VALENTINE'S DAY: cute and untraditional ideas

We don't celebrate the holiday on a very large scale, but if we did, here are some gifts and decorations I would be sure to use.  I've found all these on Etsy and so they are all handmade items.  They are not your typical, run of the mill items, but more of a fresh take on the holiday.  My pet peave with V-Day is that I don't want to gain weight or have to throw flowers out in 3 days so there's nothing edible in these picks and the flowers will last forever! Some are very modern, some more unconventional, some for children, some for funny valentines, others quirky but I'm sure everyone can find something they love for the ones they love, or even for themselves.  Enjoy!
