What to get for the Valentine that has everything:
Nothing Says ‘I Love You’ like Roach Chocolates
The beloved—or hated, depending whom you ask—Valentine’s Day is just a week away. Still looking for that something special to give your Valentine? Maybe you’re trying to impress that darling you hope will be your love for good? Look no further than the Bronx Zoo, with its, um, unique gift any girl would treasure. Introducing roaches, two ways (one of them edible).
First, name one of the Bronx Zoo’s 58,000 Madagascar hissing roaches after your loved one. Yes, this is totally serious, and best of all, it’s just $10 per naming—a gift anyone can afford. Not sure what moniker-giving approach to take? Follow the zoo’s advice: “Don’t be afraid to get creative! Maybe you want to name the roach in honor of [your sweetheart’s] boss? Her least favorite teacher or talk show host? Or maybe your Valentine loves wildlife of all kinds and would consider a creepy-crawly namesake an honor.”
Your honey will know you care by the e-card, beautifully decorated with roaches (shown at left), that he or she receives explaining your gift.
If one roach just doesn’t say “I Love You” like two does, add a Cocoa-Roach for a few extra bucks. These edible insects are actually pretty cool. (Check them out below.) For just $15 more, you get hand-painted chocolate roaches done by chocolatier Sabrina Berkowitz of The Chocolate Box NYC. It’s a spin on your typical heart-shaped box of treats for sure.
