Going Geek On Valentine's Day

-619978168

(Oh no, it's another Valentine's Day guide!!) It's not too early to start thinking about a Valentine's Day gift. I know that V-day isn't very popular with most people, but if you are going to celebrate it why not get a little creative with the gift-giving? Not every woman wants flowers, chocolate and stuffed bears holding hearts. Some women have geekier taste than others, myself included. So this Valentine's Day, lets try thinking outside the box.

1Up Mushroom Scarf

I’m not sure if I love this or not, but I’m sure someone out there does! The only reason I’m hesitant to embrace it is its hefty price tag of $150! They’re made to order so if you’d like another color, you have options.

Let your snuggle bear know that your love is more than just two-dimensional; it’s 3D baby! Share a sweet message with 3D hearts floating behind it. Just be sure your main squeeze is wearing those stylish glasses or she’ll miss out on the full experience.

You can't spell heart without eat.

It may look like a real heart but I promise it doesn’t taste like one. Unless all human hearts taste like strawberries. (If you can either confirm or deny that, I won’t question why or how you know.)

Broken Image Necklace

Can’t afford Tiffany’s? No problem! Nothing makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside like the broken image symbol. So why not share those feelings with your significant other by giving her this necklace?

Edible Wii Avatars

Who doesn’t love their Mii? I’m not sure if I’d want to eat mine, but I would sure enjoy looking at it. Paul Pape, a chocolate genius, designs your Mii in a chocolate mole and dresses it up with a pink sugar heart. Every figure is 4" tall and 2 oz of milk, dark or white chocolate. Yum!

Wear your heart...in your ear?

I swear they have an ear bud for every occasion. While everyone is wearing pink shirts with glittery hearts on them, your girl could be sporting these heartastic ear buds! Some of us are more subtle in displaying our girliness. Ears are easily hidden by our hair. So even though we’re soft and mushy, sometimes we have to play cold and dead and can’t have red hearts sticking out of our ears.

What better way to spoil a gamer girl than to give her this Wii Travel Carrying Case? It’s designed to carry your Wii and accessories. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap for easy carrying and thick padding so you know your Wii is safe and secure.

 

Candy Heart T-shirt

I don’t know how people eat that stuff. I’m convinced that someone came up with the idea 20 years ago and since then has been shipping out the same candy. It tastes stale even when it claims to be fresh.

Rather than watch your sweetie make a funny face after popping one of those cardboard craptations into her mouth, why not give her one on a shirt? In particular one that says geek. Of course, if your sweetie doesn’t take well to the term “geek,” you might want to re-think this option.

If you buy it and she doesn’t love it…I do and I accept donations.

If you wear the geek pants in the relationship, why not give her a little insight? She’ll learn how to cope with your level of geekiness. Also, she’ll discover how to “plot revenge, diagnose common geek ailments, and find the perfect gift for her geek.” If you’re hoping for a good gift in return, you might want to pair this book with something else from this list.

Who wouldn’t want a microbe thats been expanded 1,000,000 times and fashioned into cuddly plush?! Anyone on the receiving end would be thrilled to own their very own sperm cell, chicken pox, mad cow disease or ebola plushie. This gift is two-fold. In addition to the plush version, they will receive an informational note with a real picture of the bacteria as well as a blurb about it. See? You’re helping those brain cells.

This is a new twist on an old favorite. Mixtapes are the ultimate gift – assuming you have impeccable taste in music. It can only hold 60 minutes of tunes, so choose wisely while selecting songs to make her ears orgasm.

Two words

Widget_b5nundtm9hhiymbpeqz2_2

Juicy. Couture.

Now I’m not a huge fan of the brand, but I know many women who are. I like the idea of a flash drive as a key chain. This particular one is dressed up a bit for the holiday, but it can be used all throughout the year. Unless you’re a dude…then I’d question your masculinity.

You never fail to impress with your techy geekiness! I gave some of those plush microbes to my med school-now doctor friend. She loved em!
