For new parents, Valentine’s Day gifts for babies who will never remember the day, is of course just one more way to justify buying something adorable.
So this year, we pulled together 14 sweet but modern Valentine’s Day gifts for babies that are so fabulous we hope you’ll cherish them even after the holiday is over. Some might be keepers for years. (And, hey, if you’re looking for Valentine’s Day gifts for kids who are a little older we have that covered too.)

How sweet are these white leather heart-dotted moccasins? Your little heartthrob will look adorable in these all spring. ($60, Freshly Picked)
Huggy Kissy by Leslie Patricelli
You can never go wrong with books for kids and Valentine’s Day gives you one more excuse to stock your baby’s bookshelves.

Babies love bold colors and geometric shapes — and anything they can chew on — so I think this baby-safe wooden toy by HABA is a perfect modern Valentine’s Day gift for babies. ($15.88, Amazon)
Star Wars Valentine’s Onesie
It can be hard to find Valentine’s day gifts for babies that aren’t all pink or lovey-dovey, which is why I think this Darth Vader onesie is brilliant for boys or girls. Plus, they can wear it even after February is long past. ($12.95, Madison Handmade)

Te Amo Print
Ooh I love this print found on Etsy that balances cool graphic design with a sweet and simple sentiment.

Honest Co. Conversation Heart Diapers
Okay so we don’t tend to think of diapers as an indulgent little Valentine’s gift for a baby, but we can’t resist these limited edition conversation heart diapers that will make your baby the talk of the town. Or at least, Facebook. ($13.95, The Honest Co.)
