Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for kids, moms + dads.

Over the weekend I did a little Valentine’s Day poll. I asked who goes out or stays in, who celebrates with the kids or gets a babysitter, who exchanges gifts and some other fun little questions. And then I asked you all to help me with gift ideas — Valentine’s Day gift ideas for kids, what moms really want for Valentine’s Day and what men really want for Valentine’s Day and here’s what you all came up with:
