The Love Token

£10.00

Valentine’s Day Special! Adopt me for your special someone this Valentine’s for only £10. You’ll get two tickets to the Museum (the perfect date, I say), a photo of me, and your loved one’s name in the Museum for six months! Some objects only have one adopter, but I’m letting many people adopt me because love should be shared. 

About me:

  • Butterflies in your stomach?
  • Smiling for no reason?
  • Checking your phone every 3 seconds?

You’re in love!

Love tokens, like me, are the perfect gift for the best person in your life.

Young fenfolk in the 19th Century would present their sweetheart with a token made from three ears of corn tied in a knot. The hopeful lover would then wait anxiously until the next time their saw their beau. If the token was pinned across their loved-one’s heart, the feelings were mutual. If the token was pinned to the right, disappointment followed.

Adopt me for your darling today, and at the same time spread a bit of love to your local independent Museum.
