'Sweet Art' for your sweetheart- Gift Guide For him and her

If your looking to spoil your sweetie with something other then chocolate and flowers this Valentine's day then get them a unique gift that really show them how much you care!

Now if you were to buy your valentine flowers this would be the perfect gift to accompany it.  It's a vase, but not just any vase. This vase has love written all over it, you may not be able to tell because it is written in braille.  Artist, Jessica Lertvilai started the 'Love is Blind' project, which is a collection of love letters which are transcribed into braille and then transferred into a relief pattern, which is put onto the surface of the vase. A piece your loved one will cherish forever $90
