Feb 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Okay, so it will soon be Valentine’s Day again, and you have no idea what to get your true love. Maybe you have been together for a while and the candy, roses, and cards just seem to be getting old. Or perhaps you have just started in a relationship with a special person who stands out from the crowd and you are looking to get them something different, for their individual personalities. I thought for this particular Valentine’s article I would try to help you find that one gift that would be just as unique and special as your Valentine.

The first idea that I have for you to consider is one which I actually heard of a few years ago. In the small town where I was living, during Christmas, they had something on town’s square called a “Lite a Lite Tree.” What this tree actually was, a cedar tree which still stands there today. The people of the town would purchase a “Lite-a-Lite” in honor of someone, or in someone’s name. Some couples bought one in the new baby’s name for their first Christmas, other people bought them in memory of their loved ones who had passed on. They were a dollar apiece, and sold all over town and in the local paper. You paid your dollar, and got a receipt, and a light would be lit in honor of the person you named. By Christmas Eve night, the tree was, and still is, always full of brightly twinkling lights. Well, sometime during this event, it was mentioned that it would be neat to be able to name a star after someone.

Well, as you may already know, you actually can name a star in honor of a person of your choice. A simple google search found several websites which allow you to do this. One of these was www.NameAStarLive.com. On this site, for $19.95, you can name a star, view the star live online using a telescope which is controlled robotically, get a photo of your star and much more.  They have several different gift sets to choose from, and all of them have a certificate of the star bearing your name. What a cool gift idea!

While in my quest for gifts that were literally out of this world, I came across another very unique gift idea for those with varied tastes, or for the one who has everything. This one actually came as quite a surprise to me, because I had no idea that you could do this. At http://www.lunarland.com/, you can actually purchase an acre of land on the moon! The purchase is stated to be 100% legal and real. With the gift package for under $30 you can get a deed to your property, a map showing the location, and more. If you use this coupon code, 1057301970 when you check out, you will save 10%. They also have an acre of land from Mars for sale at http://www.buymars.com/ for the same price, and the same coupon code will save you ten percent there as well.

For those whose taste is a little less “out there”, but who still wish to show their Valentine that they are a star in your eyes, http://www.emitations.com/starjewelry1.html has many different pieces of jewelry which features stars, twinkling in beauty for your love. There are also many gorgeous choices for star jewelry here http://www.nextag.com/star-jewelry/products-html

Whether you want to get them a gift that is “far out” or simply put the twinkle back in their star, hearts aren’t the only shape in style this Valentine’s Day. Let your love shine like a star!

As always thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. Comments are appreciated! Happy Valentine’s Day!
