Look of the Week: Local Valentine's Gifts for Her

This year, skip the flowers and box chocolates and, instead, step it up with a thoughtful gift that's perfect for her. We pulled from SF's best and found hip, fun Valentine's Day gifts for every personality.
If your lady loves all things stylish and chic, get her Hlaska's latest check wallet (#1) with embossed red-hot leather.
Whether she's a beauty queen, or just a super practical type who likes things she can use, she'll love Marie Veronique Organics' Anti-Aging Oil and Everyday Sheer Coverage with SPF 20 Set (#2).
If you love her for her killer sense of humor, the "Sweet Tits" engraved heart necklace at Azalea (#3) is daring and will definitely make for a good laugh.
For the kitchen queen who loves entertaining, the Hidden Animal Teacups (#4) from Palo Alto's ACME Party Box Co. are a sure win. Tip: they're sold separately so spring for a few of them a make it a set.
If DIY is your lady's game, or if her greatest love (after you, of course) is this great city, then try the SF Stamp Set (#5), available at Candystore Collective.
For hopeless romantic and book snobs alike, Chronicle's Me Without You (#6) is sure to get a stellar review.
Last, but not least, if your lady's a dog lover or the sporty type, you can't go wrong with Timbuk2 (#7).

Some of these are cute ideas and others...not so much...What you need on this list is this adorable idea from Pottery Barn: it's a love letter envelope...& how much sweeter of a gift it'd be if it already had some love letters in it *hint hint* *wink wink* > http://www.skinnyscoop.com/list/beehiveblog/queen-bee-picks-14-valentine...
