Don’t go for a bog standard gift this Valentine’s, stand out from the crowd by twinning a loo.
Looking for the perfect Valentine’s gift? If you want something quirky yet meaningful and long-lasting look no further than Toilet Twinning.
This Valentine’s Day, twin the toilet of someone special to show them that you care about them and the 2.6 billion people living without a decent loo.
Maybe you’re celebrating your first Valentine’s together and you want to set yourself apart from their ex; or perhaps you’ve bought every combination of flowers, chocolates, perfume and gadgets, and want something new. Either way, Toilet Twinning offers the ideal, ethical solution.
For £60 (less than the average Valentine’s spend) you can twin your partner’s loo. They’ll receive a framed photograph of their twin latrine in Cambodia, Burundi or Democratic Republic of Congo; charity partnership Toilet Twinning puts your donation towards aid and development work in some of the world’s poorest countries.
Toilets may not be traditionally romantic, but if your partner cares about issues such as poverty and inequality they will appreciate a gift that spreads love around the world.
You could always get the card and chocolates as well.
