10 Geeky Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day

  • June 24, 2011 at 10:24 am

It’s that time of the year again. Stores are wall-to-wall with boxes of chocolates, roses, and cheesy Hallmark cards. If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re on the nerdier side of the divide, and there’s a good chance your significant other is on that side, too. With Valentine’s Day only one week away, it’s time to start shopping for those V-Day gifts.

If you’re married to or dating a geeky guy or gal, chances are they’d rather get an upgrade in RAM than jewelery or boxers. from cute plush stuffed animals, to bath time fun, we scoured the Web and we were not surprised to find a plethora of geeky gifts perfect for Valentine’s Day. Check them out after the jump!

Heart Meter Shirts

Taking a cue from Legend of Zelda, the 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirts from ThinkGeek ($24.99) is a great co-couple gift. During regular activity, only two-and-a-half pixelated hearts will light up, but when you’re within hugging distance of your honey, and she’s wearing her shirt too, the hearts on both shirts will light up until you “have full health.” yes, the shirt is extremely cheesy, but if your girl (or boy) is a fan of Zelda, she’ll appreciate it.

LED Bath Lights

Surprise your lover with a steamy bath full of these colorful, floating, LED-powered heart-shaped bath lights. each heart is $14.99 and come in pink, red, light-pink, and white.

8-Bit Flower Bouquet

Who wants real flowers on Valentine’s Day? they just die, and then you’re left cleaning up the mess and trying to find a place to store your empty vase. Instead, wouldn’t you rather have flowers that would never die? no, these aren’t those artificial, fake-looking flowers, they’re pixelated 8-bit flowers. The flowers, $14.99 at ThinkGeek, come with a stand so you can prop them up on your desk, or you can hang them on the wall. 

Laptop and iPad Skin from Famous when Dead

Give your loved one a laptop or iPad skin to make sure everyone at the coffee shop she works at knows she’s taken. You can even add a nice note with something like, our love is like this laptop skin, which is thin and easy to remove. or maybe ditch the note if you want to stay together past Valentine’s Day. Designed by Famous when Dead, the skin will cost you $30.

USB Tulip Hub

Roses are red. Violets are blue. USB tulips are cool, too. See how easy it is to make a nice poem to go with your gift? The USB Tulip Hub is only $22 at FredFlare. It’s compatible with most USB plugs for both Mac and Windows systems.

Throwboy Love Collection Pillows

When your sweetheart is away, snuggle up to a Love Collection pillow from Throwboy. Throwboy makes all sorts of geeky pillows, like “chat pillows” (WTF, OMG, LOL, FTW, TTYL, FML, etc.), RSS pillows, TWiT pillows, and so on. they have a special Valentine’s edition that lets you curl up with the Apple Mac Desktop icon (with heart eyes) or the simple, yet appropriate shorthand for love, “<3″. Pillows are $29 each.

Aphrodite USB Hub

So the Tulip USB Hub was a little too flowery for you? I see you’re a classy person who prefers the finer things in life, like the heads of the ancient Greek god of love turned into a USB hub. Ah, très chic! Also from Fred Flare, the hub will cost you $36 but make your work area look like a million bucks.

I Love You in Binary – Geek Print

There are many ways to say “I love you” in different languages: te amo, je t’aime, and 011010010010000001101101100… okay, so that last one is in Robot. tell your honey you love them in binary code. what geek wouldn’t like that?! It’s only $10 for an 8-by-10 print at TheWallaroo’s Etsy shop.

On Angels Wings iPhone Holder

Let Cupid’s wings lift you up into the heavens of love. or at least let them prop up your iPhone for you. A simple suction cup attaches these wings to the back of your iPhone — or any phone or MP3 player really. they work both landscape and portrait. The wings are available for $12 at Fred Flare.

I ‘LIKE’ You-Facebook Valentine

If the lady or fella you have your eyes on will not be your friend on Facebook, making it impossible for you to ask this person to be your Valentine, just chase after them the next time you see them and put this pin on them. That’s not creepy at all, right? Alternatively, this would be a really nice gift for the special someone in your life who spends more time on Facebook than with you. The button is approximately $4.18 in USD, since the creator, nicedaydesigns on Etsy, is based in Ireland. Free shipping though!

Anime love scenes part 2 ~happy valentines day~

  • May 14, 2010 at 3:36 pm

More of my favorite romantic scenes :) *I did the subbing for the Gakuen Alice clip so sorry if it looks weird, it was my first time making subtitles. *In the Ergo Proxy clip I made the main female characters name “Lil”. I’ve had debates over her name (some people call her “Real” or “Re-l”)I chose Lil because that what the subbers called her.
