Valentine’s Day is a day of celebration for more than just our relationships. Kids are just as excited to share Valentine’s Day with their friends and, more specifically, their classmates. Of course, you remember the excitement of bringing selections of Hershey’s kisses, heart-shaped suckers, and chocolate bars wrapped in pink and red home from school on Feb. 14. The nostalgia may have you reaching for the closest variety pack of V-Day themed candy, but with current classroom restrictions and food allergies, it may be time for a change.

That doesn’t mean the classroom fun has to come to an end, though! Some amazing Valentines substitutes may even be better than your traditional favorites. Don’t worry about scavenging through the best options; we got you covered with 15 of the best non-candy Valentines for your child and their classmates.
