Some are
worried, according to the article, the prices will keep rising as demand
increases. To that we say, worry no more. Chocolate for V-Day is so
blah anyway, right? You don't see any of your favorite celebs giving
their boo's chocolate, do you? No. You don't. That's because they're too
busy buying these lavish gifts instead. We say screw chocolate. Take a
hint from these spendy celebs and spice up your Valentine's Day
gift-giving game. Or at least, join us in crying over all the amazing
V-Day gifts you'll never be able to afford to give someone ever. Enjoy!

recommended to Channing that he buy his wife jewelry from famous
