If you're in a bit of a pickle (sorry, we'll show ourselves out now) trying to figure out what to get your love for Valentine's Day, do everyone a favor and skip the flowers and heart-shaped earrings. Instead, we recommend showing your undying love with a DIY bouquet made from pickles. Lots and lots of pickles.

Grillo's Pickles is selling pickle bouquet-building kits for $25.00 so you can organize all your favorite vinegar-soaked cucumbers into a beautiful, tart arrangement. Add some hot Italian dill spears to keep things spicy, and maybe pickle chips cut into the shape of hearts to make the entire thing more festive. The fun is that you get to unleash your creativity and build your bouquet exactly how you -- or your beloved -- would want it.

The kit comes with a coupon for a free jar of Grillo's pickles, 15 wooden skewers, floral foam to hold it all in place, floral tissue paper, a cellophane bag, ribbon, an empty Grillo's container that serves as the vase for the bouquet, artificial floral filler to ensure the bouquet looks full, and a cute folded card for you to scrawl your sweetheart's name on.

May the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Cor. 13:14)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you. (Psalm 122:6)

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus. :pray2

I

pickles too, and so does Sweetie.

I saw this online, but didn't realize it was a "construct it yourself" kit. And for $25 no less. This violates the cardinal rule around our house: "Make It Easy On Your Self!" :pound

Either of us would simply give the other one a 'favorite' jar of pickles, along with some crackers & cheeses, and a card. Put it all in a cute gift bag (and we have some, so we'd likley re-use one on hand), and leave it setting on the kitchen counter. That would be a little more outcome for less effort, so a real win-win in keeping with the rule. :lol

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
