On Valentine's Day, Cupid needs to hit your beloved with a bullseye. And you can make sure that the cherub's arrow finds its mark by giving your sweetheart a sweet, heart-shaped gift. Deeply symbolic of romance, heart-shaped presents will warm and woo the heart of your true love. Consider some of these special gift ideas for your special Valentine.

Heart-shaped jewelry

You don't have to go to a fine jeweler or offer them your first-born to give the lady in your life exquisite, heart-shaped jewelry. Both QVC.com and HSN.com offer timeless designs, intricate craftsmanship, and heart-shaped cubic zirconium stones with just as much sparkle and fire as the real deal at a great discount. They also sell gorgeous heart-shaped gemstone jewelry at a wallet-friendly price. And to add even more of a high-end look, many of these items are clad in a richly luscious layer of real platinum.

Heart-shaped chocolates

Chocolates are a classic, popular Valentine's Day staple abounding in delicious decadence that will be appreciated by either the man or woman in your life. They'll literally be able to eat their heart out! For $39.95, Harry & David sells a beautiful red box of 31 heart-shaped gourmet chocolates in tantalizingly mouthwatering flavors including milk chocolate hearts covered in white chocolate, dark chocolate truffle hearts, cherry vanilla hearts covered in white chocolate, and dark chocolate hearts covered in more dark chocolate. It's so sensual, the two of you might have to smoke a cigarette after eating these delights! And for your inner child, you can exchange classic Sweetarts heart-shaped lollipops for $4.19, with adorably innocent messages inscribed on them such as Hug Me and Be Mine.

Heart-shaped perfume bottles

For the femme fatale within your sweetheart, Victoria's Secret offers the cologne, Rapture, in an opulent gold and cut glass, heart-shaped bottle. At $35.00 for 1.5 fluid ounces, Rapture is a heady mixture of amber, Bulgarian rose, musk, and heliotrope. Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette, a passionate purple in a cut glass, heart-shaped bottle, is for the lady who's eternally youthful, with its frolicsome notes of fruit and vanilla. This romantic scent is $75.00 for 3.4 ounces, and $60.00 for 1.7 ounces.

Heart-shaped picture frames

Picture yourself in one of these for Valentine's Day. Or the two of you in a heart-shaped frame attesting to your love. A Victorian-style, heart-shaped pewter frame by Malden International for $10.00
