Ok, I HAVE to do an Offbeat Valentine’s gift guide. That said, strange love rarely comes in structural form, so for now you’re gonna have to make do with some oddball gifts outside of the architectural genre.
Not much says a weird I love you like one of The String Doll Gang from Kamibashi. Some good choices for a super lovable heart day…
Love shaped rubberbands – maybe for your office mate? The one you know you shouldn’t flirt with? Hmmm.
Dream Wedding Tin Bank – SO tacky that I sort of like it.
How overrated are cute little stuffed bears? Very. Monster Colin is way more lovable, in a zoned out sort of way.
Magic Frog to Prince – At this point I might keep it in frog form.
Bonus links:
- See the weirdest (and sort of disturbing) vintage Valentine EVER. I have no words.
- And dysfunctional candy hearts – why, because the real ones have always annoyed me.
Later an Offbeat Valentine card round up AND if I can manage it, some actual structural valentine ideas.
Yikes. That’s some vintage Valentine! I’ve never seen one that wasn’t cute.
Yup kind of totally freaks you out huh.
