A Dozen Chocolate Roses

A Dozen Chocolate RosesAt first glance, I thought that these roses were made of yellow chocolate, so I got really excited. Turns out that they’re just your standard chocolate roses, but wrapped in yellow foil. So they look yellow, but the stuff you eat is nice and milk-chocolaty brown.

True, this is a great Valentine’s Day gift, but it’s really a great gift for her (or him I suppose) any time of the year!

Our Love Photo Cube

Our Love Photo CubeI just got an email from PersonalizationMall.com saying there is still time to order things for Valentine’s Day. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who put off shopping for gifts til the last minute. So this is a great chance to get something on short notice and make it look like you put a lot of work into it!

This is a photo cube that you can put a few photos into and have the first name of you and your love engraved into the O. Ordering last minute means you’ll want to spend a bit more to get it shipped next day or two day air, but getting it there in time for Valentine’s Day will make that well worth it in the end.

Make a cube all yours here.

Bittersweets

BittersweetsTired of the same old little Valentine’s Day chalky hearts? Well these are the same antacid type of treat, but they have much different messages on them than the usual.

The three tins to choose from are Dejected, Dysfunctional, and Dumped. This picture gives a little peek at what to expect from these. Clicking through will give you the entire list of every inscription on these hearts. Have some fun giving out downer hearts this year!

8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt

8-Bit Dynamic Life ShirtThis is pretty cool. ThinkGeek has a pair of t-shirts that will light up with hearts when you are near your loved one. So here’s what you do. Get two of these shirts, one for you and one for your significant other, and then when you’re apart, you’ll each have only 2½ hearts lit up, but when you’re near each other, all 6 hearts will light up. Pretty neat huh?

See the idea is, if you haven’t got it, to make it seem as though each of the t-shirt wearers are in a video game. In games, like Zelda, you want your hearts to be full, that means you’re strong and have perfect health. When they start to diminish, things aren’t looking so hot. So when you’re with your lover, things are looking good.

Of course, there are some things to do to get it set up right, like plug in a little transmitter that detects when the other person is nearby, but it’s totally worth it! You could both wear these shirts to a Valentine’s Day party or any other social event where you want to woo people with your love for each other. Could be a good time for everybody!

Let your hearts grow here.

Key to My Heart Crystalized Keepsake

Key to My Heart Crystalized KeepsakeI put another Personalized Heart Glass Ornament thing up here for the Christmas season. Now it’s time for the Valentine’s Day version. This one is more classy indeed.

It’s about 5 inches tall and wide, and I love the style on the edges. They look like they are wet, but that’s just the snazzy design. Like the other personalized gift ideas on this blog, you can add your own message to it for that special someone. It’s a gift that will be seen every day by the recipient, so make sure you really like the person!

Valentine Snack Gift Pack

Valentine Snack Gift PackNuts, crackers, cheese, and meat. What else do you need in any gift basket? Well, how about a stainless steel cleaver? Now it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!

This is the first gift basket I’ve seen that includes any type of cutting utensil, and they don’t mess around, they include a nice meat cleaver, which is awesome. It’s pretty inexpensive too, so there really isn’t any reason why everybody shouldn’t have their own meat cleaver and heart shaped block of cheddar cheese. The other things in there are whole cashews, garlic herb crackers, and beef sausage. Good stuff.

Cut your way into your Valentine’s heart here.

Reversible Valentine’s Day Table Linen Set

Reversible Valentine's Day Table Linen SetGet festive with some Valentine’s Day placemats and napkins! As you can see, the placemats are reversible, one side being red and white and the other black and white.

There are 4 placemats and napkins, all made of cotton, and there’s a runner too! Jolly good fun. This would be more of a non-romantic Valentine’s Day gift idea I suppose. I wouldn’t count on getting much extra loving from giving this to that special someone as a gift. But give it to someone you don’t want to become affectionate with, and boom bam, it’s the perfect gift!

Petal Poetry

Petal PoetryI like this flower arrangement for Valentine’s Day. There are no leaves to mess with, only the business part of the roses are showing. The vase is a clean and simple red glass cube. It’s elegant and of good style. Well played.

One Pound Chocolate Heart

One Pound Chocolate HeartHere’s a weird and kind of creepy Valentine’s Day gift idea. It’s a chocolate replica of a human heart that weighs an entire pound! That picture makes it look even more creepy than it probably is I’m guessing.

This might be a good gift idea for a medical student or professional I’d imagine. I think some people would really get a kick out of it while others might kick you if you gave it to them for Valentine’s Day. Either way, this is one of the most original ideas I’ve seen. It would be awesome if it was filled with some raspberry sauce or something that made it look like it was bleeding when it got bitten into. Ew!

Give somebody a bigger heart here.

Photo Valentine’s Day Cards

Photo Valentine's Day CardsHere are some more Valentine’s Day cards. This particular one is pink with just a hint of chocolate brown in the border for a nice change. Obviously, you can put your own picture in there of you or your family, or really anything you want.

Here’s an idea for ya. Get a picture of some guys who are roommates in college, order some cards with their pictures on them and then send those cards to people they know! That would be a swell prank.
