As consumers seek out alternative gifts for loved ones on Valentine's Day, romance bouquet assortments such as these geeky stuffed toy arrangements offer an unconventional substitute. Instead of using fresh flowers, the bouquets are made using miniature stuffed animals featuring characters from the Star Wars saga. The toys are still arranged as if they were flowers to capture the traditional aspect of the bouquet.
The bouquets are an ideal long-lasting alternative to conventional flowers that last from a few days up to a week. The arrangements are themed according to the interests of the receiver featuring popular film characters from cinematic series such as Star Wars or even dinosaurs. The bouquets are arranged with the different plush toys varying in height that are then wrapped up in paper and a bow.
The non-perishable bouquets are available through retailer Think Geek.
