iStockphoto.com
Love is in the air, and we're not just talking romance—Valentine’s Day is a great time to celebrate all of the loves of your life. Whether you're shopping for your bestie, your mom or your significant other, putting extra thought into a personalized gift goes a long way.
We've curated a collection of personalized Valentine’s Day gifts that support small Canadian businesses, all available on Etsy. (And they're not just great for Valentine’s—many would make lovely wedding, anniversary or Mother's Day gifts, too.) One caveat: Be sure to put these in your cart ASAP, as personalized orders take longer to ship.
