      Valentines Day. Some love it, some hate it, and others just don’t give a damn.
So what is love? I don’t want to, so I’m not going to, try to answer this unanswerable question, because love is an intangible thing that everyone feels, but experiences differently throughout their entire lives…however I will present to you via beautiful, clever, quirky, and just plain nice handmade gifts (yes I am totally playing into the commercial/consumerism nature of valentines day, condemn me now) a few different kinds of love.
