The romantic minded would like us to believe that Valentine's Day is a noble occasion marking the passionate sacrifice of St. Valentine and should be celebrated with Hallmark cards and velvet-covered boxes of chocolate. But here at Fleshbot we know the real meaning, if only because we feel it throbbing in the more sensitive areas of our alcohol-soaked bodies. Find out some of our favorite suggestions for sharing the love using chocolate penises, DIY pussy casting kits, pink panties, solar vibrators, and other goodies after the jump.V. Blue

Clone A (Chocolate) Willy
As our sibling site Gizmodo noted last month, the chocolate Clone A Willy kit—which enables you to cast the cock of your choosing into an edible choco-sicle—is possibly the "it" gift this V-Day. (No jokes about "riding the Hershey Highway", please.)

Sustainable Sex Toys
I'll be the first to admit that the hole in the ozone layer isn't exactly the hole I'm thinking of when I'm buying a vibrator, but for those of you Catholic types who love to mix guilt and sex, you can live a little by perusing and purchasing a gift from Tree Hugger's Valentine's Day Sustainable Sex Toys list, including solar powered vibes and those great recycled tire tread paddles we went gaga over a few months ago.

JT's Stockroom Valentine's Lover's Guide
We generally only visit JT's Stockroom to ogle the pretty pictures, but they sure know how to assemble a killer gift list by price and desire too—and this year's Valentine's Guide is no exception. We especially like their new Valentines-y pink (one might even say Fleshbot pink) leather collection, including the Pink Padded Leather Blindfold, Pink Leather Wrist and Ankle Restraints, Pink Leather Collar and the Pink Leather Leash, all modelled by the delectable Aria Giovanni (who, unfortunately, does not come free with every purchase).

Eros Guide's Romance Enhancers
While our idea of a "romance enhancer" involves a Best of Babelogs post on a T1 connection, a bottle of Jack Daniel'sm and an intern filing things in the bottom drawer, we're still open to the suggestions on Eros Guide's list. Come to think of it, the whole scenario we just described might be even more romantic if enhanced with a pair of Eros' suggested "Mike Hunt" panties from Courtesan Clothing. We're starting to feel all warm and fuzzy already.

Valentine's Day Sex Toy Kits From Babeland
Dinner, flowers, and diamonds? They're for amateurs. While Stockroom lets us assemble sexy gift kits ourselves (and send hot and nasty e-cards), Babeland offers a variety of kits for the Valentine who just can't make up his or her mind, or perhaps has a particular kink on the menu. Choose from packages like Passion's Prisoner, an excellent beginner's bondage kit in flaming red as befits the holiday, and My Sexy Valentine, an uber-streamlined selection of sex toys for couples. After all ... just because Valentine's Day only comes once a year doesn't mean you have to, too.
