February is the time for hearts and flowers and lots of love. It can also be a time to give or receive something out of the box which makes you smile and get the sweetest of reactions. These are some that do it for me. Please remember that kissin’ don’t last but ceramics do!
Relpo Valentine Beautiful Girl Planter or Vase
Just look at that oversized ruffly bonnet topped with a red heart that matches her dress bodice. So cute! Use her to hold fresh flowers or make up a permanent faux flowers and greens arrangement that will keep her in your heart or hearts forever. She is not so terribly kitschy until you realize she has ceramic spaghetti just inside her ruffled skirt and of course her bonnet. She can be yours for $399 from PeppermintPattyCakes store on Etsy.
1960s Norleans Kissing Couple
Sigh! This flower power duo is ready to pucker up, buttercup. He’s wearing his love beads and a diminutive newsboy cap and she has a pink mini dress. Maybe this is their first kiss. I hope so. Do you remember yours? Of course, you do, whether it was magical or awkward. It was a step in the right direction to finding your soul mate. TheLogChateau on Etsy is offering this duo for $69.99.
Kitschy Sweet Valentine for the Wife
Who can ask for more from a hubby to have his adoration and kisses galore? Why he didn’t need cupid’s arrow. This utterly charming mid century postcard is fit for a queen…the queen of your heart! NeatoKeen has this in her Etsy shop ready for you for $12.
Anthropomorphic Kissing Fishes Salt and Pepper Shakers
Spice up your dishes with salt and pepper kissing fishes! Creatures wearing hats are so kitschy! These two are ready to go out to celebrate Valentine’s Day, get married or hang around your kitchen! Soooo much fun and available on DPETERSCOLLECTIBLES on Etsy for $56. They are sure to swim into your life.
Kissing Valentine Devils Boy & Girl Salt and Pepper Shakers
These are so kitschy sweet! They are wearing their hearts on their tails instead of their sleeves and are ready to plant one on each other. Talk about spicy! what perfect decorations on a February cake. Of course it would need to be devil’s food…If you yearn for these TheVintagePitbull on Etsy would be happy to sell them for $275. Hot Stuff!
I hope you liked this kissy kitschy collection and that it made you smile. Happy February!

Mary Ellen, thank you for including my pair of Kissing Fish. They are a romantic couple regardless of the time of year. I guess you could say they’re timeless! Cheers, David
