'You Need Nothing' is a minimal website that takes a stand against the notion that people need to be buying roses, chocolates and jewelry on Valentine's Day. Instead, it's promoting the 'Nothing Box,' to "remind you of everything you already have."
The Nothing Boxes are stamped with unique serial numbers from 91 to 150 and can be purchased online for about 29 Euros.
The Nothing Box is just a plain black rectangle that doesn't even hint at anything love or romance-related. If you know that your significant other is looking forward to a special gift on Valentine's Day, you may want to think very carefully before you decide to order them a big black box of nothing.
