4 of the Best Food-Related Valentine's Gifts

Girls are easy. Our weaknesses (chocolate, flowers, anything that sparkles) are so well-known and so universal that entire industries have been created focusing specifically on how to woo with jewelry and sugar. But originality earns points, too, especially when combined with food, so these four products might get you the extra oomph you're looking for during the Holiday of Love.

Not ready to pop the question yet? Instead make her smile with this faux jewelry, which cleverly combines two traditional Valentine's gift options and won't cost even a tenth as much as the real thing. (Men be warned: if your girl might be expecting the real thing, making a joke of it with this piece could backfire horribly. Be sure of your footing with anything ring-shaped or -sized, especially on this particular day.)

Nothing says 'I care' more than something that takes time, and making these paper iPod's out of candy heart boxes and Reese's is easy but still sends that 'you matter' message. Suggestions for songs to put in the playlist: 'Love me Tender', 'My Funny Valentine', 'I Belong To You', and 'Stand By Me'.

Even if all you can cook is toast and eggs on the morning of Feb. 14, this stamp-like cookie-cutter will make it effortlessly special. Just make sure to butter before stamping.

By all means, bonus points if you come up with a bouquet of any shape, size, or food type. And the newest kind of bouquet on the market is the cupcake bouquet, where a vase of cupcakes on wire is decorated with frosting in the shape of petals, then you add the card, send it to right address, and reap the rewards.
