I know Valentine’s Day gifts doesn’t necessarily have to be love or heart-themed but this year I’m feeling especially corny (totally out of character, I know)! I’ve drummed up ten awesome locally available lurrve-inspired products that could make excellent Valentine’s Day gifts for your special someone (that is, if you haven’t gone with our edible V-Day gift ideas). Actually, these quirky pieces would be great gifts no matter what the season… I wouldn’t mind receiving one or two myself!
