St. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and as a result many guys and gals are struggeling to get their better half a V-Day gift. Well, Gadget Hoard is here to help the geek lovers out there get something that will surely knock their socks off (or maybe a more interesting piece of the wardrobe?
) So sit tight and listen up for Geek’s V-Day 101:
Gadget4All is always finding new and exciting things to sell. So of course they’ve come up with a few love-themed items for their catalog and up first is the USB Plasma Heart. One of the few USB devices in this compilation, the USB Plasma heart will set itself apart from any other gadget on his/her desk. Much like the USB plasma ball, the USB Plasma heart uses the low power current from USB and converts it to very high voltage which creates the lightning like bolts within the heart shaped plastic dome. Don’t have an available powered USB port or would like to use it without a computer? Not a problem! Just pick up an Eforcity USB Travel Adapter ($0.49) and plug it in anywhere! You can get the USB Plasma Heart at Gadget4All for $17.
More ideas after the jump!
A classic: baking treats for your loved one on special days such as Valentines Day. Our favorite baked goods? Brownies. Delicious chocolate brownies. Unfortunately the best part of the batch is on the edges of the pan. The 6-8 pieces in the middle are useless! Well, say goodbye to that dilemma with the Edge Brownie Pan – All edges, all the time. Vat19 brings us the delicious idea to better satisfy our hunger for edges. The Edge Brownie Pan guarantees at least two sides of every piece are edge-piece style. Mmmmmm! Get one for you and your significant other from Vat19 for $34.95.
Animated t-shirts seemed like one of those ideas where someone would say
“Now why didn’t I think of that!?” Well, ThinkGeek did, and we’re quite glad they did! They have a range of animated Ts from the WiFi Detector shirt to this one, the 8-Bit Dynamic Heart shirt. Two shirts work in conjunction with one another. When they are far away, the heart level goes down, but the closer they are to each other, the more hearts there will be. For those people who don’t have someone to share with, you can also buy one t-shirt and the transmitter so you can simulate love for your favorite objects! Get them at ThinkGeek for $11.99 to $24.99.
Love is a warm feeling. Use this heat energy to heat up your drinks witht he USB Heart Shaped Cup Warmer! Another gem from Gadget4All is this pink colored heart shaped device which warms your dinks and keeps them warm, and it’s all powered by USB. It’s another gift on the budget side, and it’s sweet and practical all in one! A perfect gift for her. If you think she’ll like this, then maybe she’ll like the USB Mini-Fridge. Get the cup warmer for $14 at Gadget4All.
Everyone needs dating advice eventually. Geeks are no exception! Thanks to
this book, maybe we can all rest a bit easier at night?
“Geeks are human, yes, but sometimes they seem like a different species. They have social interactions that don’t resemble anything else found in nature; they have language aspects and conventions that go against rational thought; and they many times have a unique body odor. Ok, ok. We have that unique body odor, too. For we are they and they are you and we are you and… we’re all geeks. And we need people to understand us so they can date us. This book helps.
It asks the reader “Are you dating a geek?” If so, find out just how geeky he is in “The Geek Test.” Learn how to cope with his geekiness in sections such as: “Getting What You Want” and “How to Exercise Your Geek.” Also, discover how to plot revenge, diagnose common geek ailments, and find the perfect gift for your geek.
