Looking for some inspiration for a Valentine’s Day gift? Take an idea from your fellow Americans, who are searching for some sweet and hilarious gifts to give their loved ones this year.

Coupon Lawn analyzed Google Trend statistics on frequent searches around Valentine’s Day to determine the most popular gifts for every state.

Some gift ideas were adorable, if potentially ill-advised (definitely don’t get someone a puppy who isn’t prepared for one). Many states kept it classic, looking for ideas for chocolate or romantic dinners. Others, like Connecticut, veered into dangerous territory with a yoga mat present.

For a creative idea that could make or break your relationship, look to Iowa, where people are searching for tandem bicycles. Alabama is equally inspired, with naming a star being a popular idea.

Some searches are definitely appropriate to the state—a weighted blanket sounds like a particularly appropriate gift for an Alaska winter.

Not sold on any of these ideas? Check out our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for further inspiration.
