Steak Bouquet: For the Person Who Loves Meat as Much as You Love Them

Not only is this a good idea but if someone asks you what you got your partner for Valentines day you could reply with “I gave her the beef” which I think is a euphemism and a half.

This was created by Antony Bowness of Quality Standard Beef and Lamb which is a butchers in Teweksbury in Gloucestershire:

I get asked every year what I’d like for Valentine’s Day and I never know what to suggest. Soppy cards aren’t really my thing and it got me thinking about what I could make for other men out there like me. I had a ‘Eureka’ moment one day when a customer came in with a bunch of flowers. I started playing around with the idea and realized it was actually quite easy to do! I mean if you can make a dress from meat, then why not a bunch of roses?

It’s that time of year where people get sentimental and soppy, while I’m against the over commercialization of Valentines Day the sentiment it almost acceptable. This project by PaperVine is quite creative transform an old deck of cards into a deck of 52 reasons you love your significant other.

Is there a Valentines equivalent to “Bah Humbug?” I still want to express a certain amount of cynicism for the holiday in general…

Sincere Gift For Valentines Day

I Hate the Valentines day industry but I am still madly in love with you

I can totally get behind this message, Valentines Day is a commercial holiday, it’s got nothing to do with love and everything to do with card companies, restaurants, florists, hotels and resorts and a whole load of other people trying to make a quick buck out of people’s guilt.

Screw that. That said in buying this you are still supporting someone who is taking advantage of Valentines day, they may be marketing to people who hate it but they are harnessing your hate for evil! It’s like selling T-shirts that say Bah Humbug at Christmas, you may want make a statement about Christmas but you are unwittingly being used.

Maybe I’m just being to cynical…
