Each year on February 14th, players logging on to Webkinz World receive a special holiday gift. These gifts typically include an Object and two holiday Foods. They started awarding Valentine's Gifts in 2007.

==Valentine Cards==
For many years, Ganz sent every account in Webkinz a Valentine Card. These messages all arrived on Valentine's Day, and were seen by accessing your Kinzpost Mailbox.
==Cinnamon's Collections==

A new Valentine feature was added to Webkinz World in 2011. From February 7th to February 14th, players searched for Cinnamon the Hamster in Kinzville Park. Cinnamon gave out one rose, each a different color, in a vase each day. Players that collected all five roses from Kinzville Park in addition to the Red Rose from Webkinz Newz received the grand prize, a Be My Valentine Bouquet.
A Valentine themed event featuring [[Cinnamon Hamster]] did not occur in 2012. In 2013 Cinnamon returned with a new event, a Chocolate Collection, which has occurred annually since 2013.
Pictures of these items can be found on [[(Picture Guide) Kinzville Park#Cinnamon's Chocolate Collection]]
==Valentines Collection==
[[File:Valentinecollectible.png]]<br>
In 2015, Ganz started a different type of Collection for Valentine's Day. In addition to [[Cinnamon's Collections|Cinnamon's Chocolate Collection]] a new collection event was added. Throughout the month of February, players could ask their friends for Valentines and win prizes for each set number of Valentines collected. The collection could be completed as many times as the player wanted throughout the month of February. In 2016, the event returned for the same duration, but this time featured different collection prizes.
==Seasonal wShop==
[[File:Cinnamonhearts.png]]<br>There have been only a few seasonal items for Valentine's day in the wShop. The first was the Cinnamon Hearts. The Cinnamon Hearts were sold in the wShop in February 2007 and 2008, but not in 2009. The Cinnamon Hearts have also been included in the Valentine Gift Bags for 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.

In February 2011, Ganz added a Valentine's Day House Party Pack and a Clubhouse Party Pack. Party Packs were officially retired in 2020.

==History of the Love Kitten==
[[File:Quizzy February 2008.png|center|350px]]<br>
The rumors of a Love Kitten date back to February 2008 when a picture of a cat covered in hearts (shown above) appeared in Quizzy's Calendar Trivia.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080222141212/http://www.webkinzinsider.com:80/</ref> There was lots of speculation by Webkinz players on what this picture might mean, but none of it was confirmed by Ganz.
Due to a glitch in the Ganz eStore on June 4th, 2008, several items were made visible that were not supposed to be offered for sale. One of those items was a Love Kitten that was marked "Out of Stock" and unable to be purchased. Ganz quickly fixed the glitch, but not before word had spread through the online Webkinz community.[2][3]
Shortly after correcting the glitch, Ganz contacted Webkinz Insider to request that the front page story showing pictures of the items be removed. Ganz also asked WI to "make it clear that those items are not available, will not be available soon, and may never be available."[4]
In 2010, two years after the Love Kitten first appeared in Quizzy's Calendar, Ganz finally offered it for sale in the Ganz eStore.

==Accessories==

For 2010, Ganz released a Love Frog KinzKlip. The KinzKlip came as a package deal attached to a Webkinz Love Frog. Like all other KinzKlips, this item's feature code gives players access to Zumwhere.
In 2011, Ganz released a Mazin' Hamster named "Cinnamon" and a Love Puppy KinzKlip.
==My Page Badge==
[[File:Lovetogivebadge.png|center]]<br>
On Valentine's Day 2009 a new [[Badges|Badge]] was introduced to Webkinz. To receive this badge, players had to send a KinzPost message on February 14th with a heart sticker on the message. This badge is believed to be inactive, as players report no longer receiving the badge when meeting the qualifiers.
