Self-described "hardware maker" Jiří Praus is taking Valentine's Day gifts to the next level.

He decided to build a "mechanical tulip" for his wife that lights up once it's caressed.

Praus wrote on social media:

This thing is really gorgeous and we want one IMMEDIATELY.

People loved it. It's the perfect, romantic gift.
