Valentine's for Singles - Part III

"Amantes sunt amentes!" or at least that is what my Latin phrase-a-day calendar says for today. Our third and last segment for this Valentine's is for confirmed bachelors/bachelorettes and those clinging less adamantly to singlehood but willing to have some fun along the way! So grab some chocolate, a few strawberries, and a glass of wine, and take a look at these great items!

So what exactly does it mean to be single? This scrabble charm by Found and Made Designs has all the answers! Made from a salvaged Scrabble letter tile and a silver bail, it features the dictionary definitions of the word "single." Singlehood is no longer considered a contemptible state. Show off your singleness with pride!

Not afraid to be alone? Take a look at this interesting t-shirt from Cackle! An unusual, and somewhat more positive, spin on the "I'm with Stupid" shirts, it declares, "I'm with Myself." Available in grey or white, this shirt would make a great gift for anyone who is comfortable with himself/herself and quite content to spend some time in solitude!

Want the ring but not the significant other? Take a look at Shade Jewelry's selection of unique titanium rings! In particular, this graceful diamond and titanium ring is a show-stopper and a refreshingly distinctive piece in a world of déja-vu jewelry! A diamond may not be a girl's best friend, but it does not hurt. If you are looking for a more masculine piece, I recommend this striking ring that was inspired by jewelry hand-forged in the days of yore. By the way, Shade Jewelry's diamonds are non-conflict, so you can enjoy their beauty without offending your conscience (yay!).

Before everyone complains that I skipped the best part of the holiday, here is a piece inspired by my favorite Valentine's Day activity, eating chocolate! This chocolate love bubble charm from The Cutting Edge reads, "forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate." Which is better, chocolate or love? You decide. Hmm... what about falling in love with chocolate?

Have a wonderful romantic or non-romantic Valentine's everyone!
