VALENTINE'S
Bean sprouts love note
So you messed up on Valentine's Day with nothing in hand for your sweetie.
The Message Bean, a plant that sprouts a bean bearing a laser-imprinted message of love, might just be a chance to redeem yourself and let your love continue to grow.
There's one bean per container and no indication what specimen you're nurturing. Therefore, it's anyone's guess what will take root -- a bit like dating.
Of course, it does take seven days for the "I Love You" bean to break ground. In the meantime there's always chocolate, wine, roses, dinner at her or his favorite restaurant, jewelry, poetry, plane tickets for two to Paris and more for good leverage. (Make sure to hold onto that passenger ticket for yourself.)
Pick up a Message Bean at As Seen on TV, Ward Warehouse, for $9.95.
