Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romance. We like to think of it as a day to celebrate everyone you love—and even those you just like a lot. One thoughtful way to do that? Personalized Valentine’s Day care packages that can be mailed, dropped off on a doorstep or presented in person. It’s a really fun way to help spread a little love to all your favorite people.

Bonus: For every idea, we’ve made suggestions to level-up the love and make a Valentine’s Day Care Package extra special.

Put together a basket of Valentine’s Day gifts that lets the whole family enjoy time together. Kissing Cow plush with sound will get the whole group in a lovey mood. A puzzle is a fun and relaxing (and quiet) activity that everyone can enjoy. Send along all the makings for hot cocoa, including cocoa mix and heart-shaped marshmallows.

Level it up: Don’t forget to let your special someone know how much you love them with a card. Tuck it in or present it with a little token of your love, like this “Key to my heart” Keepsake Ornament.

Valentine care package ideas for your favorite couple  

Whether they’re newlyweds or longtime loves, you can celebrate a couple you know by giving them the ingredients for a romantic night in. Fill our popcorn bowl with their favorite snacks and some adult beverages and this cute drinkware set. Give them hours of romantic movies to watch with a Hallmark+ gift subscription.

Valentine care package ideas for siblings  

Give your siblings the gift of quality time with their family by sending them a fun board game or puzzle they can do together. If there’s a particular game you enjoyed growing up or a puzzle that would be meaningful or funny, even better. Include a card explaining why you chose what you chose and throw in some Valentine’s Day candy or homemade treats. You could even make a customized card with a photo of you together from childhood!

Level it up: Keep them comfy during family game or puzzle time with matching pajamas for the whole family.

Valentine care package ideas for parents  

Frame one or more favorite family photos or put them in a small photo album. Include a note letting them know why you chose the photos—and don’t forget to add how much you love ’em, because it’s always nice to hear. Adding mugs with items for their preferred hot drink (tea packets, bags of coffee, hot chocolate packets) would also be a nice touch.

Level it up: If they live in a place where it’s chilly at this time of year, think about including something warm and cozy like matching scarves or fuzzy socks or slippers. Bonus points if you make the scarves yourself! If they live in a place that’s warmer, matching flip-flops or sunhats might be more appropriate.

Level it up: If you want to give a girlfriend a gift card to one of her favorite places, make it cute by putting it in a fuzzy gift card holder. Add a fun keychain to your gift by tucking it in a card or attaching it to your gift bag.

Valentine care package ideas for military members  

When someone who serves is stationed far away, they’ll no doubt appreciate anything that reminds them of home.

Keep the love notes going by including a package of Hallmark stationery and a few nice pens.

Level it up: Add in some cuteness with Val-themed socks or underwear.

Valentine care package ideas for the sweet-lover  

Whether it’s your bestie, your sibling or the love of your life, they’re sure to go nuts for donuts. Pick up some fancy donuts and package them up in a cute box, then add in a coffee mug with some fancy flavored coffee or cocoa. Find a cute card that speaks to how good you are together. Then share a tribute to what a great pair you are with this adorable Better Together plush set.

Level it up: Pour on the sweetness with an array of their favorite candies.

Valentine care package ideas to send across the miles  

It’s hard being far from a kid you care about on Valentine’s Day. But whether you’re a grandparent who lives far away, an aunt who’s deployed with the military or a parent who’s away on a business trip, you can still shower kids with love, even from a distance.

These Recordable Storybooks deliver a sweet message of caring, recorded with your own voice. They make great keepsakes for years to come. A T-shirt or souvenir from where you are brings a little piece of your world into theirs—and if it’s a candy or sweet treat that’s local to your area, even better! Pack it all up in one of our cute gift bags, then slip in a card to write your heartfelt Valentine’s message. 

Level it up: Include a Recordable Plush for the little ones in your life. Read our ideas for recordable messages here.

Valentine care package ideas for coworkers  

Sending a little something to co-workers (or leaving it on their desks) is unexpected but always appreciated. Consider giving a stress ball or something else to fidget with in meetings or on calls, along with a small note of appreciation. A reusable water bottle gives them a way to stay hydrated.

Level it up: Include a small relaxation candle to help them decompress at home.

We hope these Valentine’s Day care package ideas help you share love with all the special people in your life!
