18 Perfectly Personalized Valentine Gifts for Grandchildren
Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love of all kinds. Romantic love with our spouses. Love for our friends and family members. Even love for our pets. You’re probably shopping for your grandchildren for Valentine’s Day as well.
Sure, you can buy them chocolates, flowers, and stuffed animals. But why not do something different and get them a personalized gift? This will show them how much you love them because you put their name on it.
They’ll love it because it will be a gift that shows that it’s theirs. No more fighting with siblings over blankets, pillows, or dishes. A personalized gift will stake the claim that it belongs to them. No questions asked.
Here are some ideas for the perfect personalized gift this Valentine’s Day.
1. Personalized Blanket.
Kids love blankets. They sleep with them, carry them around, and curl up with them on movie night. Do your grandkids get into arguments over whose blanket is whose or who stole whose blanket? Then get them each their own personalized blanket with their name on it.
Find it here on Personalization Mall.
2. Photo Pillow
Put your favorite photo of you and your grandkids on a pillow and send it to them. They will love sleeping on it at night and dreaming of you and also getting comfy with it on movie night, in the car, or wherever else they may go.
3. Photo Blanket
Like the pillow above, put your favorite photo of you and your grandkid (or kids) on a blanket. They will want to take it everywhere.
4. Personalized Storybook
Companies like Wonderbly and Story Bug can personalize a storybook using your grandchild’s name. They will love having a book that features their name about a topic they love. Story themes on Wonderbly include imaginative, empowering, bedtime, and Christmas. Meanwhile, titles on Storybug include themes like First Christmas, Monster Trucks, princesses, etc.
Find it HERE on Wonderbly or HERE on Storybug.
5. Custom M&M’s
Okay, I know I gave the thumbs down to chocolate earlier because it was typical for Valentine’s Day. Realistically, I never turn down chocolate. However, personalized chocolate isn’t typical. Did you know you can get custom-printed M&M’s? Yes, you can. So why not get your grandchild some M&M’s in their favorite color with a brief message printed on them like, “I love you.” or “Love you to the moon and back” or even just their name?
6. Personalized Name Puzzle
Kids love puzzles, and a personalized name puzzle is a magnificent gift. Puzzles help kids grow in their fine motor skills, and one with their name will help them learn name recognition.
7. Name Meaning Printable Wall Art
What’s in a name? Names are significant because each one has a special meaning. Our names help make us unique because of the vast array of options to choose from. Consider getting your grandchild some wall art that has the meaning of their name on it.
8. Homemade Treats
You can’t go wrong with homemade treats. Grandma’s goodies make the world go ‘round. For me, it was my grandmother’s buttermilk cookies as a kid. Go online and find a container or cookie tin you can customize with their name and then fill it with their favorite homemade treats. Talk about a sweet Valentine’s Day!
9. Personalized Jewelry
Buy a bracelet or a necklace with a pendant that can be engraved, and add a special message to it. This could be a term of endearment, something you say to them all the time or a favorite Bible verse. For example, my friend Becky tells her grandchildren, “I love you to the moon and back.” all the time. This would be a great example of something she could have engraved on a bracelet or necklace for one of her granddaughters.
Another idea is to get them jewelry that matches their birthstone. You could even look online and see if you can find someone who can put a photo on jewelry, like a pendant on a necklace that’s a picture of you and your grandkids.
10. Framed Photo
Look for a photo frame that says, “Grandma and me” or “Grandpa and me” or “Favorite Grandchild” and then put a photo of you and them in it. Here are some nice ones I found on Amazon:
11. Personalized Stuffed Sloth Toy
Sloths are all the rage, so why not get them a personalized sloth-stuffed toy? This cute toy reads, “Name, I love you slow much” on his tummy.
