It's Valentine's week, and love is in the air at SmileyBuzz headquarters. And what better way to mark Wednesday's holiday than by welcoming our first husband-and-wife team to the ranks of the SmileyBuzzsters! Erin and Drew - a happily married couple who work with us - will be blogging together as a team, offering their thoughts and advice from a "he-said, she-said" perspective. And we promise it will in no way resemble an MTV reality show starring Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.

In fact, Erin and Drew were so excited about joining us that they wrote up their debut post before our administrators had time to create their official Buzzster license and account. And we think it's very appropriate that their very first post is a Valentine's Day Gift Guide. So without any further delay, please give a warm SmileyBuzz welcome to Erin and Drew...

We all know that Valentine’s Day is a time for going on a date – perhaps to a fancy dinner or romantic movie.  But don’t forget the gifts!  So when you show up at your sweetie’s this year, what are you going to bring with you as a gesture of your thankfulness that he or she is a part of your life?  We’ve gathered some suggestions for all types of guys and gals, and there’s not much time left, so get reading and get shopping!

Gifts for the guys –
For the Techie in your life:
Your man probably already has an iPod. In fact, he might have an assortment from through the years. But if he is a true techie, he will need to add the newly released Apple iPod shuffle to his collection in any of five great colors!


All techies know that the ultimate piece of technology is the ever-famous Transformers. Make him feel like a kid again while getting ready for the upcoming blockbuster movie with this Optimus Prime T-shirt circa 1984.

Impress your Jock:
Valentine’s Day is also the first day of baseball’s spring training this year. Get your valentine ready for America’s Pastime with one of these Major League Baseball throwback t-shirts.  If your sports nut is more of a basketball fan, check out the newly released Dwyane Wade Special Edition Sidekick, the perfect combination of technology and sports culture. 

Is he a Hip Urbanite?
Get your urban guy out of his scruffy phase with this Shave Kit from Art of Shaving, or make sure he is on time for your date with the new line of Fossil watches created by designer Phillipe Starck.

For the Classic Geek:
If your man is spending too much time playing games alone, Wiiplay, the newest game from Nintendo for the popular Wii system comes with an extra Wiimote and 9 games for the two of you to enjoy together.  Or get your geek a gift only he could love… and only he will understand with this love poem t-shirt.

Gifts for the Girls –
For your Romantic Sweetheart:
Cuddle up with your romantic lady with this Silvretta Heart throw blanket, and enjoy a cozy night with a romantic movie on DVD… Preferably an older movie such as the classic Casablanca.

Fashions for your Fashionista:
For the Fashionista in your life, not just any undergarments will do. Get these Juicy Couture boy shorts, packaged in a heart shaped box. Or, if you are looking for jewelry, get her something fun and unique this year. These bracelets from IMOOI are colorful, modern and affordable.

Sweets for the Foodie:
If she loves desserts, these artisinal brownies from Mari’s in New York come in flavors perfectly suited for Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking for something more classic, don’t get the same old chocolates this year. This box of chocolates from Marie Belle includes edible art and amazing flavors. 

If she’s a Princess:
For the girl who has everything, give her a taste of the world. These Wallpaper City Guides provide a glimpse of what the greatest cities in the world have to offer.  Or treat your princess like a queen with a spa package. For a suggestion, get her a day at the Spa Mandarin Oriental in New York, one of these finest spas in the world!
