Check your calendar: Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Whether you're the type who goes all out (a fancy dinner reservation, ordering flowers — the works!) or you like to play it low-key (dinner at home and homemade goodies), we have a gift idea for you. Drew Barrymore's heart-shaped Dutch oven would be a thoughtful present for the home cook, baker or host, and it's just $40.

Gift this stunner as is, or surprise your sweetie with a home-cooked meal inside. Either way, you're sure to earn some brownie points. (Oh yeah, you could also use it to make a big brownie for a decadent dessert.)
For any home chef, a Dutch oven is an essential piece of cookware for searing and braising meats, simmering stews, baking bread and more. But this heart-shaped piece is attractive enough to act as a server too, or to be left out on the stove like decor — it really is that pretty.
The Beautiful Cast Iron Heart Dutch Oven is just right for a romantic dinner at 2 quarts — sized for two to three servings. The enameled surface reduces sticking, and you don't need to season it like other cast iron. It's oven-safe up to 500°F, and the handles make it easy to pick up (yes, with oven mitts on!).

Choose from five colors: Merlot, Pink Champagne, Lavender, Porcini Taupe and Black Sesame. Each has a gold heart-shaped knob on top. All colors are in stock now, but don't wait. They tend to sell out, especially closer to V-Day!
This Dutch oven can do pretty much anything — like putting a smile on your sweetie's face this Valentine's Day. (Walmart)
More than 900 Walmart shoppers say this stunning cookware made their heart go pitter-pat, awarding it a perfect five stars.
One said: "This Dutch oven is so cute. ... It was a steal compared to other cast iron heart-shaped Dutch ovens. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. It is a compact pot so you can't make large batches, but I have already used it for sautéing pierogies and onions, and I have made a veggie and shrimp noodle bowl. It worked nicely for both dishes and was easy to clean. ... My hubby calls it the love pot — even he thinks it's cute!"
"So beautiful!" shared another. "Will elevate any dish you make! Also a perfect gift for a friend or a relative that enjoys cooking."

"What a beautiful Dutch oven," said a third buyer. "It is very very well-made and very unique. I bought it for Valentine's Day and I have it sitting on my stove top for decor. I have not cooked with it yet, but the look and the quality of it is beautiful."
Some shoppers note that this isn't the pot you'll feed the whole family from. "I wish it was bigger, but I still love it," explained one. "I hesitated knowing I was getting a 2-quart cast iron, I couldn't resist not getting this and what can I say? It's so darn cute."

You could choose a traditional Valentine's Day color like red or pink, but this Porcini Taupe is a sophisticated neutral that lends itself to year-round use.
