Who needs the usual old boring flowers, wine, champagne or chocolates? Get original this year. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" had a magical segment last night, revealing some of the best and worst Valentine's Day gifts this year. Admittedly, most of them come under the "worst" category, unless your loved one has a great sense of humour!
Colbert describes the holiday as "Valentine - The patron saint of seasonal marketing," and he's not far wrong.
Olive Garden: Italian restaurant's Valentine breadstick bouquet
Stephen reckons it's the perfect way to say, "Let's get too logy to have sex tonight." The breadsticks come wrapped in paper that says, "My love for you is never-ending." Stephen said this is in lieu of saying while we're here, we should check we're not related.

Bouquets of bacon roses
If the woman in your life is a meat-lover, why not treat her to a crisp and tasty bouquet of bacon roses. Stephen says if you can't get her heart aflutter, "40 slices of bacon will stop it dead."

The Love Sync
This romantic set of two connected buttons will indicate to your beau that it is time for some loving. Place a button next to the bed and should you feel a little frisky, anonymously tap your Love Sync button. If your loved one does the same, both buttons will feature a "swirling glow." At this point, according to Colbert, you can "commence mutual pleasuring" as "the button has spoken." He also said they should have a setting that says "Too full. Unlimited breadsticks." See No. 1 above. :)
