In Our Lover Era

Taylor’s body of work is the perfect playground for designing standout Valentine’s Day merch. 

Her Lover and Red albums embody the aesthetic. Her lyrics about romance are both empowering and gut-wrenching. Girly staples like friendship bracelets and red lipstick are tied to her image.

These themed designs would look great on all kinds of merch products. We love a good cropped hoodie for the season. One of the latest jewels of our assortment: The heart handle mug. Literally the perfect merch Valentine’s Day gift!

There’s limitless potential when it comes to making merch in the world of T Swift. And it’s more than T-shirts - it’s an opportunity to connect with an engaged community. 

The Swifities are one of the biggest fandoms in the world. You can make merch for your closest friends right now, but think about how you can tap into this huge market in the future. Themed drops based on new songs, re-releases, Chief’s game appearances - the list is endless.

We Love Our Furry Friends


Practically everyone has a soft spot for a furry friend in their life. 97% of pet owners consider their pets a member of the family.

This means including them in all holiday cards, taking them in tow to local breweries and restaurants, creating Instagram accounts for them. 

Valentine’s Day is the ultimate lovey dovey holiday for you to share your love for your pet with the world. Make designs using photos of your and your loved ones' pets. Use insider references and make fun of silly behavior only they would know and appreciate.

Merch designs like these ones are the most special for Valentine’s Day. It’s that attention to detail that really makes all the difference.

Want to make merch that pets can actually wear? We have cute bandanas that are great accessories for both dogs and cats. They deserve to wear fun custom merch, too!

Cutesy Cowgirl Vibes

Cowgirls are having a moment right now. Beyonce finally won Album of the Year at The Grammy’s with the genre-defying, history-making, Cowboy Carter. Chappell Roan went full-blown country and hinted at her next era with a viral Saturday Night Live performance.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to capitalize on this trend. Take cowboy hats, boots, ropes, lassos - you name it - and make them cutesy with red and pink color ways and hearts galore.

Design sites like Canva have an endless pool of inspo for your merch designs. There’s no shortage of options that will look great on all kinds of merch - sweatshirts, water bottles, stickers, etc.

Can’t Go Wrong With Classics

We all know what the typical Valentine’s Day designs consist of - hearts, candies, flowers. They’re classics for a reason. Year after year you can find these designs on all types of apparel, like custom merch.

Your family, friends, or followers will love these timeless designs and be able to wear them all year. Even merch that might feel seasonal. We’re gonna keep pushing this heart handle mug because it’s just TOO CUTE!

You’re Funny, Valentine

Humor is essential when creating memorable merch. Your designs need to say something, and pun-based designs are the best way to do that.

Give your designs a Valentine’s Day spin with cute characters or mushy phrases. The bee design above with the quote “we bee-long together” - we’re obsessed. These simple but fun designs look great on all kinds of merch, particularly accessories.

Imagine these designs on bucket hats and tote bags. These are great merch items that will make for practical Valentine’s Day gifts. Your family and friends will be using these items on the daily and be reminded of your thoughtfulness with each use.
