Why say “I love you” with ordinary roses, when you could say “I love you and here’s some meat?” The Steak Bouquet is brought to us by British butcher Antony Bowness of Gloucestershire, England. Made from strips of sirloin, it should get the point across to the meat lover in your life.
Have a happy Valentine’s Day… even if you are getting meatless roses.
Brought to us by Vans — again — is a Cheeseburger Sneaker. Only this time, the sneaker makers teamed up with French ‘arbiters of cool,’ Colette, and American photographer Mark Hunter, aka The Cobrasnake. The result — fancy cheeseburger-inspired footwear created to coincide with NYC Fashion Week. And there’s laces this time.
The Cheeseburger Sneakers will go on sale March 1 at Colette during Paris Fashion Week.

If the scent of denim and human isn’t good enough for your jeans, Canada-based Naked & Famous Denim created Scratch-n-Sniff Raspberry Scented Denim. The jeans are coated with mini microcapsules, that when scratched, release the rather unmanly scent of raspberries.
According to the manufacturer, the scent will last up to five wash cycles. So for most guys, expect the raspberry smell to last about 4 months.

If you have trouble expressing yourself every February 14, or simply do not possess any golden tones, Kraft spokesman Ted Williams is here to help. The former homeless man, turned internet sensation and voice of Kraft Mac & Cheese, will read your Valentine’s message with a voice that will make your lover melt.
Simply tweet your message of love, in 140 characters or less, with the tag #VoiceOfLove. The best 100 tweets will be read aloud and silkily by Mr. Williams, and will be the perfect accompaniment to your Valentine’s meal — hopefully not Mac & Cheese.

Cakes Throughout U.S. History is brought to us by America’s Test Kitchen. The infographic/timeline starts with America’s humble beginnings of the Boston Creme Pie and Baked Alaska, hits a bit of a snag during the Jell-O-obsessed 1950s, and wraps up with the Smith Island Cake and its layers of awesomeness.
