Imagine your partner’s DNA hanging on the wall. As strange as it sounds a new company has come forward with an amazing process that turns DNA into a stunning piece of modern art. Surely you can’t find many more personal gifts – especially for someone who has everything.
Originally established in Holland, a company here in the UK have just taken over the rights to market the process.
You can choose from a range of products that present your partner’s DNA:
3 sizes of portrait
60 x 40 x 3.8 cm - £415
90 x 60 x 3.8 cm - £590
140 x 90 x 3.8 cm - £745
dnaCode- £1200
To create the dnaCode, your personal code will be etched by laser into a solid, high quality, clear crystal block measuring 12 x 18 x 8 centimetres. The product is a three-dimensional visualization of your DNA.
dnaPhoto - £485
The dnaPhoto is printed on high quality photo paper and is unframed. It is available in the following size (h × w) 60 × 60 centimetres.
So what’s the process?

Whilst the concept may stretch the average pocket, surely this is one of most romantic gift ideas on the market as I type!

When the waiter comes to the table to take their drink order and their date says “I don’t drink,” 62% of single men will order water or soda and skip the alcoholic beverage.

Now here’s an interesting concept and a new spin on dating, FunKards. Set to be the next best thing to internet dating, this simple Australian concept merges traditional ways of dating with 21st century geek technology.
The founders of FunKards had the brainwave of morphing the traditional business card into a formidable dating tool for the very shy. If you like someone, hand them a card! The founders claim it’s simple, discreet, efficient and very charming because everyone is flattered to know someone finds them attractive.
The business card would contain a simple id number and website address, and if the recipient likes the look of the person who handed it to them they can go check them out online. At this stage the site becomes like most dating sites, a romantic networking portal.
