Would You Be My Lego Valentine?
Every year, couples try to come up of new ways of making their Valentine’s Day more special than the last. Most do this by giving personalized gifts to each other. This, they feel, makes them different to the other couples around them. However, customized gift-giving has been the norm lately that it has already lost its novelty. Giving a personalized present nowadays does not feel one-of-a-kind anymore because everyone is doing it. Even the so-called customized gifts do not feel personal anymore as there are already too many companies mass-producing templates for such gifts.
Nevertheless, there are still some couples who believe in giving personalized gifts and attempt to break the current trend by giving Lego Valentines gifts. Lego Valentines are Valentine gifts that are made up of Lego blocks. They can range from Valentine hearts and Valentine mosaics to Valentine dioramas depicting perhaps a couple’s memorable date and other Valentine-related Lego sculptures.
One man gave his wife a Lego Valentine mosaic. It had a huge square baseplate that says “Be Mine” and an arched gazebo attached at the lower left corner with two small figures inside representing him and his wife. Another man gave his wife a large Hershey’s Kiss made up of brown Lego blocks.
But there is one woman who made the Lego Valentine a tradition in her relationship. A few years before she and her boyfriend got married, she gave him a heart made of Lego blocks inside a box that was also made of Lego and every year since then, she would add a new layer on it, with different themes each year. For example, for the year 2002, she added an “American flag” layer to commemorate the September 11 terrorist attacks and for their wedding year, she added a white layer.
These instances show that with just a little creativity and resourcefulness, Lego Valentines can be a great and unique way of showing your love to your partner during the most romantic time of the year.
