Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A kit with everything you need to create a truly unique homemade Valentine, an LED circuit board heart.
Why we love it:
Anyone can buy a bouquet. Candy? Child's play. Jewelry? Standard. In order to truly impress this Valentine's Day, you need to go above and beyond the call of duty. It was your mother who gave you the best advice. The gifts she loved where always the ones you made yourself. When was the last time you made someone a gift with your own two hands? Probably grade school, and it was probably for your mother. Well, Valentine's Day is a great time to end that streak, and this LED heart is a great way to end it. The LED Flashing Sweetheart Kit contains a circuit board, 28 LEDs and various diodes and resistors you solder together (with your own two hands). Keep in mind that you will need a soldering kit, so the terminally uncrafty may be better off hiring someone else to do their dirty work. If you can manage it though, it's a geeky labor of love that will touch any heart.
