Heart Paperweight Gifts

Heart Paperweights : Gifts of Heart! Heart Paperweights are Romantic Heart-Felt Gifts for Him and for Her! Why not consider a heart paperweight as a gift? I have been a fan of hearts for quite a few years, well before I created my first lens on hearts in April 2006. I so love hearts!

My favorite heart paperweight just so happens to be a Robert Held Heart Paperweight. It is particularly cool because it actually is heart-shaped and looks like a confetti Murano art glass. The Robert Held Heart Paperweight sits on my home office desk and gives me inspiration every day.

Heart paperweights make great romantic gifts and are especially cool to gift for Christmas and Valentines Day! Give a gift that shows you care. These are the type of gifts that will last a lifetime and be passed down through the family. Why not give a gift that matters? It doesn't cost a lot.

Murano Glass Heart Paperweights


Handmade on the island of Murano, Italy, each of these hearts is one-of-a-kind.

Next, a layer of 18-karat gold foil is applied on top and the glass is mouthblown into a heart shape.

Conversation Hearts : I Love You!

8 billion Sweethearts made per year!

About 8 billion hearts will be produced this year; that’s enough candy to stretch from Rome, Italy to Valentine, Ariz. and back again 20 times.

About 250 billion have been made to date!

How are Sweethearts made?
First sugar, color and other ingredients are mixed together. When the mix feels like dough, it is ready to be made into hearts. Workers pick up the dough and take it to a machine that flattens it.

Another machine stamps a saying like ‘cutie pie’ on it. The same machine also will cut the dough into hearts. The candy drops on a conveyor belt that takes the conversation hearts to a dryer.

Once the candy is dry, it gets mixed in with other colors. Finally, the hearts are boxed and shipped.

Original Equipment is used!
History is still at work in the manufacturing process of conversation hearts. It takes a combination of machines and skilled candy makers to produce conversation hearts. Many of the machines used to make this candy are the original machines or exact replicas.

The History of Conversation Hearts:
Back to the time of Shakespeare? It has been suggested that Queen Gertrude in Shakespeare’s Hamlet might have originated the tradition with her “Sweets to the Sweet.” Offering up sweet candies to her loved one.

The American colonists were known to make candies on which they etched love notes for Valentine’s Day.

Then, along came the New England Confectionary Company, known more popularly as NECCO, who capitalized on the colonists’ idea. In the mid-1800s, NECCO created conversation hearts aka sweethearts.

Sweetheart Sayings: 10 New Sweethearts Sayings At least 10 new conversation heart sayings are introduced each year. Recent additions include "Yeah Right," "Call Home" and "Puppy Love."

That makes well over 100 original sayings in total!

Sold for Limited Time Each Year!
Sweethearts are sold 1/1 - 2/14 The peak selling season for Sweethearts conversation hearts last only six weeks, but confectioners produce the candy for nearly eleven months of the year.

They're available January 1st through February 14th.

Love them??
