Roses are red, violets are blue, whatever your whim, TODAY style editor and Bobbie.com's Bobbie Thomas has a V-Day find for you...
For those in relationships
Performance art pieces from the 1960s inspired Jeremy Brown to develop his provocative "Love Is Art" kits. Use the large canvas and body paint provided to create unique and "intimate" abstract art with your partner; then wait eagerly for compliments to roll in and explain how it was made! The kits include a plastic sheet to help keep things relatively clean and body scrubbers to use afterward. ($60 and up; loveisartkit.com)
Mini Grumpy Val Pals
Mini Grumpy Val Pals are a wee bit bitter.
For those boycotting the holiday
Valentine's Day isn't everyone's favorite day. If you have a disinterested friend or relative, let them commiserate in the company of Mini Grumpy Val Pals. The precious, plush figurines, which include an angry cupid and bitter teddy bear, say phrases like "love stinks!" and "isn't it romantic... blech!" ($4.95; baronbob.com)
For those about to take the plunge
Whether your gal's into gambling or you're just looking for an unexpected way to pop the big question, I fell in love with faux, scratch-off lottery tickets from BaronBob.com, which reveal the phrase "Will You Marry Me?" ($4.95; baronbob.com). And if you're not on the path to nuptials, you can still create your own custom cards for Valentine's day by purchasing scratch-off stickers from MyScratchOffLabels.com. Simply print out a design on your computer and top it off with one of the fun, self-adhesive stickers. ($5.50 and up; myscratchofflabels.com)
TODAY style expert Bobbie Thomas shares gifts to enhance your Valentine's Day, including a sexy art project for couples.

For us guys, Valentine's Day ranks up there with getting beat up on the playground when we were in Kindergarten, attacks due to pms, being blamed for miscarriages and menopause. Check out that ATT commercial where the guy tries to say something nice to his wife who is a florist and she snaps at him saying she should have married someone else and you'll know what I mean.
I have been married over 20 years and we have never really done anything "big" for Valentine's Day. My husband shows me I am his Valentine in little ways all the other 364 days of the year. I prefer that.
