The love for your mate, child, best friend, pet, even the neighbour who has always been there when you needed support, these people mean something special to you. You could buy chocolates or order flowers but Etsy offers you a handcrafted way to express your gratitude, love and appreciation.
You could spend days shopping Etsy Canada’s stores but I’ve made it easier for you with a few of my favourite handmade picks for the special people in your life.
Get the kids dressed up with Eva and Dell’s fashionable neckties and Catch That Rainbow’s retro looking hair clips or have them make their own Valentine’s Day bouquets with Fidoodle’s Florist Wooden Blocks.

Treat your partner with Thunder Peep’s secret Valentine note in a jacket pocket or lunch bag. Some are sweet and others a little sexy. Celebrate your romance with your initials carved into a tree like Sew Tara’s personalized tree love cup cozy or how you fit so well together with Taylord Metals hand-stamped keychain set.
Enjoy a bottle of wine embellished with Dos Besos Design’s chalkboard label or savour some homemade chocolate with a DIY Chocolate Kit. Give your friend a friend in the form of Raw Creatures sock hedgehog with tiny card.
Add a little romantic style to your home or a gift for another’s home with items such as Cherie Coquette’s small heart bowl, Kelly’s Magnets wine charms or Classic By Nature’s hugs and kisses pillow.
Our pets love us unconditionally so why not give them a treat in return. Have a dog in your home? Festoon them with Pet Gifter’s heart bandana. Cat or dog can wear their heart on their collar with Mili Tag a Pet’s personalized tags. My cats would melt with Cats R Us Boutique’s natural wood catnip hearts.
Reminding others that you are thinking of them is lovely but don’t forget yourself. Try a little spa treatment with Body Treats Home Spa candied flower bath bomb followed by a little rest wearing ohhhlulu’s flannel sleepmask. I love the playfulness of Mol Gift’s LEGO heart pendant.
Anyone I’ve missed on your Valentine list?
I love Etsy. Every holiday or special occasion, I always get the hubby a little something from there.
I must admit Freda, it’s one of my favourite shopping spots too. So many great ideas.
