Snap-happy sweethearts, have we got a Valentine's gift for you. Reminiscent of the candy grams once sent to classmates, Lovestagram adds a heart, pink toy camera, or cinnamon candy border to favorite Instagram shots.

Created by Kaitlyn Trigger, who happens to be the longtime love of one of the Instagram founders Mike Kreiger, Lovestagram selects photos you and the Instagram user of your affection have both liked or commented on to use in one of the three borders. The relevant comment that appeared on the original Instagram photo appears with the Lovestagram, as well as a personalized sweet note.
