Valentine's Day gift guide

For the one who won't commit:

With the 'Cupcake in Bloom,' you can send just the right kind of message to that special someone: I enjoy your company enough for a particularly tacky pastry-inspired floral arrangement that's sort of Valentine's Day-themed, but not pink or red enough to suggest anything more than that.

For the Spelman-dwelling couple:

If the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, then these recipes are sure to produce wonderfully scandalous results sooner than you can say, "Bon appetit." Full of helpful advice like serving Chile Lime Shrimp as "the perfect finger food to feed your lover," "The Seduction Cookbook: Culinary Creations for Lovers" is the perfect gift to bring some zest to a bland love life.

For someone in a long-distance relationship:

For those of you whose significant others live far, far away, remind him or her of your beautiful face with a custom bobblehead doll from headbobble.com. Just upload a picture of yourself, let the bobble experts work their magic, and rest assured that you'll always have a special place in your loved one's heart ... or at least on his or her desk.

For the lonely girl:

When sleeping in a lonely bed, sometimes a girl just wants a giant stuffed arm to snuggle with. On Valentine's Day (better known to singles as an I-eat-ten-pounds-of-Godiva-truffles-while-sobbing-to-emo-punk-music day), the Boyfriend Pillow will give her the comfort she needs to emerge the next day with the same goofy smile plastered on her face as all those obnoxious lovers.

For the classic romantic:

Though it may not come in that iconic turquoise box she's been dreaming about since she saw Audrey Hepburn longingly stare at the Tiffany's window, it would be hard not to appreciate one of these beautiful costume rings from the Victorian Trading Company. Not only are they sweet without being schmaltzy, but they will also let her know how much you care in an old-fashioned sentimental way.
