There is no way to say "I love you" on Valentine's Day better than saying it with chocolate. It is the number one gift for the holiday and typically, it is men giving it to women. But girls aren't the only ones who like chocolate. See's Candies makes an elegant Tuxedo Heart box of chocolate just for girls to give to their guys on Valentine's Day. The box retails for $21.35 and is filled with one pound of delicious, assorted See's candies, including Milk and Dark Chocolate Buttercreams in Chocolate and Vanilla, silky Caramels, crisp Molasses Chips, light and decadent Truffles and solid, red foil-wrapped Chocolate Hearts. And ladies, if you ask nicely, I bet he'll share a piece or two. Of course, you could always buy your own box, just in case.

See's, based in California, will ship all over the country, but place your orders early to ensure they reach your Valentine on time.

If your sweetheart is a little less high-maintenance than most, or if you're just a terrific redneck or a class clown, why not try White Castle for Valentine's Day? The ultimate in low-class burger joints is taking reservations for February 14, you know, just in case the other ones are booked.

What's more, the burger joint is offering candlelit dinners in most of its outlets. Funniest of all, though, is one Indianapolis White Castle manager's quote: "In the 84 years we've been in business, you know there have got to be some love stories out there where, 'We met at White Castle,' stuff like that."

Does there really got to be? I hazard a guess that these stories are rare. You tell me. If there's someone out there whose first date with an eventual spouse was at a White Castle, sweetie, I've got to meet you.

This photo was titled, "Waaaay early V-Day cookies." But from where I'm sitting, it's never too early for Valentine's Day. I love all things pink, red, sugary and heart-shaped. Especially when they're sugar cookies. Details and recipes promised over at Culinarily Obsessed.
