The Valentine's Day Gifts
They Really Want
Valentine's Day is upon us and if you're in a relationship, there's a certain expectation that attention must be paid. Your affection cannot, of course, be measured in dollars and cents. Then again, show up empty-handed and you might find yourself in the doghouse. But you don't have to go nuts on silly, frilly Cupid-themed crap—step away from the oversized drugstore teddy bear. You want to think outside the (heart shaped) box. Something that they'd actually like. Herewith, a range of options for every stage of a relationship.

The tradition of giving chocolates on Valentine's Day can be traced to Richard Cadbury, of the English chocolate-making family, who created the first heart-shaped candy box in the late 1800s.
