It might be hard to imagine life beyond the snow globe that Baltimore has become, but Sunday is Valentine's Day. And for those of you who may have waited a bit too long to find the perfect gift may be wondering how you can prove your love, without risking your hide.

So here are a few ideas that could make the more literary-minded lover swoon:

1. Cast yourselves in your favorite book.

Is there a classic romance you know your loved one enjoys? Head over to Project Gutenberg, download the text, and use a simple find and replace search to make it your own personal romance. Literary Compass suggests Pride and Prejudice, Ivanhoe and Jane Eyre, among others.

2. Young (and supernatural) love.

If your into a little bit of fantasy, Novel Novice has a few downloadable valentines featuring themes from "Twilight," "The Vampire Diaries" and "Beautiful Creatures."

3. Kiddies need love, too!

MrsP.com, a site that specializes in storytelling for yongsters, has four valentines for kids. They're bright, fun and a touch nostalgic.

And if you find anymore, send 'em our way!
