Take Heart with Gifts showing God’s love

BERRYVILLE, Arkansas, Feb. 15– Last minute Valentine’s Day shoppers never fear. The country’s largest Christian apparel company has taken the love theme beyond the traditional emphasis of romance by introducing gifts and apparel that serve as a reminder of God’s passionate love for us. It’s a wonderful message for those who may not have a sweetheart to celebrate with this holiday.

The storybook ending of living happily Forever After gets a twist in the form of a T-shirt or hooded sweatshirt with the message, “I will live happily forever after.” This brown design with script lettering uses John 14:3 to drive home the message that the Bible is not a fairy tale, but accepting Jesus means a happy forever. The shirt comes in sizes S-3X and is available for $17.99. The sweatshirt comes in sizes S-XL for $29.99.

The message of God’s love for us can also be found on a new stainless steel Cherished spinner ring with a message layer that rotates around the inside ring. One message reads: “He Loves Me,” surrounded by two hearts. The rings are non-corrosive and durable and available in sizes 6, 7, 8 and 9. Each ring is available for $9.99.

More subtle images of Christ’s love are available on products that combine a cross inside of a pink heart. The design is available on a stylish, Romans flat top cap for $16.99 and a Razor Armor hard shell cell phone cover designed to fit a Motorola Razr for $12.99.

Total Valentine's Day spending is expected to hit $16.9 billion this year, the National Retail Federation said, with 63% of consumers surveyed saying they plan to celebrate the holiday. And, last-minute shopping is the norm for this holiday with nearly 50% of all Valentine’s Day cards purchased in the six days prior to the holiday.
