Valentine’s Day gift for all ages, but they’re an especially apt pick for the littlest loves among us. These sweet pups from Amazon can be personalized with two names, making them a great pick for a pair of siblings or a child who could use some extra hugs from Mom or Dad. The paws Velcro together, so they can keep them in an embrace or pull them apart for playtime.

Squishy Gummy Bear Light

If Valentine’s Day had an unofficial mascot, it would be sugar. However, if you’re anything like most parents, the last thing you probably want to do is give your child yet another excuse to stay up past their bedtime. Instead, gift them this cute gummy bear night light for Valentine’s Day. It’s squishy and bright (just like the real deal) and boasts an interior LED light that will flood their room with a colorful glow.
