Sure, I realize that no matter how "low-fat" they are, cupcakes are not exactly health food—but they are still my favorite food group. Chocolate stout cupcakes, s'mores cupcakes, jelly donut cupcakes—they're all good. I love to bake cupcakes, decorate cupcakes, read about cupcakes, eat cupcakes (duh)—heck, I would even wear cupcakes if I could.

So, of course, I want must have one of these adorable Vegan Cupcake Baker mugs from CakeSpy. It's the perfect thing for sipping a soy latte while perusing my favorite cookbook.

We've got three of these mugs to give away—and if you ♥ cupcakes as much as I do, I know that you want one. For a chance to win, simply describe the most delectable vegan cupcake flavor you can imagine—whether it's one you've actually eaten or something you just dreamed up. The three most decadent flavors win. Sweet!

The contest ends on July 21, 2010, and we'll select the winners on July 23, 2010. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting.

With Valentine's Day less than a month away, it's about time you started shopping to impress that special someone in your life. Lucky for you, PETA's got all the goods you'll ever need to show your love for your sweetheart, yourself (hey, there's nothing wrong with buying yourself a little something on V-Day), and animals.

1. You've got to wear something while you're celebrating with your Valentine—even if it won't stay on for long. May I suggest our "Vegans Make Great Lovers" T-Shirt (seriously, we do), and Pink Zebra Print Boxer Shorts?
2. Once you're all dressed up down, feast on some humane chocolate from Harbor Candy. We've got a Valentine's Chocolate Deluxe Box and a Valentine's Chocolate Sampler Box for anyone in your life with a sweet tooth.
3. For me, dessert is the main course on Valentine's Day, but for those of you who are sticklers for nutrition, how about a dinner to remember? Vegan restaurants across the country—such as Sublime in Fort Lauderdale, Florida—have plenty of fantastic options for couples, singles, or friends looking to celebrate love.
4. If your night winds down after dinner, warm yourself up inside and out by having a cup of your hot beverage of choice in our rosy mug and cuddling up with PETA's Snuggle Blanket.
5. For those of you looking forward to a late night, how about giving your partner a preview of things to come with our "Vegans Taste Better" Thong?

And we've got a gift for you! Enter the promotion code VDAY over at PETAcatalog.org, and you'll get $5 off a $40 purchase. The code is valid until February 14. Happy shopping!
