DIY Condom Roses

Straightforward Valentine's Day Gifts for Your Sweetie

— January 2, 2009 — Naughty
What could be a more “to the point” gift than a bouquet of condom roses for your valentine lover?

If you decide to follow the instructions (see ‘via’ link below) to make your own, you may have to hunt to find condoms with red wrappers, although you could use white-wrapped condoms with red bow accents for the occasion. Keep with a theme and add to your gift with a lovely condom-covered vase in which to present your condom roses if you fear that a vaseless bouquet is simply not enough.

There are no guarantees that the condoms will be fully functional after all the bending and taping that goes into making the rose. Still, they should be good for a chuckle at least.

For those interested in fundraising and promoting safe sex, ready-made condom roses are available by the case from CondomPower. Each rose comes with a gift card attached that has AIDS and STD hotline numbers printed on them. So very handy!

The video above shows condom rose bouquets.
