Is it important that your jewelry means something? Designer Jackie Kaufman creates pieces with the imprint of two fingerprints on a heart. Once you place your order, she will send you a simple mold making kit to get your fingerprints. Then she casts them in sterling silver and engraves your name on the back. Unique and thoughtful, these necklaces would make great great gifts for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and other occasions. The necklace costs $99.99 (including the molding). For more information or to order, click here for Kaufman's Etsy shop.

The Brooklyn-based indie designer's latest collection of stylish winter must-haves are handmade from 100% Peruvian Highland wool (meaning their deliciously soft) and come in three distinct styles: cowl, lapel, and tube. Customize your pick with heart-shaped or round buttons and choose from nine different colors. Each scarf retails for $159, but it's a worthy investment. I mean, would you ever actually want to take it off?
