Love Heart Flying Lanterns
Free delivery until 5pm on Wednesday 11th November! Orders made before 3:30pm will be shipped today.
Gazing at the sky at night with your loved one can be terribly romantic (unless you're lost on a yacht desperately trying to figure out how to use a sextant*) and now some love-struck designer has come up with a great idea for any relationship that wants something a little more enduring than fireworks. The Love Heart Lanterns are perfect for showing your other half just how much they've set your heart alight. These heart shaped flying lanterns have been constructed based on an idea first developed in 3rd Century China (flying lanterns used to be used as military signals) but you can enjoy them on the next windless night.
Once lit, the fuel block fills the canopy of your Love Heart Lantern with enough hot air to make it lift off the ground and drift through the air in a calm, serene spectacle leaving you transfixed. The lantern itself is flame proof and it's all completely biodegradable, so no need to worry about your romantic gesture crashing to the ground in flames or spending the rest of eternity on a rubbish heap. Let your love soar into the sky next Valentine's Day - who knows where it might end up?
If you're looking for something a bit less romantic (you stone hearted swine, you) then why not check out the The Flying Lanterns?
FAQs.
Are they safe?
Yes, as long as you follow the instructions carefully. The lanterns are made out of fireproof biodegradable material so there is very little chance of them catching fire and you don't have to worry about them taking thousands of years to break down in a rubbish dump.
What should I do if it is windy?
You can launch the lanterns in a wind of up to 5 mph, but we would err on the side of caution and wait for a windless night. Always make sure you know what direction the wind is blowing - the last thing you want is to set fire to the neighbour's patio. All buildings should be at least 30 metres away from the point of take off.
Are these lanterns suitable for parties?
They are very suitable for parties of all occasions, but we would ask you to ensure that the lanterns are unpacked a good distance away from sources of ignition and that you don't attempt to use them under the influence. Under no circumstances should you smoke near the lantern.
Should I launch the lantern if it's damaged?
No, always make sure the lantern is in perfect condition before launch or it may come back to earth a lot sooner than intended.
I live near an airport, will this be a problem?
Unfortunately, yes it will. You should never use the lantern within a five mile radius of any airport, landing strip or anywhere that the lantern might be mistaken for a distress signal.
What about motorways? Is it okay to use the lantern near them?
Again, sorry, but no. You need to be at least 2 miles away. It's also recommended that you don't launch the lantern anywhere near electricity pylons.
Safety Tips:- Always keep in a dry secure place away from children.
- Ensure that you wear suitable clothing that isn't highly flammable.
- Make sure you have water nearby just in case.
