About this list:

I'm bummed at all the crap people are posting on here for V-day gifts. Just because it's red or heart-shaped doesn't mean it's a great gift! Here are some gifts that truly are unique, memorable, hip or collectible. No crappy gold-filled jewelry or heart soaps on here. Just the good stuff.

Qualifications:

I've been in love. A lot.
