Known for her quirky felt creations, artist Tina Waltke made these fun gift sets for Valentine's Day that are far from the ordinary. They come in a [heart-shaped box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartshaped-chocolate-tins), packaged like [traditional Valentine's chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardners-candies), but once opened, an adorably silly surprise awaits. Felted eyeballs with the words "I only have eyes for you" are a sweet and sentimental gift that will last way longer than candy or roses. The 'Zombie Valentine Set' says "Valentine please be mine" and includes hilarious little monster balls and a red felt heart. For an unusual Valentine gift, think inside the box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Unconventional Valentine's Gifts:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create and market unusual Valentine's Day gifts that go beyond the traditional chocolates and flowers. - **Quirky Felt Creations:** The trend of creating unique felt creations opens up possibilities for innovative gift options in various occasions. ### Who This Affects Most - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can explore the market for unconventional Valentine's Day gifts, delivering unique experiences to customers. - **Art and Crafts:** The art and crafts industry has the potential to capitalize on the trend of creating quirky felt creations to provide customers with unique gift options. - **Gift and Novelty:** The gift and novelty industry can develop a range of sentimental and lasting gifts for various occasions, appealing to consumers looking for unique and meaningful items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Handmade Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladies-you-love-valentines-day-set.md) - [Sparkly Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitter-n-gold-valentines-day-set.md) - [Valentine's Beef Jerky Hearts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meathearts.md) - [Practical Valentine’s Day Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-card-bath-bar.md) - [Naughty Valentines Day Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-wood.md) - [Dog-Friendly Valentine's Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-selection-box.md) - [Love-Inspired Date Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/date-night-in-valentines-day-set.md) - [Cozy Valentines Day Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warm-the-heart-valentines-day-set.md) - [Cherry-Beet Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeting-heart.md)
