Valentine's Day isn't just for lovers, it's a day to celebrate all the love in your life, from your kids to your parents or siblings to your best friends.

We've included gifts for her, for him, for kids and for besties. Of course, gifts don't have to be gender specific—they can work for everyone!

‌Who It's For:‌ Designers on Etsy offer gifts for all age groups. You can buy personalized gifts (or non-personalized gifts) for everyone, including babies, toddlers, kids, teens, grown-ups and beyond.

‌Type of Gift:‌ Etsy has a gigantic, diverse selection of gifts. You can find everything from puzzles to apparel and sensory kits for kids to jewelry to gift baskets to artwork. If you haven't pinpointed the type of gift you want to get your loved one, consider making a list of their interests—even if it's just mentally, and especially if you're buying gifts for several people. That way, when you come across something that would be great for that person, you'll know right away.

‌Budget:‌ When it comes to Valentine's Day gifts (or any gifts), there's no right or wrong amount of money to spend. If you're buying something like jewelry, keep in mind that the cheaper it is, the less likely it is to last forever. Handmade items are so special because they are made with thought and care, so if that's what you're going for, you might need to spend a bit more to ensure your loved one will receive the high-quality item they deserve.
