2014 Valentine’s Day gift guide: Be mine, RVA
This Valentine’s Day, gift your favorite RVA’er with some RVA stuff!

If you’re anything like me, your hands are so dry this winter. I would be incredibly happy if someone decided to butter me up, as the packaging suggests.

Tina Turner, Love Songs — Plan 9
What does love got to do with it? Isn’t love, if we think about it, just a second-hand emotion?

Large Resin Antlers — Quirk Gallery
Comes in pinks and reds; “Horny” jokes abound.

First Lines Mug — Poe Museum
This mug’s emblazoned with the first lines of famous novels. There’s a key on the bottom to help you figure out who’s who, which is the perfect setup for dumping coffee all over your keyboard.

Tres leche cake — Kuba Kuba
If you truly, truly love your special someone (and your special someone loves cake), you will buy them one of Manny’s tres leches cake.
$40
Caramels — Chocolates by Kelly
Cake’s pretty good, but nothing beats the swalty bliss of caramel.
Varies
— ∮∮∮ —
Doughnuts — Sugar Shack Donuts
OK OK, caramels are pretty good, but nothing beats an apple fritter from Sugar Shack Donuts.
Varies
— ∮∮∮ —
60 minute massage — Nimbus
I was going to suggest a couples massage, but let’s be honest, you already spend plenty of time with your better half. Take this opportunity to spend some time alone (while a stranger touches your body).
$75
— ∮∮∮ —
RVA Coloring Book — Modern Artifacts
Turns out if you’ve got kids they might expect some sort of “present” on Valentine’s Day. I have no idea where they get this idea, but I’m looking at you Public School. This coloring book may placate them, but it’s not made of M&M’s so your mileage may vary.
$9
— ∮∮∮ —
Custom stationery — Triple Stamp Press
If you’re sending thank you notes (you really should) for all of the sweet V-Day gifts you got, do it with style.
Varies
