I’ve already shared ideas for classroom and kiddo Valentine treats, but here’s a curated roundup of small business Valentine’s Day gifts that caught my eye. We tend to keep things simple and food-focused at our house, but there are lots of thoughtful and fun options here for partners, friends, or anyone you want to celebrate.
Some of these sellers are local to Los Angeles, and most ship nationwide or worldwide.
