Valentine’s Day gifts can be tough. Do you go for the usual dozen roses and chocolates? Or would you rather find something… more personal? Heart-shaped jewelry is great, but with Shapeways, there\u2019s no reason not to take it up a notch. After all, the best thing about gifts is the feeling of giving something you just know the receiver will love. And, the best thing about 3D printing is that you can find and create some of the most unique, custom, and personalizable gifts out there. Here are a few easy apps<\/a> that let you truly create gifts that will speak directly to your love\u2019s unique qualities. So, with the help of the talented designers behind these incredible apps, read on to find out how to make the most meaningful, beautiful Valentine\u2019s Day gifts.<\/p>\n

Ciphering<\/h3>\n

\"cipher\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ciphering<\/a> lets you create a personalized ring unlike any other. Its physical form encodes numbers of your choosing. The ring itself looks decorated in a Morse code-like pattern, but really, it’s a message! The secret message only becomes visible only when you take the ring off your finger and either shine light, or look directly through it. The information you input is fed to an algorithm that generates the unique shape.\u00a0You can also add engraved initials on the inside of the band.<\/p>\n

\"Ciphering-18c4bd67\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Create a piece with an anniversary, birthday, or other special date \u2013 or initials. Tell us you’ve ever seen anything like this!<\/p>\n

Twine Jewelry<\/h3>\n

\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps your valentine prefers necklaces. Never fear. Twine Jewelry<\/a> lets you create a unique piece that allows you to combine two names into one lovely pendant, adding a big dose of wow factor to an already gorgeous gift. Available in a variety of materials, this pendant doesn\u2019t break the bank when printed as a fun and colorful accessory, or you could print it in gold to show your love that you\u2019ll be together forever.<\/p>\n

Custom Pendant Creator<\/h3>\n

\"pasted<\/a><\/p>\n

The Custom Pendant Creator<\/a> allows you to fully jump in and make your own piece. Simply draw an image on paper, take a photo (or find one online), and upload it in the Custom Pendant Creator app. Magically, you\u2019ll see your design appear in 3D! Use the tools to adjust settings like size and softness of detail, and add a bail for the final pendant touch! Warning: this app is incredibly addictive. Print in colorful plastic or a lovely rose gold \u2013 you decide \u2013 to make this gift 100% personalized.<\/p>\n
