Creative Valentines Day Card and Gift Ideas:

I love the little iPhoto books you can create from your own pictures. Adding text and photos to the Apple designs is easy and makes sure they come out looking good. And these adorable mini-books are priced right at 3 for $11.97 and make perfect little keepsake Valentines for your loved ones.

If you need a little inspiration for what to say, use an app like Love Poem Generator (free) to create your own unique Valentine's Day message to put in your card.

You can buy the someecards ($.99) app to send a funny card right from your device (handy when you're standing outside the door and realize you forgot a special occasion) or use the 1 800 Flowers (free) to order last minute flowers.

If you like to go all out for Valentines Day, a pink or red iPod Nano would make an awesome Valentines Day gift. Custom engraving is free and turns a great gift into a romantic reminder every time your loved one whips it out. With the new video and camera capabilities of the iPod Nano, you could even add a little video message to the phone from the kids before wrapping it up. At $149, with all the features of the new iPod Nano, it's a great gift and a great value.

For other gift ideas, you might want to try the Gift Ideas! (free) ap which can help you think of the perfect gift when you're truly stumped.

Disclosure: If this post seems a little unusually enthusiastic, I want to confirm that, no, I did not get compensated in any way to write this post (as if Apple needs to pay people to go gaga over their products). Apple did offer to send me an iPod and gift cards, but after using them to review the products, I will be passing them on to our giveaway winners.
