Some of you may dismiss Valentine's Day as just another Hallmark holiday....but guys let's hope you're smarter than that. You do not want your wife or girlfriend calling her friends and telling them how poorly you rate on the romance meter! Instead, go for the gusto! We want to hear your mushy love thoughts whispered in our ears....but we'll also settle for a heartfelt card or email. Valentine's Day doesn't have to break the bank. After all, it is the thought that counts.....and if you put plenty of thoughts into your actions then you won't need this list. But for everyone else, here are a few gifts that are sure to make your sweetheart feel loved and adored this Valentine's Day!

For techies & music lovers: New Nano iPod

It's the newest addition to the Apple iPod family and it comes in a variety of cool colors, including pink. The Nano is available right now online and at your local Apple store. It features 8GB of storage and retails for $199. The two-inch display will allow users to take advantage of viewing the new iTunes movie rentals as well as television shows and music videos. Consider a pre-loaded the Nano with your special love songs.

For the chef in the family: Heart-shaped Cookware

This year, Williams-Sonoma outdid itself. New products on the shelves range from a hot pink fitted apron embroidered with your love phrase for $34, to heart-shaped cupcake molds and cookie cutters. And if you want to skip the kitchen altogether, try the Personalized Individual Heart Cupcake Boxes, Colossal Caramel Apple, or the Love Bug Truffles.

For the home: Heart-shaped Throw Pillows

These bright pastel pillows from SofaGarden were inspired by the small heart-shaped Necco sugar confections. Each pillow, which measures about 13-by-13 inches, holds a sweet message typically found on the confections, such as Hug Me, Kiss Me or Be Mine. Cyber shoppers can customize a message up to 10 characters.  The pillows cost $35 each and come in green, orange, lavender, pink, white or yellow. Sofagarden.com also makes heart-shaped pillows covered in velvet swirl material for $55 each.

For the home or office: Flower or Cookie Arrangement

Surprise your sweetheart at home or work, or make a client's home smell sweet with a flower arrangement. 1-800-Flowers.com is offering a variety of specials on all their flower bouquets. Right now you can buy 1 dozen and get another free, with the vase included! Check out the "Romantic Rose" special and the "Reflections of Love" bouquet. If you're like me, you'd rather your bouquet be an edible selection. So also check out my favorite cookie bouquets by Cookies by Design.

For the Spicy or the Cozy: Pjs

Take your pick! Guys....we LOVE your attempts to get it right! And nothing makes a woman feel sexier than if her guy picks out a matching bra and panty set. Remember to try your best...and err on the side of small rather than large. Another option are the fabulous pajama sets from Pajama Gram. They come in the cutest hat boxes with "do not disturb" signs!

When I was younger, it used to annoy me when my husband bought me sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day.  I felt like he was buying himself a present instead of me :)

Ardell-  I guess I'm always happy to get some action! But would be equally happy with a new set of comfy pajamas, a bottle of wine and my laptop on the couch!

Good man Larry!!!! I'm still waiting!

My husband, like many great men out there, are under the assumption that Valentine's Day is a complete hoax. And, that everyday should be Valentine's Day! Well, it's not and it's surely not going to hurt if you bring home some chocolate!!!
