I know it's pretty 11th-hour right now to start on a DIY Valentine's Day gift...especially one that involves circuitry and LEDs instead of just construction paper and scissors. But even if you're a day or two late with your gifting, this project's "wow!" factor is bound to make your sweetheart forget all about such artificial contrivances as "time" and just focus on the transistor-warming feelings you two are sharing.

If you're technically inclined and interested in making one of these cool touch-activated, pulsating LED heart Valentine cards, blogger and do-it-yourselfer Ian Lesnet was kind enough to include complete instructions, schematics and firmware at diylife.com.
