Valentines Day Gift Ideas and Lanyards

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, how do you spend Valentine's Day?  And what do you spend money on?  Well, according to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, most people spend their money on cards, flowers and/or dining out. And there's jewelry - which actually accounted for about 17% of all Valentines gifts.

In fact, Valentine's Day ranks second behind the big Holidays Christmas, Hannukkah and Kwanzaa.  What are some of the popular trends for jewelry now?  Well, you can't go wrong with anything personalized.  Etsy has lots of hand stamped personalized items ranging from necklaces, bracelets, key rings and more.  Here are some great examples I found on Etsy:

Heart Necklace from MoodiChic
Personalized Initial Heart Necklace from CuteAbility
Personalized Initial Heart Necklace from LaSenada

And there are tons more - just browse through Etsy and search for personalized heart jewelry.

Another idea is to give something that is not only pretty but useful.  Here are some great Valentine's Day gift ideas from my Eyeglass Chain of Hearts Collection:

Black & White Chain of Hearts ID-Badge Lanyard

Antique Gold Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Necklace

Red & Black Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Leash

All of the designs above can be made in any of three styles:

• Necklace with loop
• Leash style
• Id-Badge lanyard

I can also do custom designs - contact me for more info!  And visit my Etsy shop to see these and all my lanyards!
