Valentine’s Day Gift Inspo: Buy a Piece of the Eiffel Tower

Want to really wow bae this Valentine’s Day? Oui? C’est bon - because you can now buy an actual piece of the Eiffel Tower. No le joke.

450 of the 20,000 light bulbs that set the famous tower sparkling each night have been taken down and turned into keepsake gifts - the perfect present for that heart-filled holiday that’s just around the corner.

Bonus: you can write something hella cheesy like ‘you light up my life’ in the card HEYOOOOOO. Maybe write it in French, that looks totally sophisticated.

Each ‘Diamond Light’ ornament comes with a certificate of authenticity, and has its own unique markings and imperfections on the glass. Pretty awesome, hey?

It’s also somewhat of a grand romantic gesture, because this piece of Paris will set you back €540 (£479) plus tax.

So if you reckon you might break up in a month or two, perhaps stick to that cuddly toy. Just saying.
