Love it or hate it, there’s no denying it: Valentine’s Day is coming up. With just a few more weeks to go before the annual love-fest sends Cupid on his dizzying whirlwind flight of feelings, you might be at a little bit of a loss as to what you might want to give as a token to your loved ones. Whether romantic or familial, your loves can be celebrated with gifts a little cooler than a heart-shaped box of chocolates from the gas station that just screams “last minute”:
3D printing is pretty cool, and while it’s certainly making a splash across headlines, there’s still something infinitely novel and distinctly cool about receiving a 3D printed gift. It’s more personal than a mass produced made-in-China teddy bear, that’s for sure. And to make it even more accessible, Cubify, a 3D Systems’ company, is offering free shipping on select Valentine’s gifts with the coupon code “love3D,” which should be pretty easy to remember.
In the Gift Guide are some fun suggestions for anyone you might want to gift a little token of love to this Valentines Day. The guide includes a section “for her,” “for him,” “for the kids,” DIY 3D printing projects, and even gift cards if you think your loved one is harder to shop for.

These Valentine’s Day gifts have a nice variety, spanning interests and tastes for pretty much everyone. While I love the blazing ukelele, I don’t have my own 3D printer (at least, not yet…), so I think I’ll have to stick to the pre-made ones — thank goodness for free shipping for some of Cubify’s fun collections! And if my fiancé is reading this… I love the Swan pendant. Just putting it out there.
What about you? Do any of these Valentine’s Day collections strike your fancy, as either something you’d want or might purchase for your significant other, child, or friend?
