Yes, that's right. For a limited time only the Black Lion Trading Company will be running a Valentine's Day special. For 400 gems, you can be the proud owner of a Bouquet of Roses, which can be used to spread the love all across town. Or, if you're looking for a less traditional use, you can take a note from Richie Procopio and start trolling with roses.
To round things out, Self Style Hair Kits are on sale for 20% off the original price, and unidentified vials of red dye can be purchased for 75 gems each, or 300 for a set of five.
"Quaggan loves you!"

Yaay indeed!
More cashshop items mean more money for ArenaNet, more money for ArenaNet means more stuff for us

Indeed. Note... nothing remotely resembles anything pay-to-win, completely optional cosmetic things. Give them credit, they're running the gem store right.

Nice BogOtter podcast by Richie Procopio, he clearly was getting his money's worth out of the purchase.
However, this comment in Richie's podcast is an incredible BRILLIANT idea.

Every time I pass a supermarket, I think the exact same thing.

Changing weapons on bots to kill them could mean jerks might try the same thing on players in the open world.. Of course a player can quickly see their weapon has changed unlike a bot so I still hope this item can be used in the open world.
Has anyone tested to see if the bouquet can be used in the open-world?

Only now I have to buy more gems to get one of these for use against any bots I find. Curse you ArenaNet and your cool ideas! /shakesfist at sky.
Okay, now I'm nervous. Can anyone confirm that this was a bug and the item is more than a one-time use?

You have no idea how a cash shop is ideally supposed to work in a MMO, do you ?
Anything that creates new revenue streams for the creaters without affecting the balance of the game is desirable.
So until we see things like Ascended gear in the Gem shop... stop complaining and say thank god that at least one MMO is doing it the right way.

Ascended gear in the cash shop in itself wouldn't be a problem. Ascended that is better than the ascended gear you can get in the game though ...
