Love is in the Air! - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade - February 3, 2016

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, it seems where ever you go these days, "Love is in the Air"  with all the massive displays of Valentine's cards, chocolates, stuffed animals and such.  Last year the total retail expenditure for Valentine's Day was a whopping $18.9 billion.  Yes, that is with a "B" - a record for sales.  It was estimated that the average person celebrating February 14 shelled out $142.31.  Men spent about $100 more on gifts than women:  $190.53 vs. $96.58.  Candy, flowers and jewelry are the three most popular gifts.  Interestingly, about 20% of people bought a Valentine's gift for their pet!

With all that in mind, I decided to do another Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade focusing on great gifts for Valentine's Day, many of which are one of a kind creations.  Some of these gift ideas are more traditional . . . and some are not.  Rest assured, any one of these will delight a loved one!  BUY HANDMADE!
