Now you need to get a gift for the love of your life, before an arrow is aimed at you, but it not at your heart and Cupid isn't pointing it. Don't sweat it! Check out our slideshow for some great ideas that might just keep you out of the dog house. The 'stop in the name of love' pendant just might be the right choice if you need something on the light side. If you are in a little deeper, the 'guess how much I love you' necklace by Birth Designs is a must have. And we didn't forget the going steady but not ready to commit types - the 'going steady' necklace is the one for you. However deep in love, you can be sure a handmade gift will be the right choice.
