From coffee pubs to music stores to the balloons on the kerb-side, special offers and gifts leave many gawking. Here are some gift ideas that will bowl your valentine over.

* Name a star. That's right, an actual star. For about, Rs. 2,400, the International Star Registry gift package includes a parchment certificate, with the name of your choice, dedication date and telescopic coordinates of the star. The information booklet contains charts of the constellations and a detailed chart of the location of your star. Now for posterity your valentine's name will be up there in the heavens.

* For him: Electronic gadgets, Swiss army knives (Rs. 2,500-Rs. 6,000), golf sets, funky cufflinks (Rs. 120), cologne, personal stationary, hiking boots, CDs and a briefcase or wallet with his name engraved on it. The gift bag from Enamor contains a gift voucher worth Rs. 500, a book to record memorable days and moments of togetherness, a bookmark and a special gel candle. Make him waltz to the tunes of the greatest love songs; compilations are available at all leading music stores.

* For her: Pendants, lockets (Rs. 1,250 onwards), handbags in tones of red (Rs. 1,600 onwards), feng shui articles, perfume, pottery, a pocketbook of poems, pot pourri, stoles, a coffee table book.
