| According to the 1976 classic track by Candi Staton, a soul singer from the US, "Young Hearts Run Free" - and while it's a sentiment that certainly rings true, it can arguably be taken in so many different ways. The song itself speaks of an unhappy relationship; filled with children, but where the man is "busy loving every woman that he can". In contrast, Ms Stanton calls for these young hearts to run free, with the warning to "never be hung up, hung up like my man and me".
It's a sad tale, but a cautionary one; after all, all hearts - whether young or otherwise - should ensure that their love life is an enriching and fulfilling experience, filled with love, laughter and plenty of thoughtful Valentines Gifts. Indeed, the song's title could also be interpreted that young hearts should be free to be whatever they want to be, whether they're in a relationship or not.
The world of Valentines Gifts can be a difficult and complex one. And so, irrespective of whether or not ones heart is young, it's important to ensure that Valentines Gifts create the right impression - after all, nobody really wants to receive Valentines Gifts that don't accurately reflect their own individual tastes.
However, if you're looking for Valentines Gifts that specifically address the wants, desires and sensibilities of young hearts, why not go for something a little bit fun and unusual? After all, there is plenty of time before you need to go choosing Valentines Gifts of a more serious kind.
For the ultimate in quirky Valentines Gifts, why not indulge his or her taste for modern technology with a MoPod? And if you're buying Valentines Gifts for her, you could even give the Little Miss Naughty MoPod a try. Created in Japan - where else? - MoPods are one of the best Valentines Gifts around for anyone who loves to always keep in touch, even when their mobile phone is tucked away in a bag or pocket and on silent. Despite measuring only 60mm, these handy little gizmos are able to tell when a mobile phone is receiving a call, a text message, an email, or even a voicemail message alert. MoPods actually work by paying attention to GSM signals within the frequency range of 800 - 1600 MHz.
It's not clear how much of a role mobile phone culture in Japan plays in the sending of Valentines Gifts, but it is likely that a majority of the country's population now own their own mobile phone device. Japanese mobile phones are also literally jam-packed with a whole host of great features; in addition to the types of features commonly found on mobile phones in Europe and America, Japanese handsets can also incorporate features such as crime prevention buzzers, fingerprint or face recognition and the ability to watch television.
Interestingly, in part because talking on a mobile phone whilst making use of public transport is frowned upon in Japan, using mobile phones as a device for the sending of emails is incredibly popular - indeed, even outside of Japan where it is also possible to send emails from a mobile phone handset, emails could make excellent virtual Valentines Gifts for a loved one - and with the aid of a MoPod, they'll know exactly when it arrives.
Alternatively, if you're looking for Valentines Gifts for the man in your life, you could always opt or a gift of a slightly saucier kind. If this is the case, why not give the Cheeky Chicks Personalised Calendar a try? Featuring a lovely new lady every single month of the year, each picture is personalised with a name of your choice. And as this slightly risquift is available in three different formats, it's a perfect choice for use from either the wall or the desk.
Whatever your choice of Valentines Gifts though, just remember Candi Staton's wise words about young hearts. They need to run free, so you should always make sure that the special person in your life is able to develop and grow into the person they really want to be - and they should make sure that they do that for you too. |
