We Irish have such a strong admiration for bacon that we are genuinely surprised we didn't come up with this idea ourselves. 

It was in fact two Floridians who came up with the idea of bacon roses that well frankly, we would be delighted to receive this Valentine's Day. 

"I made bacon roses as a birthday gift, and delivered it to a busy office last January," said creator Logan Rae. 

"By February, employees and my co-workers were requesting them for Valentine's day. The sales became too much to handle, so Kimmie Hruda joined me and we created Bacon Boxes."

Bacon. Boxes. That is pure genius. 

"We've received a lot of excitement in response to our products – it's a totally new product unavailable anywhere else, we couldn't be more proud," said Logan to the Mirror. 

"We've been referred to as the Louis Vuitton of bacon and generally as the 'best in bacon', so often that it became our punchline."

Know anyone who would fancy these on Valentine's Day?
