by Signify. Location: Venice, Italy

Well it’s nearing Valentine’s Day, so I thought I’d showcase a photo from one of the most romantic places on earth – Venice. And normally I don’t recognize the holiday because it just seems to have the opposite effect of what’s being celebrated. Something just feels so unromantic to me when every other couple is celebrating their love on the same day. So Ryan and I like to cheat the system and go against the norm by celebrating on the 13th – our dating anniversary. It works for us!

Anyway, for the special day I wanted to share some links reflecting my favorite kind of design in honor of love – packaging design. So of course thanks to thedieline.com, here are the finds for this week!

• To kick things off, these printable love coupon matchbooks, chocolate wrappers and tea bag cosies are super pretty and appropriate for the special day, or any other romantic time.
• San Fran beer packaging – love the city, love the look. Did I say love yet?
• Minimalistic design and economic, too.
• Speaking of economic, check out these cool school supplies.
• Perfect – ABC paper cups for the typography lover and party planner.
• Tea packaging is among the most interesting and beautiful design, and same goes for alcohol.
• Lovely letterpress wedding invitations.
• Not necessarily packaging, but I think this set of collages is very romantical.
• Okay, and I could not resist sharing this link even though it’s not packaging design or romantic, but it is another one of my favorite things – a delightful type mobile.

Happy day of love!
