Six Books for Valentine’s Day: Sweet Gift Ideas from Design Mom
One of My Favorite Things to Give on Valentine’s Day is Books

You know what I love about giving books on Valentine’s Day? They’re a treasure that doesn’t feel extravagant. And the best part? You can find dozens of sweet and beautiful choices under $15 (often under $10!). A book is a thoughtful gift that will be cherished for years to come. Here are six of my favorite book picks for Valentine’s Day.
You Know What I Love
We have a copy of “You Know What I Love” at home, and June has requested it every night since it arrived. She knows it so well now that she “reads” it to us! This heartwarming story is about a doll and her girl, and it’s a perfect pick for a sweet Valentine’s Day gift. The book is a beautiful reminder of the love and bond between a parent and child.
Monday Hearts for Madalene

Every Monday, Madalene would wake up to find a heart created just for her. This sweet token of true love is a beautiful gift idea for any child. The book is a perfect way to show your little one how much you care, and it’s a great way to start a heartwarming tradition.
Love Letters
“Love Letters” is a stunning collection of 200 letters from over the centuries. Some are historical, while others are fictional. Who doesn’t enjoy a good love letter? For years, Ben Blair and I exchanged a hand-written love letter on Valentine’s Day, but at some point we stopped. Will this be the year we start it up again? I hope so. This book is a beautiful reminder of the power of love letters and the impact they can have on our lives.
Counting Kisses

“Counting Kisses” is a sweet board book that’s perfect for toddlers and babies. “How many kisses does a tired baby need?” The book is a soothing way to help your little one wind down at bedtime, and it’s a great way to show your love and affection.
Hearts
“Hearts” is an offering from Toon Books, and it’s a great pick for a girl or a boy. What happens when Penelope the Fox drops her heart into the sea? A beautiful adventure awaits in this charming story. This book is a perfect gift for any child, and it’s a great way to teach them about the importance of kindness and empathy.
I Like You
And finally, I have to recommend “I Like You.” I know, I know, I recommend it every year, but it’s still so good! This sweet book is a perfect gift for a teenage crush, a favorite teacher, a husband or wife, a parent to a child, or a dear friend. It’s a beautiful reminder of the importance of kindness and friendship, and it’s a great way to show your loved ones how much you care.
Conclusion
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and I hope these book picks have given you some inspiration for the perfect gift. Remember, a book is a treasure that doesn’t feel extravagant, and it’s a thoughtful way to show your loved ones how much you care. Will you be giving any books for Valentine’s Day?
