5: Movie Lover: With gasoline near $4 a gallon, who has the money to drive 10 miles to the local video store to rent a movie? More disappointing than that is getting to the store only to see your first choice is already taken. Stop the unnecessary trips and disappointment. Check out Netflix-the online DVD rental service. They offer gift subscriptions and you can pre-pay a one to 12 month plan. With cheap prices for monthly rentals, this gift won't break the bank.
4:Lover of Love: Do you always fall short of giving the perfect gift? If you have a special photo together that you're not sure what to do with, consider using it to give a gift from the heart. The artists from PictureThat can create a custom wooden photo box that is hand painted and antiqued. This is the perfect sentimental gift for that special someone who is hard to buy for. Getting your order started is easy. Contact the artists, and they will tell you where to send your digital photo.
3:Forgetful Lover: "Where are my keys?" If you've ever been late for a date reservation because your significant other tosses their keys somewhere different every time he/she comes home, you need Pottery Barn's Colby Leather Catch-All. It is an attractive way to store items that accumulate on a desk or dresser - from car keys and cell phones to sunglasses and organizers. Visit PotteryBarn.com and type Colby Leather Catch-All into the search item section.
2:Getting to Know Your Lover If your significant other could be a comic superhero do you know which one they would pick? Coke or Pepsi? What they would like to change about themselves? From fun and quirky, to more personal relationship questions, quiz each other with "Getting to Know You: 365 Questions, Activities, Observations and Ways to Get to Know Another Person Better" by Jeanne McSweeney.
1:girl or guy (or you!) loves to capture photos of every moment of your relationship, turn those digital pics into a professionally-bound photo book using MyPublisher.com or Shutterfly.com.

The finished product, which is mailed to you, will be bound like a book and the pictures will be printed on semi-gloss paper. This classy and modern take on a photo album will stun the man or woman in your life.
