Waterproofing the battery

Lithium batteries don't like water. there's a fair few examples of what happens when you get one wet. Be careful!

Currently I can see hundreds of scared for life girlfriends/wives/etc having washed their face using a wet lithium battery.

The clue here is to make sure every single bit of the battery and underneath of the LED where it meets the battery is covered. Check, check and check again. Then of course advise them never to use this gift without special supervision in the bathroom! What could be more romantic than taking an interest in their safety? ;-)

We're making it waterproof y'see! (Check out the aryldite coment at the bottom about other ways to do this - my father told me it is how he used to do it for the military many years ago...)
