V-Day Gift: Stiletto Spy School

Stiletto Spy School

Founded by a Vegas gal who couldn't find someone to teach her "how to look tough and sexy in a cat suit", this day-long sex-and-violence course chauffeurs students by limo to undisclosed training locations throughout Manhattan for lessons in everything from lap dancing, to poker skills, to hand-to-hand combat, to firing automatic weapons -- the perfect gift for when you want to completely objectify your woman, then pay the price for it in blood.

Give it to her good at StilettoSpySchool.com
