You can’t buy love, but here's a few ideas for what to get your sweetheart this year.

Just for You: Designs from the Heart ($56) by Pablo Correa is a collection of works and stories by designers, illustrators and artists from around the world with one common theme: how to say "I love you." At Dick and Jane’s, 831 17th Ave. SW, Calgary, 403-228-1857, www.dickandjanes.ca

Heart-shape egg rings from Nood ($11.95). Breakfast in bed is good but heart-shaped pancakes or eggs in bed are even better.  At Nood, 820 11th Ave. SW, Calgary, 403-233-9022, www.nooddesign.ca

You treat him to a Coen Brothers Double Feature of A Serious Man and The Big Lebowski (February 7 and 10) and he treats you to a Fashionista Double Feature of Coco Avant Chanel and The September Issue (February 12, 13 and 15) and you both win. At the Plaza Theatre, 1133 Kensington Rd. NW, Calgary, 403-283-2222, www.theplaza.ca

Spell it out with a typographic love poster from Uppercase Gallery. Choose from six ($60 each) simple prints that include sentiments such as “love” and “happily ever after.” At www.uppercasegallery.ca

Take away the “o” and the “e” and love turns into LV. Spoil yourself with a neckalce by Louis Vuitton ($320), in red of course. At Louis Vuitton in Holt Renfrew, 510 Eighth Ave. SW, Calgary, www.louisvuitton.com

If you can’t say it, let Marvin Gaye sing it with his Number 1’s album ($7.99). It has his biggest hits including the most important one for this occasion of course, “Let’s Get It On.” At iTune.

Couples who bend together, stay together.

So this Valentine’s Day, toss the candy, forget the flowers, save some trees and instead, roll out side-by-side  mats.

The Yoga Studio Calgary is offering a partner yoga workshop ($75) tomorrow afternoon with instructors Rob Nicholls and Shelley Lesiw.

Connect with your honey while supporting one another in a balance pose and get intimate with a downward dog for two. Those less sexy communication skills and trust issues will be put to the test but strengthening those pelvic floor muscles does wonders.

After all, there’s a big O in Om.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Talk about a sticky situation: We tested Lesley Stowe’s homemade marshmallow recipe with a three-year-old sous-chef and found it practically goof proof. Now does anyone know how to get marshmallow out of one’s hair?

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan on medium high heat and bring to a boil. Let simmer for one minute. Pour boiling syrup into gelatin and mix at high speed.
