For the Chef:

Splurge on a Le Creuset Dutch Oven especially if your partner loves to cook. To stick to the Valentine's Day theme, you can even consider the the heart shaped version.

If your cutie likes to bake, consider heart shaped silicone molds. We love these because they can be used beyond the oven. After V-day is over, these can also be used as ice cube trays.
