The Bronx Zoo has a very unique Valentine's gift if you're stuck for ideas, or if you just really hate or valentine...

This year has seen the return of the zoo's Name-a-Roach program this, a Madagascar hissing cockroach will be named in honor of your other half/ hated one with a $10 donation.

Your Valentine won't actually receive the a roach, just a certificate informing them of the honour you've placed upon them. Proceeds from your roach purchase will go toward the Wildlife Conservation Society's efforts to preserve species and natural areas around the world.

Madagascar roaches are nearly four inches long, and they hiss. Bronx Zoo insists that the not-so-cute fellas are just "misunderstood love bugs."

So go ahead and make someones Valentines Day, name a roach after them.
