Creative Valentine’s Day Gifts: Hissing Roaches

We all want to be creative on Valentine’s Day, but the Bronx Zoo is taking Valentine’s creativity to a whole new level. For just $10, the Bronx Zoo is giving people a chance to give their Valentine something that will last forever (it can last through a nuclear explosion anyway). What gift is this? A cockroach, what else?!

Currently, the Bronx Zoo is allowing you to name a cockroach after a person of your choice. “The Bronx Zoo is home to 58,000 Madagascar hissing roaches, and for a mere ten-spot, you can slap a moniker on one of them and present a certificate saying you've done just that this Valentine’s Day.” Additionally, for an extra $15 you can add the “Cocoa Roach” to your Valentine’s Day cockroach package. This “Cocoa Roach” is a CHOCOLATE replica of the cockroaches being named for Valentine’s Day. Not only can you have a cockroach named after you, but you can buy its chocolate twin and eat it too! Yum, Yum!

If you’re looking for a creative Valentine’s Day gift, consider naming a Madagascar hissing roach after your loved ones.
