The Etsy Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

the best diy and handmade gifts for your sweetheart

Valentine’s Day is exactly one week away, and let’s face it, not all of our special someones are the cheesy drugstore card/box of chocolates type. When it comes to choosing the right gift, we’re looking for something out of the ordinary—something unique. That's when we turn to Etsy, the DIY and handmade mecca of the Internet where you can find a homemade, sometimes quirky version of just about anything.

After some serious digging, we found the best of the best when it comes to gifts for your honey. From chocolates, to the ultimate Netflix and chill blanket, to sexy-time supplies, we rounded up the coolest—and of course, most thoughtful—gifts for him or her, because nothing says “I love you” like handmade, even if you didn’t make it yourself.
