>While some just want rest from thinking about their lost spouse, others cherish their memories of them. For widows who prefer the latter, designer Mark Sturkenboom has created a product that, well, allows them to…enjoy…their lost loved one in "new" ways…
>Sturkenboom used his design skills to create what is easily his most unique product yet: a vibrator designed to…hold the ashes of a widow's once spouse…
>The odd sex toy, called "21 Grams" is named after how much of a loved one's ashes the device can hold.
>On his website, the Dutch designer describes his creation as a means for grief-stricken widows to revisit the "intimate memories of a lost beloved one."
>But that's not all. The quizzical vibrator comes with a kit, which includes an array of nostalgic and sentimental features.
>"In the back of the cabinet there is room for an iPhone, the music plays through the flowers on the inside of the cabinet. The key to this cabinet is also a golden collier. So that she is the only one who can access the cabinet." The kit also comes with a cologne/perfume container as well.
>So whether you see "21 Grams" as an extremely bizarre means of coping, or a unique way for a widow to reconnect with her lost spouse, you can't deny Sturkenboom's ability to think outside the box.
>"By bringing different nostalgic moments together like the scent of his perfume, ‘their’ music, reviving the moment he gave her first ring opens a window to go back to moments of love and intimacy."
