6. Heart-shaped uterus

Bicornuate uterus, or “heart-shaped uterus,” is a uterine malformation that occurs in between 0.1-0.5% of women. Fortunately, it’s not a cap on fertility or pregnancy: though women with the condition should seek appropriate medical care, 65-85% of them experience no pregnancy complications.

7. Realistic heart-shaped pendant

You’re doing it wrong! Or is that right? This hyperrealistic Etsy pendant, made by Tillybloom, would warm your truelove’s ventricles, if it wasn’t already sold out.

8. “Heart-Shaped Box,” Nirvana

Because we’d be remiss not to include this classic Nirvana video in the mix. Though isn’t the Santa hat a bit out of season?

9. Heart-shaped tornado

Omen of love, or omen of flatland destruction? Or both? This heart-shaped tornado admittedly looks a bit Photoshopped — it’s as if someone mirrored one tornado to make a heart shape — but it still makes for nice eye candy.

10. Heart-shaped cloud of 8 million degree gas

Though some of the other items on this list will work as gifts, in varying capacities, this gas cloud in young star cluster NGC 346, probably not so much. Maybe name a star or something?
