It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and I was compelled to put another alternative gift list together for those of us looking for something that hasn’t yet been beaten to death by Hallmark. So, here are a few gift choices for the quirkier of recipients, from the organ lover to the fungusphile.

Heart of Gold Metallic Plush ($39). Come correct with this plush heart, complete with razzle-dazzle ventricles. Via the adorably named website IHeartGuts.com.

Tattoo Notebook ($13). This reminds me of adult coloring books with a twist. Sketch out planned or fantasized ink in this body part-filled notebook. Found at suckUK.

Star Wars as told in the style of Shakespeare. Whether ’tis nobler to turn to the Dark Side…Found at Firebox ($18).

Tabasco Chocolate ($8) I love this one because it’s an inexpensive foodie gift with a collectible tin – always feels more substantial to give than a cardboard box of candy. There are even suggested recipes to try with this kind of hot chocolate, such as chili chocolate beef. Found at Firebox.

Grow pink oyster mushrooms in your own kitchen and whip up a plate of pink pasta, risotto, mushroom tempura, or a rosy omelet. $27 from the Espresso Mushroom Company.

Whether you call it a cat cave, hole, bed, house, or vessel — and the Etsy seller who makes these is ok with all of those —   this handmade wool kitty nook is also a nice little home decor item. $53; found at nerdwallet.
