Ahhh, Cupid. The sweet, diapered cherub is aiming his arrows already. But you’re going to need more than just a feeling to impress your love this Valentine’s Day. You’ll need gifts. Good gifts. The following Websites offer some lovely – and a couple of slightly unusual – tokens for your amore.

1) It’s no secret that the price of flowers triples at Valentine’s Day. Supply and demand. But if you’re a lover of tradition, order a huge bouquet of red roses over at FromYouFlowers.com. This site was ranked “Best Value Online Florist” by the CBS News, Early Show. Plus, every bouquet they send is guaranteed to be fresh, fragrant and beautiful. Choose from cheery arrangements, pretty plants, and even completely edible “candy-bar” bouquets.

2) If exquisite foodstuff is your idea of romance, Harry and David has you covered with beautiful gift arrangements of fine fruit and gourmet snacks. They also make some of the most beautiful chocolate truffles you can find. Their pre-made baskets are filled with surprises, or build a custom gift box full of your sweetheart’s favorites. You can even keep your honey happy all year by subscribing to the fruit-of-the-month club. Delicious!

3) Flowers and candy can seem too …  cliché … so surprise your mate with sweet sentiment instead. BoldLoft sells romantic gifts that couples can share (actually, they have to share them for the gift to make sense!), including his and hers t-shirts, pillowcases, drinking glasses and more. Kitsch rules with these adorable items that will cause your love to “awwww” over words and illustrations that are both whimsical and touching. And – unlike traditional gifts – these picks are non-perishable (just like your love).

4) If you can type, you can make a movie. Or so they say over at Xtranormal. This fun (albeit time consuming) site allows you to create movies on the fly using nothing but your computer and your imagination. So simple! So why not write your own “Love Story” script and turn it into a romantic mini-flick for your beloved? Add quirky inside jokes and other personal touches for a video your sweetie-pie will geek over for years to come.

5) If the goal is to get a little frisky this Valentine’s Day, help set the mood with a special delivery of something sexy from Pajamagram. With over 100 styles to choose from, you can find an exquisite ensemble that your mate will be thrilled to put on – and take off. Every set of women’s pajamas comes with a keepsake hatbox, a lavender sachet, a “do not disturb” sign, and a personalized card. And the selections are tasteful, not trashy, which will improve your chances of getting more than just a dirty look!

6) Whether you’re new to the romance game, or have been “around the block,” it can never hurt to brush up on your skillz. LoveLetterBox is your go-to guide for love, romance, and even improving “relations.” The detailed kissing guide is plenty of fun, and you can also find answers to tough questions in the Love Q&A, as well as inspiring stories, quotes, and even books to read on finding and keeping love. The Top 10 Romantic List might give you some ideas on where your mate likes to be kissed, fun activities to enjoy with your partner, and even types of love.

Sorry,  Internet geek, being a nerd is no longer an excuse for holding out on your significant other.   Use the Webistes above to land love or keep the one you’ve got.  Share your online V-Day destinations below.
