Valentine’s Day: The Hit List

Valentine’s Day. Basking in unbridled romance? Or unbridled panic because it’s only three days away (slacker) and you’ve no plan? No problem. DailyCandy might not know from love, but Valentine’s gifts? A piece of cake.

Herewith, the DailyCandy Hit List.

Flowers: Nix the roses, and go for Calla lilies. And think long-term: Have six buds delivered to your beloved every month from Barrington Florist, 11718 San Vicente Boulevard (310-826-2117). Daffodils are another charmer, and we dig those from Flowerbud.com.

Dinner? Oh, dinner. If you don’t have reservations by now, we suggest ditching the dining-out idea. (Who’s crankier than the couple left standing at a restaurant bar?) Ditch the clothes, and stay home. Pizza, beer, and, heck, strip poker. Poker kit available at Agent Provocateur, 7961 Melrose Avenue, between Fairfax and Crescent Heights (323-653-0229), or online from agentprovocateur.com.

In the mood for mind games? Tuck into Susan Minot’s latest novel, Rapture. It recounts an afternoon two lovers spend in bed. (So that’s what they were thinking…)

Not ready for monogrammed towel sets? Please. Have a pair of panties embroidered with her initials. Available from purpleskirt.com

And while we’re working below the belt, he needs … silk boxers? Stop it — now. Nothing but Seize sur Vingt for him, or cufflinks.

Need some shaking up? A steamy bath may get his temperature rising.

Toss in Elsa Peretti’s Tiffany razor, and you’re golden.

Now, candy? Oh, candy! No chocolates are prettier than those from Richart Design et Chocolat. Call 1-888-RICHART or order online.

Thinking outside the box? (Our face was planted in one full of pralines, sorry.) Hit up Milo and Millie for delish candy loot.

Or get Uncle Zeke’s butterscotch chunks, “The Best Darn Candy You Ever Slung a Lip Over.” (There’s a tagline worth a thousand kisses.)

Still think that diamonds are a girl’s best friend? Honey, you’re living in the wrong economic market. Try a Sage necklace. Available at Sage, 7377 1/2 Beverly Boulevard, east of Fairfax (323-931-0595).
