Here are our 14 favorite most unusual REAL Valentine's Day gifts. Purchase at your own risk...
1.) Smittens - An over-sized mitten for two. If you're planning a romantic chilly February stroll with your special someone, don't forget your Smittens.
2.) Taxidermy Jewelry - Talk about "loved to death" — these creepy once living creatures can now be worn as jewelry for your Valentine.
3.) The Klong - This awkwardly strange E.T.-shaped pillow is designed to hug and comfort you while simultaneously creeping out your friends and loved ones.
4.) 'Twilight' Merchandise - Unless you're planning a joke, this so-called sexy vampire stuff is a definite no. If this is your idea of romance, there's nothing we can do for you.
5.) Name a Roach - "Flowers wilt, candlelight fades, but roaches are forever," at least according to the Bronx Zoo. For a ridiculously unusual gift, you can name one of the Bronx Zoo's 58,000 Madagascar hissing cockroaches after your significant other (or soon-to-be ex) and help support the Wildlife Conservation Society and its five New York City Parks. Hey, it even comes with roach-shaped chocolates!
6.) Name tattoo - Well then, you sure as hell better not break up or at least be sure to find a girl with the same name.
7.) Pink Mace Gun - Pepper spray is one thing but if you're going to present your girl with this gift it should look like this! Talk about gnarly, this might actually be a pretty sweet gift. Unless you're on the receiving end, of course.
8.) Edible undies - From candy G-strings to gummy bras these are some naughty snacks. On second thought, do people actually eat these things? Ew.
9.) Louis Vuitton condoms - To fulfill all of your designer desires. Although it's just a knock off and not actually produced by Louis Vuitton, you can still purchase one of these. Due to the chaos this product caused on Twitter recently, the Web site has been down for days. But when the site is operational, you can get your designer prophylactic for the low-low price of $68 a pop.
10.) The Boyfriend Pillow - Sadly, this pillow is shaped like a a human torso. It will hug you when nobody else will. It's also made from super-absorbent space-age fabric to soak up all the tears.
11.) His & Hers Tongue Scrapers - Takes the relationship to the next level. This thing removes "tongue fur." If you have a hairy tongue, it's time to see a doctor.
12.) Baconlube - If you already love bacon, why not be a bacon lover? Smear your loved ones with pig grease and let the fun begin — we guess.
13.) Elephant Poop Roses - Crafted from elephant dung, these flowers are sure to brighten your Valentine's Day. Nothing says "I love you" like a fistful of crap.
14.) Ring for Sex Bell - By far the simplest way to communicate your desire. Goes great with the food bell you got her for Christmas, you Romeo, you.

Calling all beautiful women out there. Yes, I mean you; do I have your attention? I feel as though you need a good talking to about your wardrobe choices. No matter if you’re a plain Jane or a glamorous diva, you should still try to wear clothes that fit you properly and that show off your class — and not your ass. I have seen some plain Janes with these baggy clothes that are so unbecoming to their bodies and these glamorous divas who think that wearing the shortest skirt or lowest-cut top will somehow make them look "hot." It certainly will to some people but the question is: Why do we do this? Is it because it makes us feel sexier or maybe because we are trying...
