Valentine’s Day is almost here and everyone wants to make money from it.

Here are my top 5 Valentine’s funny Valentine’s products:

It’s amazing the things that some companies will develop in the hope of getting a bit of press space this time of year.

1)  The heart shaped Half Cucumber.  Sainsbury’s  has introduced this new vegetable which we can only assume is to be served with a heart shaped salad.

2) The  Pie. The “Aphro-piety”  mixes chicken thigh, perry cider and asparagus in a lemon-infused cream sauce    This delicious Pie is made from aphrodisiac ingredients.   So eating it is supposed to get you in the mood for love.

3) “”I’m Just a Love Machine” boxer shorts on sale at Poundland.  The perfect romantic gift.

4) Two Steak Meals a bottle of wine for £14.99 at Wetherspoons.   Just the place for a candlelit dinner….in the company or all the students and old men nursing their pints.

5) The Gun Swap.  Believe it or not, but a shop in Alabama is offering to exchange sex toys for guns this Valentine’s Day.

Personally, if you want to still be together next Valentine’s Day I’d stick to the more traditional flowers and chocolates! If you’ve seen a more ridiculous Valentine’s Cash In – let us know here!

Here’s a tip for all you single guys that should help you get more dates.

Apparently all you need to do is crank up your stereo when you are on the phone!

This test was set up by the Psychology of Music Journal in France. Researchers played a love song in the background when a single man asked a selection of girls out.

A whopping 52% of these women agreed to go out with this perfectly average man.  When the researchers played a neutral tone then the success rate fell to just 30%.

The song chosen was “Je ‘aime a mourir” (I love her until I die) which is a well-known love song by French songwriter Francis Cabrel.

The theory is that romantic music can affect your internal state and put you in the mood for love.  Of course, further research is needed to prove this to be true, but there’s no harm in trying it out as men often need all the help they can get!

So ladies, I ask you this:  What love song do you like best?   Which one would start getting thinking romantic thoughts?

Please post your favourite songs as comments on the end of this blog.  It would be really interesting to find out!

Happy Dating,
