A lovely idea

For a sweet — and sugar-free! — Valentine’s Day gift, the Sweet Talk Cube Puzzle gets to the heart of the matter. This toy, inspired by Erno Rubik’s popular puzzle from our own childhoods, challenges the gamer — ages 8 and older — to match the candy heart-inspired messages on each face. Their brains will be working overtime as their fingers spin the 2 1/4-inch-high cube’s faces, trying to arrange a whole side of hearts that proclaim, “Cutie Pie” or “Tru Love.”
