With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I wanted to share this really fun Baby Valentine’s Day Basket that I put together for Leonie! It was so much fun and I can’t wait for her first Valentine’s Day! Some of the items aren’t your “typical” gifts for 8 month olds but I think that makes me love it even more. I know that she will have these things for years to come!
Baby Valentine’s Day Basket
I started by doing a quick search on Amazon to find a wire basket that was inexpensive but still looked nice. I also needed some tissue paper for other gifts so I put some of that in my cart as well. One thing I will say is that this basket is pretty small. It won’t fit a ton and it probably wouldn’t work if you wanted to give big toys. However, for Leonie, I think it is the perfect size and I plan to reuse it for Easter as well.
The first thing I knew I wanted for the basket was the new Minted custom gifts! I LOVE giving (and receiving!) custom gifts. It makes it so special to know that it was made just for you! Plus, Manuel and I spent a lot of time trying to come up with the name Leonie so we are going to use it as much as possible – haha!
Custom Puzzle from Minted
How amazing is a custom puzzle?! I loved this design and the fast that I could add a picture of Leonie, her name, and even an “L” to the flag at the top of the castle. This makes such an amazing keepsake gift that she will still be able to play with and enjoy (when she gets a bit older).
It came in a gorgeous blush pink keepsake box that had gold lettering on it. Already I was super impressed.
The inside of the box had “this is the start of something beutiful” and I don’t know why but that gave me all the feels! Plus the puzzle was then wrapped in a fabric bag. I also loved that a picture of the puzzle was included so that we can reference it while we are putting the puzzle together.
With both kid and adult designs, these custom puzzles are perfect for a snowy day activity with the littles or a romantic date night at home with your partner! Available in 12, 60 and 252 piece counts.

Mae + Kate Boutique Heart Bear
Isn’t this bear just the sweetest thing? I thought with the red heart, it was absolutely perfect for this baby Valentine’s Day basket! Plus, the owner of this shop is a dear friend, and mama herself! I love getting to support small woman-owned businesses like hers! You can find her shop here.
Minted Catch-All Fabric Pouch Set
How fun are these fabric pouches? I love the leather tag with Leonie’s name and they will be perfect for her diaper bag! I actually loved them so much that I got matching “Mommy and Me” ones.

Putting the Valentine’s Day basket together
I finished the basket off with a heart cut from pink patterned cardstock with her name written on it. Then I tied it with some red ribbon that I had leftover from Christmas. I was so happy with the way it turned out. I know that each item is intentional. And they are all keepsakes that she will be able to use for many years to come!
