Valentine's Day means a renewed search for the gift that won't become a cliche. When roses, chocolates and wine have become old and repetitive, you may want something newer and more original to add to your significant other's gift-box.

This year, you can try Tshirts for couples.

T-shirts for couples come in paired designs - either identical, two halves of a whole, or two images that complement each other when seen together.

Identical outfits draw appreciation even if couples wear identical outfits for years on end, as record-holding couples have found out over years and decades. While any identical Tshirts will raise your "aw-potential", identical outfits with Valentine's Day themes are guaranteed to make you the center of attention.

If you want to make a slightly different statement, why not go for the halves-of-a-whole look? "Blackberry" Tshirt pairs, with "Black" on one shirt and "Berry" on another, promise to be quite the rage this Valentine's Day - in colors that vary from blue, brown, green and grey to black and many more. You can pick Tshirts in the same color/cut or different, depending on your personal preferences.

For a somewhat subtler way to match outfits, you could pick matching graphics. A "scooter boy" Tshirt on its own, for example, looks fine even when you don't have a "scooter girl" at your side. But having the scooter couple together will create quite an impact, as well as an "a-HA!" moment for people who see one half of the couple first, and both together later.

Other than matching pairs, there are unique ways to declare your love for your significant other through Tshirts - without resorting to fabric paint, brush and your own painting skills.

T shirts with love messages on them can be beautiful things to wear on a Valentine's Day date. The love arrow, identical "falling in love" messages, text describing a lovable trait of your significant other... there is an endless variety of Tshirts that can be worn to celebrate this special day with your loved one.

For people who do not want to be too cheesy, a good way to go is to pick matching or opposing slogans for themselves and their significant others. Proverbs with similar meanings - "beauty is only skin deep" and "clothes don't make a man", for example, show that both halves of the couple are sporting the same statement for the day. If you wish to be somewhat goofy - or to set a few people thinking - you can sport proverbs that mean exactly opposite things, such as "A rolling stone gathers no moss" and "a standing stick never gains space".

In today's world, only the most orthodox idealists will argue that appearances don't matter. The rest of us know that appearances DO matter - occasionally more than what is beneath the surface. To create the best possible impression on Valentine's Day, wear matching Tshirts and just keep watching as your friends - and even some random people in the street - ooh and aah at how cute and compatible you look!
