Apple Gift BoxFebruary 14th: a day that shall live in infamy.

Or not. Depending on what kind of presents you bring your significant other. Now, we know that Scott’s predicted something Apple-related being announced on Valentine’s Day this year, and while we have no idea whether or not that’s true, we do know that Apple isn’t about to ignore this pinkest of holidays.

For one thing, they’ve got this snazzy table explaining when you’ll have to order your loved one’s gifts by in order to get them delivered by the 14th, with the options of both standard and overnight shipping. They’re also offering free laser engraving on any iPod, including the new chromatic iPod shuffles, and free gift boxing until February 14th for the wrapping-impaired.

And, in case you’re wondering: a laser-engraved green iPod shuffle for the MacUser crew would not go unappreciated this Valentine’s Day.

hi, the *snazzy table* link has your account information in it (not logged out from Apple Store). Please be careful!

It does seem to have someone's info in it, though not mine strangely enough. Working to fix it, but the Apple Store, rather annoyingly, doesn't give you any way to logout. Thanks for the notice, though.

Did I miss something? Don't iPods always come with free laser engraving when you order them from the Apple Store? I seem to remember that option being pretty standard, at least with my last 2 purchases.

Link fixed. Though that was harder than it should have been. Thanks, Apple.

The gift wrap is the emphasis here: you get free snazzy gift wrapping

Engraving is always free, but the gift wrapping is a nice touch.
