2023 Love Baskets

Hey, friends! The month of love is upon us, and I’m excited to share the love baskets I made for my daughters. So what exactly are Love Baskets? Baskets filled with seasonal items to spark some intentional memory making throughout the season. They are a fun little tradition we’ve been doing for the last couple of years. It’s a little way for me to be playful with getting them excited about the upcoming holiday. You may recognize this tradition from the Boo Baskets we create around Halloweentime. I love that it sparks some intentionality when making special memories for the season. Are they a necessity to have fun this February? Of course not. Do I love a little extra fun? Always.

There aren’t any rules for these, but some of my favorite items to include are new pajamas, crafts, books, and stuffed animals. I usually surprise the girls with them on February 1st, but these could easily be gifted on Valentine’s Day. I also love to use baskets or tubs that are easily repurposed for things like storage. These heart-shaped caddies will be perfect for the beach/pool this summer.

When it comes to Love Baskets, I typically get the girls many of the same items. I’ve listed the affiliate links below for everything I could source for you. You can also dive even deeper by checking out my Valentine’s Day highlight on Instagram.
