Alternative Valentine’s Day Gifts

By Madelyn Miller

Show the depth of your affection to your honey in unique ways that reflect the specialness of your love.

Yoga Classes - You know the old saying, couples that stretch together stay together

Nikon Coolpix s9 - Three Words: Night Portrait Mode

SugarFree Chocolates  You want something for your sweetie that is not too sweet.
Yummy ones from Eleanor Joseph Confections

Ipod Nano Red - Show your sweetie your socially conscious side by getting this special edition player - part of the proceeds fund African charities

Guitar Hero 2 - You can play out your Rock Star/groupie fantasies with this super addictive game

Xbox 360 HD DVD Player - Finally a device that can support 'Gears of War' and "Steal Magnolias" without skipping a beat

Foot Massager - When you are not there, it's the next best thing

Something spicy you can both enjoy - Based on an old  family recipe from caterer George Brown, Smokin’ Pecans deliver just the right mix of spice and back-of-the-mouth warmth. The taste is smooth, seductive and hard to put down. Doesn’t that sound like your love? www.banderafoods.com

Aquascape Spa Showerhead - It's like dancing in the rain, except in the privacy of your own home . Just think of how much fun you can have.

Toast your love-with Metropolitan Martini Company’s ready-to-serve martinis. Just like you, they thought of everything. The martinis are in chic, acrylic  glasses and come in four fun flavors. My favorite is the Apple Martini but the cosmopolitan looks more like a valentine drink. Buy both—it’s not even a splurge. They are literally ready to drink at the peel of a label, not the twist of a shaker. Each martini glass has a peel-away label covered by a lid that doubles as a coaster. Saves time and energy so you can focus on doing important things together.

Nike Shox Running Shoe - Since your sweetie already ran away with your heart, at least you can finally catch up

Vera Bradley-since your love goes forever, time stands still. Why not gift your honey with Vera Bradley’s multi-banded watch to show you are always with her in any situation. www.verabradely.com
