Valentines Day Gifts: Artisan Handmade or Designed - Week 1, 2026

Posted January 15, 2026

 
 

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, February 14, almost a month away.  With that in mind, a collection of wonderful Valentine's Day gifts were pulled together.  Each week for the next four weeks, a blog will be posted on the site of Shadow Dog Designs to share the artisan handmade / designed beauties that were posted to an Inlinkz.  There are plenty of Valentine's Day themed items, but also ones that are not so distinctly traditional Valentine's gifts.  Many can be worn / used all year long.  If something catches your eye, be sure to click either the photo or the description below to be taken to the artistan's shop.  To see all of the gift ideas in one place, be sure to click this link: Valentines Day Gifts: Artisan Handmade or Designed - 2026.  All of the gifts shared here were created by small business owners.  Be sure to SHOP SMALL this Valentine's Day and support an idie business.  We will certainly appreciate that!
