VALENTINE'S DAY?!?! Creative Objects that Say "It" Without Being Lame

Posted by robin on 02/11/2008

LAME. LAME. LAME.

LAME. LAME. LAME.

On Thursday I'm supposed to eat chocolates in the bathtub and wear pink gauzy slips. I should write unabashed love letters and curl my hair.

Too bad I have no gas heat and take out my grating, whining, shivering frustrations on any "nice boy" in a 50 mile radius. I also have no chocolate.

I assuaged my disgruntled yelps with a bout of Valentine's Day Internet Skulking. These items say "I LOVE YOU" in their own unique-and-beautiful-snowflake way...

The Egg Pants Egg Cup from the MoMA store says, "I love you, please remember who wear the pants in this relationship."

Warming Heart is full of organic wheat that you destroy (read: heat) in the microwave. This makes no sense to me. But then again, love is not a rational emotion.

Wind-Up Pet is composed of "replenishable and preservative free rubberwood." Built-in term of endearment.

The Ravioli Chair gives visual form to memories of my old Italian relatives enveloping me boisterously in large mounds of inescapable flesh. In this case, it is fiberglass and foam.

Hug Salt and Pepper Shakers.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm just not very sweet."

This is a design for blank greeting cards from Etsy. For serious business, cut-to-the-chase folks.

I'd take Nuit Blanche x Keith Haring Chocolate Box from Collette Paris over chalky Russell Stover sweets any day. Any day I felt like flying to Paris for a Keith Haring chocolate fix, that is...

The First UglyShirt based on the character Jeero from the Uglydolls plush series. Thanks to Giant Robot for this tip.

And last, but not least, our own FOREVER AND EVER tunic, designed by Alex Da Corte.

I feel warmer already.
Sigh...
