The humongous [horror fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) over at the Eat Your Heart Out blog are starting a pop-up shop in London that features the anatomically correct Valentines. The start-up is being run under the guise of Anatomical Snuff Box. The start-up is being sponsored by Kraken Rum, so the combination of gore and booze should give a few clues into the target demographic for these visceral Valentine’s gifts. The incredible [crocheted hearts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-heart) are the work of textile artist Kate Jenkins. The ceramic heart-shaped cocktail sharer is the work of Bespoke Barware. What better way to say ‘I love you’ this February with a bunch of literally heart shaped crochets and ceramics? It’s all part of a horrific anatomically correct Valentine’s Day! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anatomically Correct Gifts:** Developing anatomically correct gifts can appeal to horror culture enthusiasts who appreciate unique gift experiences. - **Pop-up Shops:** Creating a pop-up shop can be a disruptive innovation for retailers to attract niche customers with temporary and exclusive shopping experiences. - **Sponsorship Marketing:** Partnering with sponsors can be a lucrative opportunity to gain financial support and collaborative exposure for niche products. ### Where This Applies - **Textile:** Textile artists can create unique gift items by exploring anatomical designs using crochet or other techniques. - **Barware:** Crafting anatomical designs for unconventional cocktails or drinkware can generate new industry opportunities for barware makers. - **Alcoholic Beverage:** Partnering with artists to create customized packaging or merchandise designs can offer a creative edge for alcohol brands to market their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Valentine's Beef Jerky Hearts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meathearts.md) - [Unconventional Valentine Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-disingenuous-romance-day-valentine-card.md) - [Naughty Valentines Day Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-wood.md) - [3D-Printed Valentine's Day Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-bonbons.md) - [His-and-Her Underwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-heart.md) - [Exclusive Handmade Gift Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladies-you-love-valentines-day-set.md) - [Practical Valentine’s Day Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-card-bath-bar.md) - [Spicy Valentine’s Day Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/some-love-it-hot-valentines-day-set.md) - [Heart-Themed Cookware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-5.md)
