Procrastinators, techies, and Casanovas, lend me your ears! I can make you look good by giving a gift that shows both your inner geek and your creativity, but you gotta act fast.

Engraved iPods

Buy an iPod today and you can get it engraved for free. You get 27 characters across two lines, which makes a haiku seem like an epic, but eventually I came up with the simple "Let's share the music" for my husband.

Love Masterpiece

If you're not crazy about digital photography crafts but your significant other is, let them have a field day with a boxed gift set from Photofiddle. Photofiddle lets you take an ordinary digital photo and apply spectacular effects. Transform a photo into a watercolor, an oil painting, or a charcoal drawing, for example. The results are great. The gift card comes nicely wrapped with a sample of Photofiddle art, your gift certificate, and VIP support to help your fiddler.

The Telltale Heart

Over at ThinkGeek, where they seem to find everything from HTTPanties to DIY Blood Typing Kits, I fell for the LED Flashing Sweetheart Kit. It comes with a circuit board, 28 LEDs, and various diodes and resistors you solder together to create a true gift from the heart and hands.
