Every year when Valentine's Day gets near, we all begin to see the candy hearts, the cards, the balloons and of course, the flowers, take over any every store. Valentine's Day is actually one of my favorite holiday's- and I'm especially loving that "Valloween" is becoming a thing.

But while I love seeing all the gifts at the stores one of my favorite things ever is seeing all the local vendors hustling on the streets of El Paso selling roses, balloons and all kinds of gifts for Valentine's Day. You know which ones I'm talking about!

These vendors set up on a busy street corner and sell some of the most unique gifts you'll find; these are the kind of gifts that you know you won't find in a regular store.

These are gifts that you know are created by hand and with a loving heart.

They may not be the fanciest looking gifts, but you know that these are unique and are given straight from the heart.

Gifts and vendors like these always fill my heart with happiness because my parents used to sell gifts like these! I know the work and dedication that goes into selling these- and I know that everyone who does purchase a gift from these vendors walks away happy and content knowing they've bought a superb gift!

As we get closer to Valentine's day, I encourage everyone to consider buying from these vendors, you'll be supporting local and buying something crafted with love!
