My family and I are heading to warmer weather for Valentine’s Day/Presidents’ Day weekend, and we’re meeting up with two other families with kids! My friend suggested the idea that it would be fun to put together little beachy Valentine’s gift bags for them and of course I was all in. The boys’ bags range from ages 2.5 to 9, and the girls’ bags are for ages 2.5 to 7. Some of what I ordered is super compact and easy to pack… and some of it, well, I’ll just figure it out.

If you’re heading somewhere warm (or just dreaming of it) or you live in a warmer climate, these are fun little Valentine’s surprises for beach-loving kids!

Gift Bags for the Boys (Ages 2.5 – 9) 🏴‍☠️🏖️

Each boy is getting a black mesh drawstring bag—perfect for carrying all their sandy treasures. Here’s what’s inside:

• Dirt Bike Toy – A fun little motocross bike for racing on the sand.
• Blue & White Pool Float – A simple, classic float they can use in the pool or ocean.
• Silicone Beach Bucket & Shovel Set – Sturdy, packable, and much better than flimsy plastic ones. The shovel is so easy to bring everywhere too. If lunch or dinner is near a sandy area, all they need is one of these shovels to stay happily occupied.
• Airplane Building Kit – A little something for hands-on fun, whether at the beach or inside during downtime.
• Crayola Bath Pen Soap – Because what kid doesn’t love drawing on the tub?
• YumEarth Lollipops & Black Forrest Gummy Bears – A little treat to make it extra sweet.

Gift Bags for the Girls (Ages 2.5 – 7) 💕☀️

The girls’ goodies are going in these little pink rubber bags that totally crack me up—like tiny knockoff designer Christian Dior beach totes. Inside, they’ll find:

• Heart-Shaped Pool Float – Glittery, fun, and Valentine’s-perfect (we’ll blow it up once we get there!).
• Valentine’s Day Candy Heart Pouch – Sand friendly, too!
• Silicone Beach Bucket & Shovel Set – Just like the boys, but in a cute, girly color.
• Scrunchie – Because every little beach girl needs one!
• Seashell Painting Kit – A fun little craft to keep them entertained.
• Crayola Bath Pen Soap – More bath time fun.
• YumEarth Lollipops & Black Forrest Gummy Bears – Because treats are a must.

Bringing a Little Valentine’s Fun to the Beach

I love putting together things like this for trips—it makes the kids feel extra special and gives them something fun to look forward to. Plus, most of this is easy to pack (except the inflatables).

If you’re planning a warm-weather getaway or just want to bring some beachy vibes to your Valentine’s Day, these little gifts are perfect.
