Valentine's Day is almost here and if you're stuck on what to buy for your Valentine or Galentine, I can help you!  Chocolates, jewelry, and flowers are nice.  But maybe you want to think out-of-the-box this year.  Lucky for you, you just so happen to know a girl who's crafted a few special items for this lovefest of a holiday.  Me!

Within the last month or so, I've added quite a few items to my shop - several with a Valentine's Day theme.  While I think that any of the items in my shop would make an excellent gift, I'm going to share a few that have Valentine's Day written all over them!  Think pink, red, and rosy!

Plus, when you shop my items, you'll be giving someone a special handmade product that's - like my shop banner says - "made with love from our home to yours."  Each item in my shop has been personally prepared and packaged by me.

Unique Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Many of these items are made with garden grown herbs and flowers or sourced from local farms and .  So you're not only giving someone a special handmade gift, you're giving them a touch of nature, too.

Love Song Simmer Pot Kit

The first Valentine's Day item I want to share is my limited edition simmer pot kit.  Love Song is a romantic and fragrant blend of dried apples, cloves, lavender, rose petals, and cinnamon sticks.  Not only does it smell lovely, it looks pretty in its package.  Perfect for gift giving!

The Dragonfly Inn Simmer Pot Kit wasn't made with Valentine's Day in mind.  In fact, if you're a Gilmore Girls fan, you probably recognize the name of this kit.  But since dried rose petals are included in this simmer pot fragrance blend, it's also a lovely gift for Valentine's Day.

Dried Lavender Fragrance Sachet

Let's switch things up and talk about fragrance sachets.  My collection of sachets are made with a blend of rice, dried botanicals, and essential oil.  They're packaged in a muslin cloth bag stamped with a natural design.

The Dried Lavender Fragrance Sachet was one of my best sellers over the holiday season and for good reason!  It smells amazing!  Tuck this calming sachet in a drawer, closet, bag, or car.

Once I saw how loved the lavender sachet was, I decided to include a few other different scents to my collection.  The Dried Rose Petals Fragrance Sachet is a perfect gift for Valentine's Day!  It smells gorgeous and the bag is stamped with an adorable butterfly print.

Rose Petal Bath Soak Salts

Another item that was popular during the holiday season was my bath salts.  If you're putting together a self-care themed gift, the Rose Petal Bath Soak Salts are a great item to add!

These bath salts are made with a floral and relaxing blend of Epsom salt, sea salt, dried rose petals, and palmarosa essential oil.  The salts smell gorgeous!  They're perfect for a romantic bath for two or just unwinding at the end of the evening.
