1. Let LOVE reign over your beloved’s workspace with this paperweight inspired by Robert Indiana’s sculpture. Available from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Store.
2. If your sweetheart is a writer or editor, it can be intimidating to write a love letter. I doubt the object of your affection would be feeling critical when reading your words of love, but instead you could sweetly inscribe the title page of Love Letters of Great Men and Women and let the likes of Napoleon, Van Gogh, and Wollstonecraft do the hard part.
3. Let the dictionary proclaim your feelings, with a clever print from Collage-O-Rama. Up-cycled dictionary pages are printed over with your choice of colorful, meaningful, clever images.
4. Literary cufflinks might be just the thing — a subtle, and personal way to express words of love to one with a love of words. The Literary Gift Company sells pencil- and pen-shaped cufflinks, as well as designs inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Arthur Conan Doyle, and literary terms.
5. Jane Austen can be trusted for romantic language. This lovely scarf from storiarts, printed with text from Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, is a functional but personal gift.
