Whether your school doesn’t allow candy or you’re just trying to give fellow parents a break from policing party treats, we love a good non-candy valentine’s option. Below, we’ve rounded up 10 for kids of all ages that aren’t candy. Order them early to be sure they’re here in plenty of time.
Minted’s Classroom Valentines, $24/25 cards
These artist-created and personalized cards are available in a wide variety of styles, from Gen Alpha Trends like Six-Seven to interactive Puzzles & Games, including a Valentine’s Word Search.
Valentine’s Bath Bombs, $52.60 for 20 bath bombs and cards
Some Etsy options are so simple—think card templates or easy crafts—and while you could probably do some of them yourself, why not support another mom and save some time?
Berry Sweet Cards, $16 for 8 cards
These pretty Pottery Barn picks come with the cutest strawberry erasers and cards.
Fast Food Building Blocks, $32 for 30
Lego fans will love these adorable building sets, and last-minute moms will appreciate the Amazon availability.
Mini Play-Doh, $16 for 15
Preschool age kids can always use Play-Doh, and these mini sets come with festive stickers to personalize your gift.
String Bracelets, $25 for 48
We love the “Our class would knot be the same without you” play on words, and that the bracelet comes in a variety of colors.
Playful Pet Tattoo, $6 for 20
Not every CVS choice is centered around candy—there are some great options like tattoos, stickers and simple crafts if you dig a little deeper.
Bendy Pencils, $12 for 28
If your goal is to give something that will actually get used, you can’t go wrong with a fun pencil.
Watercolor Cards, $3 for 18
The price is right for this unique art set from Michael’s. Check out other options like their Wiggle Eye cards, adorable and also just a few dollars.
XO Cards, $15 for 34 sets
These sturdy Paper Culture sets are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and the company will plant a tree for every order—doesn’t get sweeter than that.
