10 Quirky Valentine’s Day Gifts

Here’s an amazing gift for those who like to wear a little something on the wrist. Wearshare sells their bracelets by the pair; one for you and one to “share”. It’s mostly popular with best friends but now couples are beginning to pick up the trend as well. Not only does this American-made product use 100% recycled yarn, it is also water-resistant.

And the best part? You get to customise yours with your own Facebook and Instagram photographs. Great news for selfie enthusiasts! (Wait, do we really need another place to see this?)

Giving a big bouquet of fresh beautiful roses is a standard tradition on Valentine’s Day. So perhaps this year, try something different for fun! Present your love with one of the four sets available at Dirty Rotten Flowers or even make a bunch yourself. But if you don’t think she would get the joke, you probably don’t want to do this.

Fresh or rotten, maybe flowers are still not your thing so how about going a different direction? Name A Star Live has a range of gift sets for you to symbolically name a star after someone you love. Furthermore, stargazing is a popular couple activity. What could be more romantic than sitting close with your loved one while looking up at the sky and finding “her star” together?

If your partner is less of a romantic and more of a “I love a good laugh” type, you would opt for this gift instead. For US$10, the Bronx Zoo allows you to name one of their 58,000 Madagascar Hissing cockroaches and even get a certificate for it.

But perhaps, this shouldn’t be a standalone gift just in case!

It’s common for lovers to keep something of their partner’s like a photograph or jacket. So why not wear some jewellery with human teeth or hair? This Melbourne-based shop sells unique pieces that may make you raise your eyebrows but you can’t deny its form of beauty. Your partner might also appreciate the uniqueness of your gift.

As if Etsy isn’t already full of quirky stuff .

Why this exists is beyond us but it’s out there and if you’re the joker or the prankster type, perhaps you’d consider it. Whoever came up with “I love you doo” clearly is. Hey, nobody said Valentine’s Day only has room for serious romance!

8. The boyfriend pillowPhoto sourced from activeforever.com

This could be a really sweet sentiment or just plain creepy. It’s basically a pillow that you can sleep with as a body pillow or a neckroll. Its unique shape is perfect for snuggling too. But it also comes with a removable microfiber shirt which, with a little imagination, you can pretend you’re hugging an actual person.

If you’re looking for a laugh (or more), check out the reviews on Amazon.com.

9. Egg and Sperm PlushiesPhoto sourced from curiosite.com

Stuffed toys are one of the top favourite V-day presents. Do away with boring ol’ teddy bears or cute ladybugs and get some Giant Microbes plush toys from ThinkGeek.com instead. This would be perfect if your sweetheart loves science.

Or if you wish to drop her a hint on Valentine’s Day.

For the tech lovers, get this head-scratcher. And no, it’s not that you use it to scratch your head but that’s what you’ll do when you see it. All it does is wiggle and squirm as if some green Kraken is stuck inside your computer and trying to escape. You can’t even store data inside but it sure is a fun thing for the office!
