Valentine's Day Basket 2026
February 3, 2026
Every time I make a holiday basket for Aryi I try to include a few things: a book, a holtztiger animal, pjs (if needed), socks (if needed), and underwear (if needed). We didn’t need any more clothing items this holiday. Also, know that we have tons of stickers and craft supplies for holidays because usually we have a few left over and it just adds up. I also will include any old books or holiday toys/items from past years.
The Goodnight Train Valentine
I like to put a book in every basket. We love the Goodnight Train Series. It is definitely a staple. We have Christmas, Halloween, Easter, The Original, and Rolls on. I am excited for this one. In addition I always pull out our old Valentine’s Day books. We have quite a few.

I thought we needed some fun festive sensory play, so I decided to get some dough jars. I know my son will love these because he loves candy and he loves ice cream. He loves to pretend to play with candy and ice cream.

I know my son in particular is going to lose it when he sees this. He loves monsters and “creatures”. He draws them pretty much daily. When I saw that this was a thing I knew he needed it for the next holiday. That just happened to be Valentine’s Day. So, not particularly a Valentine’s day gift, but it makes sense for my child.
Minnie and Mickey Bath Toys
We have an upcoming Disney trip. I saw these and thought they would be nice to bring on the trip. I thought it would be cute to add them into the basket since it was looking a little bare. One of the few times we expect to be in the room will be bath time and bed time, therefore I want to make it special. He got some Mickey bath bombs already and new Mickey PJs.
Holtztiger Flamingo
I always throw in a Holtztiger animal. I picked the flamingo purely because it is pink.
