Boys, you could give your lady love a box of candy for Valentine's Day, but that's a real cliché. A more inventive V-day gift is this cute recycled clutch from Ecoist.

The environmentally-friendly label has released this limited edition Red Hearts baguette to commemorate the big day. And when I say limited edition, I mean limited edition. Just 20 of these purses were made, and at $49.50 I don't expect them to last long.

If you do manage to get your hands on one, you should be pleasantly surprised. The woven candy wrapper design is amazingly strong, and water resistant to boot. It's a little narrow to be truly practical, but it is fully lined and secured with a zip. Girls can carry it as a clutch, or attach the short strap and use it as a wristlet.

It may not make the impression that diamonds or French champagne might, but for boys on a budget this exclusive Ecoist purse is a hard gift to beat.
