Nothing says "Return my CD's" quite like a Valentine's candy heart. Credit: Despair, Inc.

Not everyone feels lovey-dovey about Valentine's Day; some of us have been burned by love, and we're looking for a way to express our angst on February 14. Here are three clever Valentine's Day gift ideas for you or for a brokenhearted friend.

Sometimes, people suck, love hurts, and all the candy hearts in the world cannot make it better. For those times? BitterSweets (pictured above) come emblazoned with phrases like "Dork Magnet" and "Return My CDs." Brilliant. Available for $20 from Despair, Inc.

Are you the type who wears your heart on your sleeve? Wear it on your chest this Valentine's Day, with a clever "No Way" conversation heart tee. Available for $29.95 at Zazzle.

And for the friend who needs a pep talk as much as a date night, pick up a copy of "50 Boyfriends Worse Than Yours." That should make her feel better. Available at Buy.com for $9.04.
