Valentine’s Gift Guide 2010

Valentine’s day is just around the corner and while most people either love it or hate it we at PLRG think you should celebrate everyone you love in your life! Whether you have a honey or not you can still buy your best girls a little pick me up, send you parents some cupcakes, or even buy your pup a sassy new collar. So check out our gift guide below and get some ideas on what to buy your loved ones, or just treat yourself because you deserve it!

These LOVE earrings are adorable, modern, with just a hint of Valentine’s day. While they are almost identical to a  pair that is selling for $132, these are only $3.80! For that price you could pick up a pair for everyone at the office and still have money to spare.

This is for the lady in your life who has yet to meet her prince charming. This tongue in cheek gift will definitely bring a smile to any skeptic in your life. Just add water and watch as the frog magically turns into a prince. And, if you add more water the prince triples in size! ($8)

So remember when you were little and use to make checks for hugs out of construction paper? Well this is sorta like that but way more professional and a little more sexy. This check book comes complete with 30 IOUs and 30 UOMES which is bound to heat up your bedroom. What guy wouldn’t love getting these? ($9.95)

No Valentine’s day celebration is complete without something sweet and Molly’s Cupcakes is the perfect place to indulge your sweet tooth. Molly’s is said to have the best Red Velvet Cupcakes in all of Chicago according to Chicago Magazine. Not to mention they have center-filled cupcakes as well filled with ooy gooey goodness, drooling yet? ($12 for a dozen mini cupcakes)

Tights are hot right now with tons of patterns, textures, and colors to choose from. These sweet, sheer heart tights are adorable and are the perfect understated V-day look. You could pair with leather boots for an office ensemble and then throw on some sexy heels when you meet up with your Valentine for dinner. ($14)

Here is another sweet idea, perfect for couples. While not settle in for a cozy evening at home and indulge in some edible chocolate body icing? It’s a sweet treat you can both enjoy! ($15)

This is a great gift for anyone, because doesn’t everyone want kissable fresh breath? The Kiss-o-Meter is a compact bad breath detector that indicates if your breath is good enough for a smooch! It has five levels of kissing, ranging from kiss me to never. This way you’ll always be ready for a kiss. ($24)

Give Me Some Lip Valentine’s Day gift set will surely keep your lips looking pucker perfect for the holiday and beyond. The gift set includes 7 of Sephora’s most sought after shades in gorgeous hues of pink and red. Also the whole set is only $25 that values at $65, what a steal!

Layered, leather jewelery is another huge trend this season and with Spring just around the corner why not punch up your wardrobe with some color? The Cara Couture leather wrap bracelet comes in a variety of colors and is so versatile you could wear it as a bracelet, necklace, or even a headband. ($28)

This is Chicago, so the list would not be complete if the famed Lou Malnati’s heart shape pizza was not included. What says I love you more than a hot cheesy pizza in form of a heart?? Guys will surely scarf this down in a second, but don’t be fooled because any girl, if given a chance, will do the same! ($39.95)

Hint- My Pie serves one up too for cheap. Check it out here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
