We’re closing in on midnight of Valentine’s Day 2007 as I write this and some of you are surfing around still wondering what to do about Valentine’s Day. Don’t fret because Hmm has got you covered with this last minute gift idea list and it will only cost you is a little bit of time and thought.

1. Send a vcard.

If you forgot to buy your sweetie a print card for Valentine’s Day (of course you didn’t), you can hop over to Metacafe and send and/or upload you own Valentine’s Day vcard (video card).

Who is Metacafe you say? Ahh, well YouTube has your heart covered too with their dump cupid promo:

2. Make him/her smile. Humor is timeless. Does your significant other have a good sense of humor?

3. Send something you’ve just discovered. Wanna find something totally random for your better half? Get the SU Firefox add-on here. Stumbleupon something Valentine’s Day related by clicking on “all” in the Stumbleupon toolbar, choosing keyword and typing in “valentines day.”

4. Send something eerie. For the Hannibal Lecter types, send a creepy e-card or image. On second thought, don’t, I’m joking.

5. Send some Valentine’s Day factoids. Does your heart belong to an analytic type? Bad Cupid’s list of Valentine’s Facts might be right up his/her list. Here’s a couple to get teasers:

# Franklin D. Roosevelt spent every one of his 13 Valentine’s Days as president of the United States tooling around the White House in his wheelchair completely naked.

In early days, locksmiths charged half price on Valentine’s Day for making duplicate keys for chastity belts.

6. Show your MySpace lover MySpace love. If your sweetie has a MySpace then here’s how to add a heart comment.

7. Musicify him/her with a sweet Dairy Queen slow jam. This could be the perfect sexy melody to go with some DQ ice cream.

8. Send your anti-Valentine’s Day sentiments. While this one will probably go down badly with most Valentines, if neither you nor your sweetheart celebrate Valentine’s Day sending along a reminder that Valentine’s Day sucks might be useful because, well, you know.

9. Send a sappy song.. Let’s not forget the broken hearted while massaging the red blooded and strong beating. What would a list of Valentine’s Day related internet gifts be without a list of breakup songs? While writing this, I’m listening to the podsafe song “People make mistakes” by Aaron Short. Naturally, I don’t think I made a mistake, but some reading might have in the past and perhaps sending a broken hearted song could creak open a past flame’s door. Never hurts to try.

10. Send podcast podsafe tuneage.. Speaking of podsafe and on a much more practical note, you could send your podcasting sweetheart music.podshow.com so she/he could use podsafe music in his/her podcast.

11. Send and require receipt of a mutual love note.. The idea of mutual card swapping is for those who want to send and receive:

A Mutual Love Note is a special type of valentine that gets revealed only when two people have sent each other a Mutual Love Note. If only one person sent a Mutual Love Note, the other will not find out about it. Your Mutual Love Note will be revealed to the recipient only if the feeling is mutual, in other words only if the recipient has also sent you a Mutual Love Note.

12. Send your artistic brilliance. Sure Picasso, we know you’re out there. Think of the spud dude, only it’s Mr. Picassohead.

If you’re looking for other online generators, there is a growing, updated Hmm generators list here.

13. Yeah, yeah, yeah send an e-card of course. Mitch has compiled a short list of ecard possibilities. Remember to personalize every ecard because it will mean a lot more to the recipient.

14. Tell him/her “I love you” in many different languages. Just break out your email and write Nagligivagit in Eskimo and dozens of other languages. Be sure to give him/her the link or babelfish for translation.

I’m sure you can think of many more but since Valentine’s Day is on the 14th, this seems like a good number to stop in this particular list. You can use the comment section below to add other great last minute Valentine’s Day internet gift ideas. Very well, I’m off to spend some quality time with my Valentine.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

  2. Any straight guy who tries to give his sweetheart that humorous card from Cyanide and Happiness had better back it up with a diamond bracelet, or else he might as well take the cyanide.

  3. Will have to wait and see what my wife says about that but I’m guessing it would make her smile (I didn’t send it to her, but she will read this post). That’s what it’s all about, Vince ;)
