Some of the best gifts are those that are personalized or custom. This Valentine's Day, don't just buy a gift, create one. CafePress can help you to create custom Hoodies, T-shirts, Paul Frank SIGG Water Bottles, iPhone Cases, iPad Cases, Underwear, Thermoses and more. They are also always adding new products like their new Stadium Blankets and Custom Yoga Mats. I was lucky enough to receive a dark custom zip hoodie.
I decided to create a custom design for myself that reflects my love for Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars. As some of you may already know; they are one of my favorite bands. The last 30 Seconds to Mars concert that I attended was outdoors and I had to cover my T-shirt with a sweatshirt jacket to stay warm. Now, I can just wear my 30 Seconds to Mars custom CafePress Hoodie and be warm while still representing one of my favorite bands. Here is the design I came up with:
The picture (yes, you can use pictures too!) is from when I saw them live in California last September. Then, I placed the bands name, the word "Echelon" (a term for dedicated 30 Seconds to Mars fans), and some of the symbols that represent the band. I was a little worried about the photo because it wasn't the best quality (I had zoomed in to get this picture). CafePress did a wonderful job! The photo looks just like it does on the computer screen (if not better) and the entire design came out perfect. It is also well done. These letters/ photos will not be rubbing off anytime soon.
As for the hoodie itself, it felt a little stiff where the design was when I first received it. I couldn't wait to try it on, so I wore it anyhow. I was really impressed with how soft and comfy it is. The slight stiffness worked itself out after a few wears and I didn't even notice it when the hoodie was on. It does run really big, so I recommend ordering a size smaller than normal. I ordered a size smaller than what I normally get and it was still a little big (which I personally love). The hoodie is 90% preshrunk cotton and 10% polyester.
Want some ideas for Valentine's day hoodies? CafePress has a lot of great designs to inspire you. Here are a couple that I loved:
They even have whole sections devoted to "I Love My Husband" or "I Love My Girlfriend". I think the military one's are particularly sweet since the Wife/Girlfriend can stay warm and think of her soldier while he is away.
I definitely recommend CafePress for hoodies or any photo product you may want. I have received several products from them and they have all been fantastic.

My favorites Valentine's gift? Honestly, a nice dinner out with my husband and maybe a movie is what I love. Simple. With kids, we don;t get out much.

I like the angle wings, or something along those lines. If I won I would get the customized in memory of my twin boys that passed away and wear it to our Walk to Remember.

A fabulous dinner at a French restaurant in Vegas.
My favorite Valentine's Day Gift was Kerby Lane Pancakes. We ate there for our first Valentine's day back in college and they now sell their mixes!

Sad to say I have never gotten a Valentine's gift from anyone other than my Dad or my kids. My fav was the year my dad bought me my own heart-shaped box of chocolates when I was 8. I felt so grown up.

my favorite valentines day that my husband and I had as a couple. It was great I remember it raining and we didn't have a car yet so out he went walking in the rain to get me some flowers. I thought it was so romantic. I didn't ask him to go or anything, he just got up and walked out the door and said he would be right back.

My husband once surprised me on valentines day with a candle lite steak dinner when I had to work late.
Despite knowing that I don't celebrate V-day, my dad used to always send me candy and/or a small plush when I was a teen, which I still appreciated. My favorite gift was this big (probably about 3ft. long) Panda plush holding a heart.
It's hard to say which design I like best. I've purchased so many Cancer t-shirts from CafePress. My husband is a Colon Cancer Servivor

I hate to sound cliche, but my fave V-day gift has got to be candy and flowers. Although the occasional piece of jewelry is awesome! Lol.

My favorite Valentine Day gift was when my husband woke up early and cleaned the snow off my car so I could go in to the office. It was on the weekend and he hates to wake up early.

One of my favorite and most memorable Valentine's Day gifts is when my guy proposed to me! He didn't want to do it on Valentine's Day because he thought it was so cliche, but he did it at the end of the weekend (we had gone on our first out of town trip). It was raining and he knelt in a puddle but it was worth it.

My favorite Valentine gift was a set of heart shape ruby earrings, necklace and bracelet that my husband gave to me the first year that we were dating.
