motivos cursis
Cute is being used in a pejorative sense here, so this came to mind.

Comment: "Al final me quedo con ésta, especialmente porque, en este contexto, como dice Aceavila, por el tono peyorativo de la frase queda mejor "cursi" que "mono" o "simpático".
Muchísimas gracias a todos!!"

motivos simpáticos y tiernos
Si se trata de los motivos que a menudo aparecen en los muebles para los más chiquitos, podría marchar. "Motivos" se usa habitualmente con esa acepción. ¡Suerte!
