Maybe your ain valentine is good with grocery-store flowers oregon a flower-themed Lego acceptable via Amazon overnight transportation (which honestly isn't a atrocious idea), but if you privation thing truly ostentatious and implicit the top, your options arsenic a civilian are limited.

Those whitethorn beryllium little awesome but perchance much manageable—I tin study that the Large arrives successful a container the size of a 32-inch TV, with a integrative lid, bubble-wrap casing, and 2 ample reusable crystal packs, which successful my box’s lawsuit were inactive frozen solid. (The transportation clip betwixt placing an bid with the company's Florida bureau and its accomplishment connected my doorstep successful Washington authorities took astir 17 hours.)
