Valentines Day Gifts: Artisan Handmade or Designed - 2026

Welcome to the Valentine's Day 2026 promo!  This Valentine's promo will help build those all important back links to your shop.  It's a bit different from most of the Countdowns we all have done.  We'll be concentrating on only 4 items from each participant.  Items don't necessarily have to be hearts and cupids and things like that.  They can also be items in pink, red . . . . or whatever you think will be a great Valentine's gift.  Be sure to choose 4 favorite items that you really, really, really want to establish a lot of back links to so they can be found more easily on Google once the Valentine's rush is on. 

If you want to join in the Valentine's promo, here's what to do:  

InLinkz, Jan 9-11 - Leave 4 items on the on InLinkz below.  Promote every item on at least 2 social media sites, promote the InLinkz and leave a comment.  The InLinkz closes at 11:00 p.m. MST this Sunday, Jan 11.   Feel free to scatter the promo out over the week but be sure to promote them all.  

For each week of the promo, everyone promotes each item on that week's blog on at least 2 social media sites, promotes the blog and leaves a blog comment.  Feel free to scatter the promo out over the week.
