Valentine’s day is a bit overrated for me, but I’ll pass on a bit of a secret: you see, this is the time of the year where everything about love \u2013 cards, books, scarves, prints, anything and everything really \u2013 is produced in droves. The trick is to get something absolutely gooey and lovey-dovey, and send it to your love anytime BUT<\/span> Valentine’s day. <\/p>\n

Or better yet, get TWO<\/span> gifts; one for Valentines, and another for random days when you severely need to say sorry (this happens more often that you think!)<\/p>\n

So here’s my round-up of things that I’ve seen and liked, which can be used all day round (and not just on Valentine’s Day) because it doesn’t specifically say so:<\/p>\n

\"Claudia<\/a><\/p>\n

Claudia Pearson’s Wake up tea towel<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Keeki\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Gemma<\/a><\/p>\n

I Like You art print<\/a> by Gemma Correll<\/p>\n

\"20x200\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Map of the Open Country of a Woman’s Heart<\/a> by D.W. Kellogg & Co. over at 20×200<\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s my absolute favorite: Other People’s Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See<\/a> by Bill Shapiro<\/p>\n

And of course, nothing beats a hand-made love letter. If you need some advice on how to pull it off, here’s a helpful but cringe-worthy how-to over at e-How<\/a>.<\/p>\n
