6 unique Valentine's Day gift ideas your kids will adore

Why not make this Valentine's Day special with gifts for both your sweetheart and your kids so that everyone you love gets to celebrate! Here are six great ideas for gifts to give to your kids on Valentine's Day they're sure to adore.

One unique idea for your kids is to make them each a homemade Valentine.

• Get some red and pink construction paper, paint and markers to make them a personalized and unique Valentine's Day card.
• Add a few photos of the two of you together to make it extra special.
• For a fun activity, you can get the whole family together to make Valentine's Day cards for each other.
• Younger children, especially, love this kind of activity because of the opportunity to talk about the memories associated with each photo.

Stuffed animals are great for kids of all ages.

• You can buy a stuffed teddy bear or dog for each child in your family, give it a name, and create an "adoption" certificate that you print out and present to each child.
• You can even buy special Valentine's Day stuffed animals that hold a heart, or come in the shape of a heart to give your gift a special Valentine's Day touch.
• If you and your child visited a special place in the past, such as a museum or zoo, perhaps a stuffed animal from there would help enhance the story you build around the "adoption" certificate. Many places, like museums, have online stores where you could make such a purchase.

Every kid can always use a new pair of socks– but not plain old "Dad" socks. They're boring.

• Why not buy your child cute socks with hearts on them to celebrate Valentine's Day, and add to their wardrobe?
• You can even try to look for matching socks, underwear and/or pyjamas with hearts on them.

A small stuffed animal wearing their new socks would help liven up the fun!

You can always rent a movie for a cosy night in, but getting to go out and see a great kid's movie on the big screen (snacks included!) is even more exciting.

• If your kids love getting out of the house, take them to the movies on Valentine's Day.

Whether you have boys or girls, jewellery and accessories can make a great, sentimental gift.

• You can get your son a watch or a new pair of sunglasses. For your daughter, you can pick out a nice necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings.

You might not let your kids to eat whatever they want most of the time, but on Valentine's Day why not let them plan the meal for a change and pick the entertainment.

• Ask them to choose their favourite menu. Then cook it for them with all the fixings so you can celebrate together.
• Afterwards, you could enjoy one of their favourite movies on Blu-Ray – even if you've seen it 1,000 times before!

Although Valentine's Day is mostly considered to be for "couples only", it's also about celebrating your love for family, which includes children.  Why not try one of these 6 unique and fun gifts to show your kids how much you care?
