Do you give your children Valentine's gifts?
My parents always gave my brother and me something to mark the day like a new sweater or candy.
My husband and I give the boys a new book and something else. Last year we gave them a new DVD. This year we are planning on bathing suits since I enrolled them in swim lessons.
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day with your kids or just your spouse?

I usually give the kids a new book.
Oh, I almost forgot DH always gets me flowers and DD gets one. It started a couple years ago when DD wanted a pretty flower for her room; DH has done it every year since. I will probably lose two flowers this year since DS is older. : )
I love any reason/excuse to give gifts. I have always gotten DS something for Valentines Day, along with DH obviously. This year I think DS is getting a new book, stuffed animal, balloon and some small candies. Maybe a few coloring books or cars. I typically will only spend $20ish on him. Not sure what DH is going to get but I always make his favorite meal for dinner, Chicken Parm with Alfredo and a cheesecake for dessert. I will also get something small for my parents from DS.
Eventhough it is a "Hallmark Holiday" Valentines Day is one of my favorites and a huge love fest month in our house.
Eta my dad always got me something. Usually the smaller version of whatever he got me mom.
Now we give her a chapter book + candy bar.
DH and I don't do anything for each other, no gifts. We just cook a meal we love and make some type of dessert and stay in.
