When we are parents, we often fall in love with our children... As Valentine's Day approaches, we have a few ideas for you to declare your love to your children. At Charlie Crane, we think that this holiday is also an opportunity to tell our children how much they mean to us, and to teach them love with a capital A! And then when the children are still small, Valentine's Day for lovers is sometimes complicated to organize. Our team gives you its best gift ideas to make their little heart fall in love...
A night under the stars
Set up camp in the garden with a tent, sleeping bags, blankets, and tell stories under the stars. No garden in the area? Move to the living room, pile blankets and mattresses on the floor, then watch an astronomy documentary together.
A picnic
Picnics are very popular with children. In your bag, pack some chips, a few sandwiches and water bottles and you're ready for a family picnic in the park or in the forest.
A personalized book
Create a personalized book for your child, featuring an adventure where they are the hero. Kids love to see themselves in stories and it can be a very special experience.
Gift vouchers x
Create a series of personalized coupons that your children can exchange for special activities, such as a movie, a hug, a reverse dinner (we start with dessert and we end with the appetizer!) , a family outing, an extra portion of evening stories, an ice cream or a waffle, a trip to the newsagent...
A treasure hunt at home
To make children happy, all it takes (sometimes) is not much (yes, yes!). Organize a treasure hunt at home with riddles and clues that lead to a small treasure or surprise at the end. They will remember it for a long time...
A special love playlist
Music softens morals and fills hearts... What if you shared with your children songs that evoke special family moments? During your pregnancy, you were surely listening to certain melodies that marked these precious moments and that rocked your dreams as future parents. Today, it's up to your children to listen to them!
A special family day
Plan a day where you do activities that your kids love, like board games, a trip to the park, a home movie with their favorite movies, or even a day trip to a place they love.
It's up to you to decide...
A small variation of the family day, today, the children decide! Within reason, of course. Give them the choice between two activities to do, two menu ideas and so on... Your children will have the impression of experiencing extraordinary things.
