So you don’t have any clue what to get your loved one this Valentine’s Day? Well, you don’t have to smash the Piggy Bank and spend your Spare Change to send a message! Here are some unique and definitely geek worthy ideas that are sure to please that special someone.
A great way to spend time with a loved one and do something geeky is to buy and play Little Big Planet 2 together. This game allows total cooperative play; it is hours of fun. Even better: show him or her your love in the digital world by making a level just for him or her. This is available for PlayStation 3, and it retails for MSRP $59.99 and $79.99 for the Collector’s Edition.

You may not have had to fight seven evil Ex’s to be with the one you love, but Scott Pilgrim did, and you can celebrate his victories with the Ramona Flowers and Scott Pilgrim Plushies by Think Geek. They are reasonably priced and cute enough to win anyone’s heart. $13.99 each!
Make your own sweet and geeky treats out of chocolate with molds from CK Products. This mold allows you to make a classic gaming controller. Don’t worry about getting chocolate on the controller; it IS chocolate. Get it for $2.
Cozy up with a hot cup of tea. It will taste better in a Scott Pilgrim Kissing Mug. Your choices are: Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, SleepyTime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle Coconut, Chamomile, Blueberry Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Walnut, Constant Comment, and Earl Grey. $9.99
Matching poodle sweaters might be lame, but this shirt is sure to please. Sold by Think Geek, consider the 8-Bit Dynamic Life shirt. Never lose your loved one at a party again: the hearts on this shirt light up when you are in close proximity to each other. $17.99-24.99! The transmitter pack is $19.99
If your wallet has a lot of Spare Change, take your special someone to PAX East, the ultimate destination for geek love. Penny Arcade Expo will be held in Boston from March 11 — 13 and is designed for and by the people of the geek and gaming industry. 3 day pass: $55
