Art Shark Designs, over at Etsy, has some wonderful, limited edition City Love, gocco prints that fit the bill for a great present at anytime of the year, but I think they’re especially well-suited for Valentine’s Day. Not only are they affordable, at only $15.00, but each print is one of a kind! These are hand printed from an original illustration and then the red umbrellas are individually painted with watercolor by artist Megan Nolton. You can view the entire collection by clicking here but below are some of my favorites.



If you are on a budget, just getting one of these prints is a great gift. Of course, a city you live in or close to makes a nice present, but I like it even better to remind your sweetheart of a special trip or memory that the two of you have shared.

Would you like to give a present that has more impact? A few of these prints that feature cities that are important to you can be displayed together in a collage frame, perhaps with some black-and-white photos of the two of you in those cities incorporated into the mix.

To go truly overboard, buy a print of the city that you want to visit with your Valentine and give your sweetie a City Love print as a prelude to the bigger present of a romantic trip for two to that special place.

To complete the present, wrap nicely! You could simply wrap it in kraft paper (like this: Kraft Paper- Brown 37.5 Square) with a classy red bow (organza ribbon like this would be perfect: Sheer Organza Ribbon Mono Edge – 1.5). This kind of gift wrap would look great and hint at what is inside; wonderful, eye-pleasing simplicity with a splash of color.
