Valentine's Gifts for Crime Fiction Lovers

If you're struggling with ideas for Valentine's Day gifts for your sweetie, and said sweetie happens to be a fan of crime fiction, here are some ideas that just might help. After all, who needs plain, boring chocolate?

Nothing says love like a handgun, or at least a chocolate one. The website chocolateweapons.com has several models to choose from, like this one based on the classic 1911 Colt .45 ACP, a full pound of milk chocolate in its own little carrying case. And if you want, you can add some chocolate ammo.

Or maybe you prefer chocolate handcuffs from The Chocolate Delicacy, boxed with foil wrapped hearts. Because Fifty Shades of Grey, right?


If your beloved is allergic to chocolate, and you have a lot more to spend, why not give a 18k gold plated or rhodium plated curb chain with 18mm rivoli swarovski crystal and a handcuff clasp?



For the budget-minded, this coffee mug will have your lover ready to share a cup of latte with you and possibly quite a bit more.


For a gift that's even a mystery to you, try the Love is Blind Valentine's Day Mystery Box. According to the merchant, it contains a "seriously romantic selection of gifts that are guaranteed to extend your relationship for another 365 days, but it also absolves you of any responsibility because even you don't know what's inside."

For Sherlock fans, you can get a "Sherlock Fan Club Certificate Microscope 221B Baker Street Personalized Sherlock Holmes London England Fan Art Detective Mystery Geekery." Your sweetie's very own certificate to the 221B Fan Club to let everyone know they're Sher-locked.
