This year I’m giving my kids wrapped gifts instead of a Valentine’s basket. I tend to go a little overboard when I have a basket to fill, so this was my attempt to scale back this year. Each of my kids is getting a few gifts geared toward their special interests – frozen for my daughter and vehicles and farms for my son.
I used reusable wrapping for a couple reasons. Obviously it’s best to reduce waste, but I also find these wrapping cloths (from Souris Mini) are super easy and fast to wrap with. These cloths are technically from Christmas, but I think they work for Valentines’s Day too. The pink gifts are wrapped in Sarah’s Silks from our basket of silks and cloths in the playroom.
Here’s what’s inside the gifts
5 Year Old Girl
- Disney Frozen Doll (Costco)
- Frozen Coding Kit (Dollarama)
- Flubby does NOT like Valentine’s Day book
- Chocolates (a few)
3 Year Old Boy
- Brio airplane (from a store that had a closing sale)
- Tara Treasures felt Barn Bag (Mymy and Me)
- Farm Animal Play Pieces (Eye Spy Club)
- Llama Llama I love you book
