This lens has a few ideas for really special and whimsical gifts for kids this Valentines Day. Enjoy!

Custom Silhouette Pendants

Turn a Profile Into a Gift

Custom Silhouette PendantsA beautiful throwback to days gone by. If you love all things vintage than you will love these Custom Silhouette Pendants that you can personalize for your Valentine.

They are one of a kind sihouette pendant necklaces by Whitney Phippen. Whitney will lovingly turn your child (or significant other, pet etc.), young or old, into a stylish, keepsake pendant for you to love and cherish. All we need is a profile photo.

Antique drapery rings make the frames. The image is coated with a thin layer of resin to protect your loved one and the back is covered with decorative paper such as antique sheet music, book pages, and beautiful prints. Your pendant will come on an 18 inch antique-finish ball chain that you can easily shorten if you wish.

Wearing this beautiful art will be a conversation starter and a source of envious glances.

Five Car Wooden Train

With the handsome looks of a folk art toy, this train set is made for lots of hands on play, and is sure to be passed down to the next generation. Every kid, young or old, loves a train! This one is carefully hand made of local hardwoods by a California toy maker, who made his first toy train for his sons many Christmases ago. It is painted with milk paint, a non toxic paint that has been around since Colonial times, and has no metal or plastic parts. Natural, safe, and loads of fun!
Start with the Engine and Tender, adding train cars over time, or get the whole set at once.

Vintage Japanese Hair Clips

Vintage Japanese Hair ClipsThese hair clips are hand-crafted from vintage Japanese silk kimonos and are shaped as "ume" or Japanese plum blossoms. Plum blossoms are a favorite motif in Japan representing early springtime. Each hair clip is one-of-a-kind.

These Hair Clips would be lovely along with a Kimono, which is the traditional dress of Japan, still worn today on special occasions. The making of a kimono is extremely labor-intensive. Only the finest silk is chosen to be carefully hand dyed and embroidered.

Clothing colors will vary. Inspired by the cute little felt board stories the artist remembers her grandma making for her nursery school students.

Tiny Tin Tea Set

Remove the rudder if you feel your toddler may break it. Wood is finished with natural Tung and Orange oils. Boat is 8 inches wide and 7 inches tall.

A Sweet Petticoat
