Every girl (or guy) needs to at least get a bunch of flowers for Valentine’s Day. But if you are a geek (or just slightly geeky), then you know that ordinary flowers simply just won’t do. For this special occasion you are going to need something special to knock her (or his) socks off. Well, in this case Star wars is coming to the rescue with a bouquet of eight Storm Trooper plushies surrounding a Darth Vader one. What better way to say ‘I love You’ than with a bouquet of Storm Troopers.

PIXMA

If you are going to be taking tons of pictures on the special day of love, you perhaps want a little more to hold on to than just digital images. For that reason, you might want to get your significant other a really cool printer – and in red, even. Printing pictures at home is one of the most cost-effective ways to frame your lovable pictures. This particular model is a Wi-Fi All-In-One, meaning that you can hook it up to your local WiFi connection, and print from anywhere in the house. It can print two-sided copies, and can even use Canon’s XL print cartridges.

Dr Who companion rings

Dr Who

If you want to go super geeky and both of you are massive Dr Who fans, what better way to show your love for each other than with a pair Dr Who rings. These aren’t just any kind of rings, as one ring says ‘The Doctor’, while the other one says ‘Companion’. The problem that you could potentially have with these rings however, is deciding on who exactly is going to be wearing the Doctor ring, and who has been relegated to simply being the Companion. Don’t look at us, we know that relationships are almost as complicated as a season of Dr Who.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera Rasberry

Fujifilm

If you already have a printer, like the really cool Canon from before, you obviously have no need to buy another one. What you might want to do instead, if have a camera that can print out pictures as soon as they are taken. Now that is cool, isn’t it? Well, look no further as this funky Fujifilm is sure to put a smile on anybody’s face. In case you didn’t know, it is just like those old Polaroid cameras from year’s gone by. You snap the scene, and it pushes out a credit card-sized picture – wait a couple of seconds and the photograph will start to appear. Nifty! It has an Optical 0.37x Real Image Viewfinder and Auto Exposure with Manual Switching.

If your significant other a massive Star Wars fan? Have you see the latest film? Of course you have, and you can prove just how much you love them (and Star Wars) with this really adorable charm bead featuring the little BB-8 droid. You just need to remember that it is the bead only, and it doesn’t come with a strap – that you will have to buy separately.

Oh, and you don’t need to worry about imitations, as this bead is part of the official Star Wars merchandise catalogue.
