New Valentine's gifts are offered
Dead flowers and cow chips could surprise your special one
By Jeff Suggs
Deduct: No.
Traditionalists beware.
For people who have come to expect a bouquet of flowers or a box of candy on Valentine's Day, there might be a surprise in store this year. And the surprise might not be pleasant.
Two groups in Lawrence are offering alternatives to the typical Valentine's Day fare.
The Lawrence Jaycees are selling chip-o-grapes this year. For $5, a person can send a loved one a cow chip with a Valentine's Day greeting. The chip-o-grapes offers such greetings as, "You're a real chip off the ole block — Happy Valentine's Day!"
Lois Mead, who takes orders for the chip-o-grams, said it was not meant to be a malicious gift.
"We hope it doesn't get malicious," Mead said. "We don't want to get anyone's feelings hurt at all."
Mary Warner, chairman of the chip-o-gram project for the Jaycees, said the gift was intended for people who wanted to do something different for Valentine's Day.
"I think the students get kind of crazy, so they might get kind of crazy to do this," Warner said. She said
money from sales of the chip-ograms would go to charity.
Sweet Revenge sells bouquets of dead flowers. For $5, a person can get a mixed arrangement of dead flowers. A mixed arrangement with six dead roses costs $7.50, and a dozen dead roses cost $10. The bouquet comes with a Valentine's message and is wrapped in black tissue paper.
