Some guy over on LJ arranged THIS for his girlfriend's birthday ....
I am truly gobsmacked - what an awesome present!
Some of the components are a little creepy - but that just shows how true to form it is for what it is intending to be .....
Its my birthday in a fortnight's time - somehow I don't think I'd be expecting anything like this {grin}
Though I would consider commissioning the artist for a Jules Verne version if I had any money to spare .... methinks however, this was done as a labour of love for the lady in question.
EDITED: I was wrong. I looks like a straight commissioned piece. Here's the artists' site in question http://alexcf.com/ Pardon me while I drool ....

Wow - one heck of a gift!
Quite a thoughtful gift!
Interesting that you would choose Jules Verne for yours :-) I never knew you were into his books.
That said, last year I got about 16 Sirius/Remus stories all for me! One friend had some others write up stories for my 50th birthday as a gift! I was flattened!
Doesn't always have to be a boyfriend to come up with such special gifts...
That's pretty cool!! I wonder where all the old boxes and bottles came from?? That took some serious thoughts....
Very interesting gift. A bit different from flowers and chocs although those wouldn't go amiss!!!
Never said it did :) That's what friends are for :)
And yes Jules Verne was my favourite author when I was a child and the recent surge of Steampunk has brought him back to mind. I'm going to be rereading a lot of his books over the next little while ......
Chocolate *never* goes amiss !!!!! Speaking of which, I'd better get that bowl of coco pops if I'm going to have breakfast this morning .....
