12 Candy Free Valentine Ideas

Skip the sugar while sharing the love with these adorable candy free valentines ideas!

I really love Valentine’s Day. I love the colors and the pretty hearts and cupids that are hanging everywhere. I love the message of love and celebration of love that surrounds Valentine’s Day. However, what I do no love about Valentine’s Day is the plethora of candy that seems to come along with it!

Don’t get me wrong. I love a good sweet treat, especially one that is enjoyed in the name of celebration. However, I feel like sugary processed candy has stole the spotlight of so many holidays, this one included.

I know I’m not alone, and I have to say, in my years of teaching I’ve seen some pretty creative candy free Valentines come through my class. I love that!

Candy-free Valentines don’t have to be fancy or complicated to be just as fun and exciting as the sugary ones! I’ve complied a little list of some of my favorite candy-free Valentines ideas to help get you guys inspired!

Most of the candy-free goodies seen here can either be found at the dollar store or bought in bulk for minimum cost at a party supply store. Also, the list has something for all ages, so no matter the age or interest of your little Valentine, you are sure to find some healthy inspiration!
