Warning: Love Spells Ahead

Happy Valentine's Day to all you young lovers. For the romantically inclined, here were the 25 most popular Valentine-related search terms from the past week.

A few points to ponder: Lingerie is a popular query year-round, though a little more so this time of year; for comparison, last week it was slightly more popular than airline tickets. Cupid appears twice, once as Cupid and once as Eros. Poetry makes its usual strong showing, nabbing three spots.

And be careful what you drink: love spells was strong enough to make #25 on our list.

1.   Lingerie
2.   Valentine's Day
3.   Victoria's Secret
4.   Valentines
5.   Love poems

6.   Flowers
7.   Love
8.   Valentine's Day gifts
9.   Valentines crafts
10.  Roses

11.  Valentines cards
12.  Valentines clipart
13.  Candy
14.  Heart
15.  Valentines wallpaper

16.  Valentines poems
17.  Romance
18.  Love tests
19.  Cupid
20.  Love quotes

21.  Love horoscopes
22.  Love letters
23.  Romantic poems
24.  Eros
15.  Love spells
