Significant others aren’t the only ones who you should celebrate on Valentine’s Day.  Think about all of your other favorite people, like your nieces and nephews too.  Here’s a list of ideas to make sure they know how important they are to you:
 
A Story Before Bed
A gift subscription to AStoryBeforeBed.com will allow you to record yourself reading a storybook online. Then your niece or nephew can access it at all times you can share in bedtime even when you can’t be there.
 
Pajamagram
Everyone loves receiving a package.  How about giving your cutie some comfy cozy pajamas?  Pajamagram.com has sleepwear for all shapes and sizes.
 
Trip to the Planetarium, Zoo or a Sporting Event
Spend the day with your niece or nephew doing something fun together.  These destinations not only serve as a feast for the eyes but will also help you to create lasting memories.
 
Pizza Party
Cooking always brings families together. Plan a pizza making party with your niece or nephew.  Let him or her pick the toppings and work together to make a delicious creation.
 
Volunteer Together
One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is to show him or her how to love.  Volunteering at a soup kitchen, kennel, or nursing home will show your niece or nephew just how important it is to have compassion for people and animals.  It will give you an excuse to hang out with them all day too.
