Chuck, I have given that gift in the past, and it has done wonders for a Valentine's Day celebration. Excellent suggestion.
With regards to Monkeys of the Sea... I was the one kid in my hood that got suckered into the pet rock scheme.

I am currently subscribing to the Pet Rock Triathlon Training Plan.
Nothing is happening.
