They'll get the message loud and clear with these adorable cookie cutters. The 9-piece set comes in an assortment of Valentine's Day shapes, including 4 hearts, a dove, and letters to spell LOVE.

Fondue, whether cheese or chocolate, is one of the most romantic meals you can possibly share with your sweetie. This set from Chantal has all you need to create a perfect fondue meal. It includes a ceramic insert for cheese or chocolate fondue, or you can use it without the inserve if you're doing a fondue for meat. When you're not dipping, you can use the ceramic insert on its own as a mixing bowl, the metal exterior vessel as a 2-quart pot, and the insert and the pot together on the stove as a double boiler. A bonus whisk is included. Use this fondue set to make Fontina Fondue with Grappa and Chopped Broccoli.

Any meal will be made with love if it's cooked and served in this adorable red heart-shaped cocotte by Staub.

Use it to make stews, soups, braises or casseroles - or perhaps a Sausage and Red Pepper Strata for two?

You'll both be in the mood for love after enjoying some of the recipes from this sexy cookbook. Each section of this book focuses on a different aphrodisiac ingredient, including chocolate, asparagus, honey, chilies and artichokes. There are also "recipes" for mood-enhancing treatments like massage oil and bath salts, and serving suggestions for various astrological signs, times of the day, and stages of the relationship.
