Unfortunately, this item is no longer available at EF. It is a soft plastic heart with a metal disc inside. When you bend the disc, the liquid warms and turns pretty hard making it ideal for sore areas. You should be careful when you first use it because it can be very hot. I like to place a moist wash cloth between the skin and the heart. The heart warms up the wash cloth and the liquid helps bring the heat into the muscles. When I am using these on someone else, it is nice to put a few drops of scented oil on the wash cloth. The heat intensifies the scent and makes it all that much more pleasant.

These last well. I have used each at least 6 times--I got several and rotate as needed so they do not wear out quickly. Now that they are no longer available I want them to last as long as possible.

The heart shape and reddish color (turns pinkish when heated) are cute. I don't know why but red and hearts have been associated with love forever I would guess!! Anyway, it is a nice choice.

I don't know if I would choose this as a gift for a lover, but certainly it would make a nice gift for a friend who trains and sometimes has muscle aches and pains (don't we all at some time?). It is perfectly appropriate for anyone age 16 and up. I wouldn't trust anyone younger with this item because of the heat and the potential for burns. There are clear instructions with the heart (it comes in a cardboard box) and I encourage you to read carefully before using.

Edenfantasys has been changing the products they carry and sadly this item is no longer being stocked. It was nice while it lasted!
