I Only Have Eyelashes for You

Damn. I meant to mention these a week or two ago, but I forgot. These eyelash necklaces are totally nuts in a surreal, vaguely Dali-esque fashion, but are also pretty and delicate. Know what else they are? Totally DIYable. And think of all the nifty variations you could make by using different kinds of funky eyelashes. Ooh, project!
flutter.

If Your Valentine Hearts Hearts...

Celebrate Valentine's Day with Krispy Kreme's heart-shaped donuts.

Or pick up one of these cute pixelated love duffel bags. Hell, while you're tootling around fred flare, pick up these sunglasses and this necklace, which will particularly appeal to devotees of The Wizard of Oz. (If you don't know why, you haven't watched the movie enough.)

If you want to give a gift that's awesomely sexy, yet not Frederick's of Hollywood–trashy, opt for these adorably retro Sailor Jerry garter undies.

Should you feel like dropping a load o'cash, this necklace is one of the few heart-shaped pieces of jewelry I actually condone. It's so big, so elaborate, so...loopy that it manages to avoid being cloying. This lariat is less of a statement piece, but still rather fresh and sweet. (Via Better Living Through Design.)

On the other hand, if petite (and geeky) is more your style, you might consider this necklace.

Or, for your favorite lush, here's a cute little (though probably overpriced) heart-shaped keychain flask. Actually, skip that one. This flask set is much more stylish (and rather less cutesy).

Keepin' It Real, Valentine-Style

For those who like to keep it real, try this necklace or the matching pin. Also, either would make a good present for a female cardiologist.

If You Have Bank...

...and want to majorly impress someone, here are a trio of fab options.

Is she a whiz in the kitchen? A total foodie? An attractive version of Martha Stewart? Or, better still, is she Giada De Laurentiis? Splurge on this great kitchenware necklace. So cute, without being cloying. Very expensive.

If you simply want to demonstrate how luxe your table setting can get, spring for this set of pagoda salt and pepper shakers. 'Tis the season to let your seasonings be decadent.

And, for the pièce de résistance, how better to fight the chill in your swank modernist apartment (or the swank moderist apartment of your dreams) than by installing this Blomus Chimo fireplace? No chimmney required, runs on ethanol, and very space-efficient. Not to mention totally rad.

Since We're Discussing Shoes...

...I do have some shoe-related suggestions for the holiday gift guide. These earrings are so cute—check out the heels, which double as the earring backings. And there are matching necklaces! I'm going to drop dead from a cuteness overdose.

Mooning Over Jewelry

Ooh, I love this Smoon Bijou necklace. It looks like you're wearing the moon around your neck. So pretty.

Jacket and Tie Required? No Problem.

I do like these cheeky little tie necklaces, though I rather doubt I'd pay $80 for one. Quite a clever concept, though.

Because Diamonds are Passé

Tell her she lights up your life (without saying anything nearly that sappy) with the Crystal Fuze Necklace.

How about some Champagne without the drunkenness? This necklace is just as bubbly.

If you can spare some big bucks, go for the awesome Swarovski Nepal Ring. (Incidentally, I think it can double as a weapon.) If that's out of your price range, try the glass Bling Ring.

For the geekettes (or those who love geeks), go for the surprisingly elegant Capacitor Necklace.

For another decidedly unusual choice, check out this Ruler Bracelet.

This is a personal favorite. Show her that she's yours and you're not letting go with a Handcuff Bracelet. (On the topic of handcuffs, keep this rule in mind: Handcuff bracelet=cute. Fuzzy handcuffs=overplayed.)

To spell it out, try one of these Definition Necklaces.

And, if you'd like to go a more traditional route (as in candy) without actually giving candy, the Chocolate Bon-Bon Necklace is an excellent and adorable option.
