Coincidence that Valentine and VJ both start with a V?

I think not. I am quite certain there is a consipiracy here - probably brought to us by the same tricksters who created MENapause and MENstruation. But alas, we are faced with this Hallmark holiday year after year, so we might as well have fun with it, right?

Here are some V-Day cards that are a little more unique than the ones you'll find in the card aisle at Duane Reade:

And for the guy who forgets the stupid holiday you pretended to not care about in the first place, this series says it all:

The series above can be purchased with love at Ella Studio.

When a card just won't do, and a tangible gift is in order to tell your sweetie just how much you adore them, try one of these. They speak louder than jewelry or tools ever could:

An absolute steal at $7.95, the Heartless Bitch stuffed animal comes with a heart shaped hole where her heart should be. Perfect for the cold, callous type. Purchase at Heartless Bitches.

And should Mr. Short-Lived rain on your romance parade, slip on this cozy tee to show him just how much you appreciated that 2 minutes. Available courtesy of the Sticker Wizard and Goth Monkey.

Now go on...let love rule.
