Shelley Hanmo Qian, owner of Junonia Arts, is a trained concert pianist who began working as a self-taught paper artist during the pandemic—and her work is absolutely jaw-dropping. Among her many talents, she can create custom portraits from paper, and we think that whether you’ve been with your partner for five years or twenty, her outstanding artwork is sure to make your Valentine feel extra special.

Junonia Arts Custom Paper Collage, $45 and up at Etsy.com.

Instead of your typical bouquet of flowers, consider this “Double Heart Hoya” potted plant from Buffy Layton’s Crown and Cloth Flower Company. Not only unique in appearance, the heart-shaped plant needs very little care and minimal water, and you can also order it nestled in one of Layton’s fabulous gift boxes.
