It's hard to believe today is already February 1. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and while we aren't so fancy on the corporate push to buy something random for someone special - we are definitely all game for buying something unique and special that is handmade. Not only because it supports the many small handmade businesses, but also, because buying handmade is 100% unique and thoughtful. It's not just another box of chocolates off the shelf (sorry to those who love that). So, while we think of Valentine's Day this year, we have pulled some fun Valentine's themed items for all the ages, that will definitely put a smile on the special one's face.

 

Adorn Handcrafted Co creates small batch, thoughtfully crafted, sweetly soft bows, and other adornments - like these cute Valentine's Day print hair clips. Grab a pack to put inside a sweet Valentine's card.

We love when something Valentine's isn't red. We mean red is great - but it's nice to see something different too - like this cute little black heart headband from PinkPeony by Kirsten. So simple yet so fun to add to any outfit.

If food is the way to the heart - than these cake pops from Pretty Witty Sweets are the perfect gift. So many fun sayings. They're all about slightly inappropriate, occasionally offensive, anti-prude custom cookies... and we're loving everyone of them.

Okay, food on a card. Perfection. And if you know the Hong Kong street food bubble waffles - then you'll love this card even more. Actually, Shop Ting and Things has so many fun and playful cards to gift - we wish you luck choosing just one.

YODA one for me. And this pattern listing from Spontaneous Stitches is the perfect purchase to make this cute little embroidery for that special fan. A win win - you get to make something and support the handmade community. Now that's a whole lot of love going around.

We love Valentine's Day, but we hate the pressure of having to support the big box stores with flower, chocolate and diamond purchases. It seems so "ordinary" to us and that why we encourage shopping small and local. It just adds an extra special touch of thought. Plus, who doesn't like something unique that you can't just run into town and get?

So, when this isolation is all lifted and life returns to a new normal, this print will be perfect. The chaos in our lives will resume, and we will just have those far and few moments with those we love, that will remind us that home is really that time spent with them. It's not a dwelling or a place of shelter - it's a feeling you get when you're surrounded and enjoying life with those you love.

We'll stop getting all sentimental and gushy on you. We tend to ramble a little. Before we do anymore, here it is, just click here to download and save or print a copy of the "home is every moment spent with you" print for yourself.

Did you know? We design our free prints on Canva? We are not affiliated or sponsored, but just want to share that it's fun and easy to create your own too. There are free and paid options, we've done a little bit of both. Just design, print at your local print shop (or home) and have it framed for around your home. It's that simple.

Before you go, we just ask one favour in return for the free print - share it with your friends. If you print it and use it, be sure to post it on social media and tag us to let us see. Or, leave a comment below and tell us where you'll definitely be hanging this new fun decor. And if you're "stuck" at home, remember this time of change will soon be changed to a time of chaos and full schedules outside of the home.

We are big on designing our own decor. With many apps and software that can be accessed with computers, tablets and smart phones - it's quite simple to put something together in no time. From birthday invitations, to holiday cards and home decor, we always try and do it ourselves. But where do we get it printed? We love to use Costco or Staples Copy & Print. They offer so many sizes at amazing prices. If you go for staples, we recommend grabbing a heavier stock of paper. You can upload online and have some sizes printed and picked up in the same day.
