Valentine’s Day is a few weeks away!
If you’re looking for a fun gift idea, I’ve rounded up some items for the kiddos, gifts for men, and gifts you may want to send to your Valentine (as a “hint-hint”) for yourself!
– Valentine’s Day Gifts Ideas For Kids –
Most of these are items we’ve purchased for our kids in the past that were big hits, along with a few new items. If I had to pick our top 5 favorite items on the list, they would be…
- Extreme Geyser Tube: Hands down the best stocking stuffer from Christmas. This soda lab experiment is SO fun, can be used again and again, and best of all — it’s an outdoor activity for the kids to do with friends, neighbors, etc. I continue to purchase mentos and 2 liters — this has been such a big hit on our street!
- LED Bike Lights: Both kids have these and not only are they super cool, they help keep the kids a little extra safe when they are riding around while the sun sets.
- Scratch Art Mini Notes: Caroline carries these around with her everywhere. She loves these little notes.
- Battleship: A GREAT joint gift, this family game is always one of our favorites to play together.
- Flash Lights: We can never have enough of these. The kids love using these outside in the evening while playing with friends — hello, flashlight tag!

If I had to pick my top 5 from this list…

I get a compliment on it EVERY single time I wear it. It’s amazing. I have not yet tried it but the Ambery Saffron perfume is supposed to smell exactly the same for a fraction of the cost.

– Valentine’s Day Gifts Ideas For Him –
Last but not least, gift ideas for him!
Matt’s top 5 from this list…
- Peter Millar Apollo Sneakers: Matt loves these sneakers so much he has them in two colors (available in 6!). He told me I had to include these in this year’s gift guide as his #1 gift pick!
- Game Day Pullover: With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this best-selling quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall. It is designed with an innovative stretch French terry fabric that is moisture-wicking, quick-dry, UPF 50+ sun protection and easy-care. I surprised Matt with the Ohio State pullover for his birthday this year and he absolutely loves it!
- Bluetooth Headphone Sleep Mask: I grabbed this Bluetooth headphone sleep mask for Matt to help him sleep better and he LOVES it. This noise-canceling sleep mask is made with premium lightweight foam and features a smooth silk lining (super comfortable and breathable). The sound quality is excellent too and the mask holds a charge for 10 hours of playtime. And we’ve found some high-frequency (432 Hz stress-relief) music for him to listen to on Spotify that is really helping him fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.
- Creed Aventus Cologne: A reader favorite, this cologne is worth every penny. It is absolutely incredible and smells insanely good.
- Floafers: I got these for Matt 3 summers ago and I swear he would sleep in them if I let him. These waterproof driver shoes are SO comfortable, come in several colors and look super sharp. Matt got SO, SO, SO many compliments on these shoes all summer long. He’s obsessed with them.
- Jack Black Set (Matt’s favorite products are their face wash, lip balm, and face moisturizer)
- goodr Sunglasses
- Outdoor Fellow Candle
- HMBL Home Pillows: Use code NCCHARM15 for 15% off your purchase!
- Tommy John Boxers: These second skin boxers tie with the lululemon Always In Motion Boxers as Matt’s favorite.
- Cold Brew Coffee Maker
- Butcher Box: From game day spreads to wild-caught seafood, there are so many delicious gift box options available to pick from. We subscribed to Butcher Box for 2 years and loved it. I love the idea of purchasing steaks to make together for Valentine’s Day!
- Robe: This soft, cord-textured cotton terry robe comes in 4 colors!
- Game Day Pullover: With tons of collegiate and MLB teams to pick from, this best-selling quarter-zip pullover is the ideal mid-weight layer for game day in the fall. It is designed with an innovative stretch French terry fabric that is moisture-wicking, quick-dry, UPF 50+ sun protection and easy-care. I surprised Matt with the Ohio State pullover for his birthday this year and he absolutely loves it!
- Shower Steamers: Aromatherapy shower bombs for muscle soreness, stress, and fatigue. Comes with 12 eucalyptus mint steamers formulated with peppermint extract, eucalyptus, baking soda and menthol.
- Woven Lightning Charger Phone Cord w/ Weighted Knot: I got this as a stocking stuffer for Matt and he absolutely loves not having to crawl under the bed to find the end of his phone charger cord.
- Sunrise Alarm Clock: Wake by light with a sunrise simulation for heavy sleepers. This digital clock features 7 color lights, 7 natural sounds, and 20 levels of adjustable brightness. You can also use it as a night light or reading lamp.
- Smart Jump Rope: An adjustable jump rope that keeps track of workout data including jump count, calories burned, and time spent jumping.
- Backgammon Game Set
- Bluetooth Headphone Sleep Mask: I grabbed this Bluetooth headphone sleep mask for Matt to help him sleep better and he LOVES it. This noise-canceling sleep mask is made with premium lightweight foam and features a smooth silk lining (super comfortable and breathable). The sound quality is excellent too and the mask holds a charge for 10 hours of playtime. And we’ve found some high-frequency (432 Hz stress-relief) music for him to listen to on Spotify that is really helping him fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.

- Cozy Earth Ultra-Soft Bamboo Joggers + Sweatshirt: Matt was so jealous of my loungewear set that I purchased one for him (the joggers & pullover crew) and he lives in it when he’s home…and now we both have matching loungewear with Oprah (listed as one of her favorite things)! Anyway, Cozy Earth offered me a promo code for 40% off for y’all — Use CAROLINACHARM40 at checkout!
- Floafers: I got these for Matt two summers ago and I swear he would sleep in them if I let him. These waterproof driver shoes are SO comfortable, come in several colors and look super sharp. Matt got SO, SO, SO many compliments on these shoes all summer long. He’s obsessed with them.
