Because gifts on Etsy are amazing, handmade or vintage and often personalized. So it is hard to go wrong. Here is Etsy’s Valentine’s Guide!



Heated Vest

If you have a cold hands warm heart girl…this is the gift for her. I was actually given one by Santa this year and I live in it. It is amazing. I now know what it feels like to be warm. You just charge the battery and it lasts about 8 hours on high and longer on lower heat. High is pretty warm so most likely it won’t be on that setting for 8 hours. Here is the link and yup it’s amazing! Heated Vest for Women run $99. – $119.98
