A Valentine's Day Toast


This is no ordinary Valentine's Day toast. There's no champagne, no raising of glasses, just a slice of bread, a toaster, and this 'I love you' stamp from Archie McPhee Toys.



Go a step further and there's the 'I love you' toaster. Its sure to bring a smile and might even help settle those maritial disputes. The 'I love you' toaster features a removable bread crumb tray, variable browning control, and cool touch walls. Find it at Play.com.



For a truly romantic toast, the kind with champagne, there's the amazing blooming Hibiscus flower. Drop a Hibiscus flower into anything bubbly and the edible bud actually blooms into a beautiful flower. Each jar contains eleven blooms floating in a sweet, pinkish syrup. Simply place one in your champagne flute, pour in some of the syrup, and then fill it with sparkling wine, sparkling water, champagne, or anything with a bit of fizz. As the bubbles stream off the bud it gradually opens up into a spectacular, crown-shaped flower. And what's more, once you've emptied the glass you can actually eat the bloom! It has a delicious raspberry and rhubarb flavor that compliments the champagne. The jar contains 11 flowers and can be purchased at www.firebox.com/product/1984/Wild-Hibiscus-Flowers.

Valentine's Day Desktop Wallpaper 2

(click to enlarge to 1280x960)

A young woman sits quietly at a small desk near a sun draped window. She has scribed a letter to send to her distant lover on Valentine’s Day. She carefully removes the satin pink ribbon from her hair and secures the letter with a bow, then delicately places the letter into an envelope that she’s decorated with roses, hearts and romantic sentiments. She seals the flap with a dab of wax and a kiss. Her head tilts to one side, her eyes distant and dreamy, as the sun casts light upon her tight brown curls, she longs for the moment when she will once again be in the arms of her lover.
