Holiday shopping is the best, isn’t it? I mean who doesn’t love a new tiny Christmas outfit—baby argyle sweater vests, toddler bowties, big poofy holiday skirts… so much to love. And nothing beats Halloween style with orange pumpkin dresses and spooky black and white skirts. But there’s another holiday that sneaks in there with its super cute kids’ outfits too, and it’s coming up here pretty soon. That’s right—we’re talking about Valentine’s Day and if you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough of the pinks, hearts, and bows, plus all the Xs and Os (whether they’re on your kids’ clothes or the Valentine’s Day decor you’ve been adding to your cart!) Thankfully, there are endless choices for Valentines Day outfits out there to channel your love for Cupid’s big day.

I think one of the reasons Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday to celebrate with young kids is that to them, all they know about “love” is Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, siblings, friends and teachers. They have the same amount of love for their stuffed octopus that they snuggle in bed every night as they do for the neighbor boy down the street they might end up dating in high school someday. Valentine’s Day to little kids is pure, innocent and all about showing the people in their lives how special they are, and taking the opportunity to say to their pals “I’m glad you’re my friend.”

So dressing your little ones up in a bright pink tutu or a t-shirt that says something adorable like “Wanna go on a playdate?” or a pair of soft, comfy Valentine’s Day pajamas covered in sparkly hearts is the perfect way to celebrate this sweet holiday about love, friendship, hugs, and kisses.
We’re here to help with a list of cute Valentine’s Day outfits from newborns to big kids. Happy shopping!
