    Let me guess - you've been single for so many years that you sort of just forgot that hell has frozen over and pigs have flown and you actually have a sweetheart to shop for this Valentine's Day! And since you failed to remember until just now that February 14th (as in tomorrow) isn't just another day on the calendar this time around (an honest mistake), you're pretty much just planning to show up empty-handed and present-less on the big night with the assumption that your sympathetic sweetie will "understand." Lucky for you, unless your honey came up with the genius idea to hand-make your gifts this year (and in turn has set you both up for a Chandler-and-Monica style hand-puppet fiasco), this little problem of yours can easily be solved with a super-quick dash to your nearest Walgreens or Target. It may sound desperate, but let's get real - you are desperate, and unless you feel like committing sex-life suicide on the supposedly most romantic day of the year, we suggest you get off the chair and get your hiney hoppin' to the nearest makeshift gift shop - pronto! From Valentine's-inspired collectibles and retro candy gift sets to discounted perfume and cologne, these last-minute gifts may not be the smoothest of souvenirs, but you're just going to have to use that forgetful noggin of yours and figure out how to make it work! After all, you've always been complimented on your power of persuasion, and if there's ever been a time for your BS-ing skills to save your behind, it's now! Check out the slideshow for more last-minute gift ideas that you can hopefully salvage with a little dash of faux sentiment - good luck!

    Valentine's Day Gag Gifts For The Single, Cynical, Or Jokester

    Maybe you and a few friends have been unlucky in love lately and need a good time and some hearty laughs for the sake of singletons everywhere. Maybe you're not quite so unlucky, but your buffoon of a boyfriend needs to get all the sillies out of his system before you can even attempt to have a seriously romantic night out. Maybe you have all the love you need but just seriously abhor the typical Valentine's Day rituals and all its mushy-gushiness galore. Or maybe you're just convinced that the best way to a loved one's heart is through their stomach... via loads of belly laughs. Whatever the reason may be, Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just for the lovey-dovey or the critically committed. With lighthearted gifts like a breath-testing Kiss-O-Meter, Husband Training flash cards, and a just-add-water Frog to Prince figurine (much more practical than the grow-your-own-pet versions), these gags are sure to produce a few giggles, whether you're spending the day with your sweetheart, your single friends, or just a friendly glass of wine. Just be sure to know your audience, though -- a freshly-dumped and dejected gal pal might not find the self-deprecating catty conversation hearts as funny as you do! Check out the slideshow for more chuckle-worthy V-day gift finds!

    Hypothetically, let's say that your boy-toy is the kind of guy to already have every mainstream toy or gadget the second it's released, and already has his camp-out gear ready by the door in preparation for the next Black Friday sale at Best Buy. Or perhaps you and your man have just been together for longer than you both can remember and you've already exhausted every trite Valentine's Day gift-giving ritual. Or maybe your boyfriend just always manages to get you the most original, thoughtful, never-before-seen gifts (and you never understand how on Earth he does it) and the only thing you ever manage to come up with for him in return is a gift card. If any of these very specific scenarios hit just a little too close to home for you - don't fear! Stylehive is here to provide you some assistance in your quest for the perfect Valentine's Day gift that I can almost guarantee he doesn't already have stashed under his bed somewhere (don't forget to check out our Personalized Gifts For Him post too!). From a Beer of the Month Club membership for the guy who loves his ale to a state-of-the-art two part locator device for the space-case who's always misplacing his keys (or the remote), these gifts ideas are bound to please even the most finicky, tech-savvy, or creative man-friends of yours.

    Our Favorite Non-Drugstore Valentine's Cards (Candy Not Included)

    Valentine's Day gifts usually come with a generic greeting card from the local drugstore. While many greeting cards I receive from any occasion are promptly recycled, I like to keep the especially nice ones displayed on my walls or in a scrapbook. I've found 5 original Valentine's Day greeting cards that the recipient will want to jeep forever. Get a custom personalized greeting card with you and your sweetheart's name cut out. For kids or kids at heart, a cute dinosaur in love would be a hit at any party. So on this Valentine's Day, refrain from grabbing a totally forgettable card off that rack and get something they're remember long after that box of chocolates disappears.
