Say it in glass. A rich red heart, veined with white and flashes of rose, sits in a clear gift box with I Love You printed on the lid. It is the gift for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or an ordinary Tuesday when they need reminding.

Unlike roses, this one is still there next February. The message is on the box and the heart itself is unmarked, so it can hang in a window or beside a bed as a piece of art glass whose meaning only the two of you know.

Each heart is blown by mouth in Eastern Europe in the old friendship-heart way, so shade and pattern vary from piece to piece and from the photos. About 8cm (3 inches) across, with a hanging ribbon and a To and From tag. Fine for display inside or out.
