Geeky couples rejoice: virtual iPhone valentine’s gifts

The Little World Gifts store is now open for Valentine’s Day selling gorgeous high-quality 3D virtual gifts for your online sweetheart. For those of you who tweet more than you talk and spend romantic evenings discussing your favourite smartphone, these little luxury virtual objects are just perfect! I’d quite like someone to send me an Elvis.

It’s basically an iPhone (and iPod Touch) app which allows users to send each other boootiful 3D virtual gifts that they can touch and play with (ooerr). The app also features a range of free gifts, and makes use of recent additions to the iPhone OS, allowing gifts to be bought via in-app purchase. They are also delivered in real-time using push notifications.

Simply buy then using your iTunes account so no hassle having to enter credit card deets. It also integrates with Facebook, so gifts are sent using your Facebook friends list, and can be shared and displayed in a separate Facebook app.
