    4. A pack of Lucky Fortune collectible bracelets they'll love cracking open to reveal a piece of jewelry and a paper fortune. Just think of how cute their lil' arm will look with a stack of tiny charm bracelets (just like you!).

    5. A playful scratch-off Valentine's Day card you can write your own secret message on then watch with delight as they scratch to reveal it. Way better than a boring ol' regular card.

    14. A delectable heart-shaped cookie you can personalize with your kiddo's name — perfect if you have more than one tyke so they won't argue over which treat belongs to them.

    The kit comes with everything they'll need to make their own slime! It's recommended for kids ages 7 and up.

    Promising review: "This is the best slime kit I’ve come across. I saw it last minute before my daughter’s birthday (11) and thought I’d get it as an add-on to her presents. It ended up being her favorite gift! Her brother (8) joined in and made slime with her and she still has enough to make more of all types." —Elizabeth & Rick

    Promising review: "We need something to let the kids sing without having to turn on the whole karaoke system. This works like a charm. The Bluetooth connection helps as well. You can just turn on YouTube and look for any song and they probably have a karaoke version or a sing-along they can sing to. The range is also great. We were outside and the volume can be heard nicely." —Phong Bui

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Valentine's Day (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in 11 colors).
