Some may say that a geek is unlucky in love, but I disagree. Just read the quotes below.
I love you. – Princess Leia I know. – Han Solo
You are my density. – George McFly (That is heavy right there.)
Death cannot stop true love. It can only delay it a little while. – Westley
Most of you know that these lines come from some iconic movies. All of these films are beloved by my fellow geeks. So when you want to show your partner how much you love them make sure you put your own touch on it. For me I want to share with you some fantastic gifts that you can get your Valentine this year that are very unique! All of these items are from ThinkGeek.
Flirting with science….
The first gift idea takes me back to my college days. I started to live on campus my junior year. I was living with a bunch of great guys in an apartment complex that was close to the campus. So one night in the first two weeks of the school year we get a knock at the door. We open the door up and there are some ladies from the apartment complex.
We invite them in for a chat. They wanted to introduce themselves. One of those ladies became my future wife. No joke. My wife and her roommates were talking to my roommates and me about a bunch of different things. I remember trying to flirt with my wife. I was asking what she was studying. She said she was studying biochemistry. So I proceeded to draw a few molecules on our white board.
When my wife and I look back at our college days that is one memory we talk about. So when I saw Plush Science of Love Bouquet from ThinkGeek I knew that I had to get this for my wife as a nod to our college days and my start of courting her.
ThinkGeek has a variety of different plush bouquets that you will find on the site. They are a unique gift, not like a normal bouquet of flowers bur her favorite character flowers you can browse and by tat the flower delivery ireland website at sophycrownflowers.ie.
A lamp for a more civilized age….
If you are into Star Wars as much as I am than learning that there are lightsaber lamps on this planet will make you 
want to buy one quicker than Yoda fighting Count Dooku. The lamps are a decent size for your desk or den. There are three different styles. There are two Sith versions, Vader and Kylo Ren and a Jedi version with Luke’s (aka Anakin and Rey) lightsaber. Fulfill your destiny and pick up one of these lamps. It will be a conversational piece in your room, office or den.
You can save money in less than 12 parsecs
For dads one thing that might go unchecked in the look of our wallets. We don’t have time to worry about what it looks like. That is until your wallet turns into a George Costanza wallet. You know receipts, a few bills and coupons bursting on all sides of the wallet. That should be a sign for you to get a new wallet. Why not pick up one with the Millennium Falcon on it? It is a stylish way to house whatever you put into your wallet and you might even get compliments on it from a Wookie.
Show off your house in your home…..
For all of the wizards out there the Harry Potter House Banners will be a great way for you to show off which house you belong to. Are you Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw? You decide by showing your allegiance with one of these signs. The banners light up so it doesn’t matter if it is day or night. People will know which house you represent when they see that banner hanging up in your home.
There are a ton of great items at ThinkGeek for you to choose from this Valentine’s Day. If you are looking for more on ThinkGeek check out Patrick Quinn and my interview with Jeff Burchett, who is from ThinkGeek about the great gifts the have on their HERE!
