Shae's Geeky Gift Ideas - Valentine's Day Edition

​With the infamous V day just a few short days away, alright just over a week, I thought what a perfect time to get out a Geeky Gifts, Valentine's Edition. Who doesn’t love gifts? These are all from my favorite online Geek store, ThinkGeek.com, however, feel free to look at other stores for geek related items. I literally pick this store because I enjoy their selections, and while you can find other geeky things other places, Think Geek is the only geek store, online, to do a Valentine's section. Fitting, no?
 
Currently some of their items are up to 50% off for V-day (the sale ends tonight by the way), so please browse the section and find what you like! While I normally showcase a Geek Stuffed Bouquet, this year I’m starting things off a bit different. Though, there are several selections this year for their bouquets, so check them out.  This year I have gifts for him and her picked out, and even a surprise one. So, to start, let’s do her! It’s Valentine's, and if you’ve got a lady you want to take out for a nerdy geek dinner, why not get her a dress? Yes, it’s a bit unconventional of a gift, but some things are so unique, why not get them? This Avengers dress has a pretty kaleidoscope effect and is the perfect length for an evening out on the town. The dress comes in an assortment of sizes and can be yours for just $54.99. If she’s not an Avengers fan, dump her. I’m just kidding! There are also a ton of dress, shirt, and skirt options for your one of a kind gal.

What Valentine's blog would be complete without a little jewelry? ThinkGeek has plenty of that, let me tell you. And while it was really hard for me not to focus my love on the new BB-8 charm, because BB-8 is my life, I instead went with something else that caught my eye. Among the charms, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings is this beautiful dragon pendant. The light and dark dragon form a heart around a gorgeous red Swarovski crystal. For $44.99 this necklace is bound to make any geeky girl swoon. Or possibly not. I can’t speak for the taste of all women. I just know that I find it pretty, but I love dragons and shiny things! Huh, maybe I am a dragon. Either way, this pendant necklace comes on a 21” chain and the contrasting dragons draw the eye to that pop of bright red. Heart in a heart near her heart, it’s kind of really adorable. Of course, if this isn’t your girl's taste, there are so many other amazing options at ThinkGeek, so please check out the jewelry section and find something your girl will love.

As promised I have some picks for that special geek guy in your life as well. Because, hey, everyone needs gifts! Now, to counter the ladies there is also a very nice selection of mens watches on the site. While it was hard to pick from them, I finally decided on this Nightwing Watch. How often is it that I find Nightwing things? Not very, but today was my lucky day! This watch is currently on sale for $119. While it is a bit more pricey, well, just look at it! This lovely dark blue watch is stainless steel, so, you know, if someone has a metal sensitivity that might be helpful information. It is officially licensed through DC, which hey, that’s pretty cool.  If your guy isn’t into Batman related things, or hates Nightwing, you need to leave him. I’m just kidding, we did that joke already. There’s no need to fear, the site also has a beautiful Captain America time piece, and even a TARDIS watch; that’s just to name a few.

Of course men like to dress up and look nice too. So, this S.H.I.E.L.D. button-up dress shirt will make any guy feel like the super sexy agent they are. For $49.99 your guy can accompany you to dinner in suave nerdy style. There’s a shirt for everyone, and even a Star Wars Empire button-up shirt too. But, if that’s not his thing, there’s a ton of other t-shirts, and even a nice wide selection of Jackets. Mattie, you might want to hit up the Bow-Tie section for Z, I’m just throwing that out there. ThinkGeek is really good about keeping their selections of nerdy products vast. And their Valentine's section is even more matched between the genders. Which I really like this year. Who says we can’t spoil each other?

Speaking of spoiling, I might have stumbled upon this beautiful life sized BB-8 plush. By stumbled upon, I mean John sent me a picture of it and went “you need this” because that is what friends do for each other. I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty sure my friends are only fueling my obsession with this little droid though. Whether that’s a good thing or not has yet to be determined. Now, BB-8 can be given to your valentine, because who needs a giant bear holding a heart when you can have a giant BB-8 being adorable? Seriously, I’d take this plush over any other plush any day. Or, maybe you have children, or a friend, or me, that you really want to give this to. After all, valentines don’t always have to be romantic. That’s why I included this little guy. Alright, let’s be honest I included him because I am most likely going to buy him for myself…but that is not the point! Look at that cute little face!
