Anatomical Hearts, Sacred Hearts, Tattoo Hearts, Sad Hearts, Hallmark Hearts.... Valentine's Day is made for every kind of heart. We tend to have more of the scientifically accurate variety of heart, perfect for gifting to doctors, romantics and the goth-ically inclined. But, we love them all. For being an independently owned business, this Hallmark Holiday is always a bit of a head-scratcher to navigate. Love is love. We can't pass up a chance to try and participate in spreading it. Here are a few of our favorite HEART THEMED, VALENITE'S DAY GIFT IDEAS
MILAGRO SACRED HEARTS
A popular form of ex-voto is the milagro, Spanish for “miracle.” Milagros can come in all kinds of shapes and materials, though most are made of metal. Many depict specific objects, such as parts of the body, symbolizing the nature of the answered prayer or healing request. Visitors often leave these charms at shrines as votive offerings after healings; however, milagros also can be purchased and kept for personal devotion. We offer a collection of, both large and small, pressed metal sacred hearts madre with or without mirror. Designed for easy wall mounting with one nail.
GLASS HEART ORNAMENTS
Heart-shaped glass ornaments measuring 4.5" tall with multiple raised-relief painted eyes with rhinestones tears. Three color options available.
ROSE QUARTZ
Love, gentleness, emotional healing, release of stress, uniting with the Divine
Rose Quartz is the quintessential stone of love--love for oneself, one's life partner, children, family, friends, community, the Earth, the Universe and the Divine. Meditating with one of these stones pro- vides an envelope of love energy around oneself and activates the heart chakra for the emanation of one’s innate love. When one is truly experiencing love, one is not thinking about giving and receiving, because the lover and the beloved have become one. Rose Quartz helps dissolve one's boundaries of isolation and mistrust and moves one into the sense of union with the All that is the essence at the core of the heart.
