Valentines Day was not invented by Hallmark.

My husband refuses to acknowledge Sweetest day, as he says it’s a commercial holiday invented by corporations to sell stuff. I’ll give him that…but Valentines Day has a place in history so I say it’s legit. With that in mind do you have a honey you want to find something for this year? Why not go handmade and heartfelt instead of buying some mass produced product. The following items might give you a few ideas to get you started (Many are from local Clevelanders!):

You can avoid the mass produced cards and give something that has some sentiment with a handmade love note…from “Handmade” They’re quite lovely and you can even buy a set of three.
