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.
