You know he&#8217;d love a new 42 inch Plasma, but your budget isn&#8217;t really there. That doesn’t mean he (or she) has to be stuck with the crappy card/teddy bear combo.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/smb-wall.jpg" alt="smb-wall.jpg" align="right" />So it’s the season of love. Yay! Love! But now you’re down to the last minute and you don’t know what to get the special geek in your life. You know he&#8217;d love a new 42 inch Plasma, but your budget isn&#8217;t really there. That doesn’t mean he (or she) has to be stuck with the crappy card/teddy bear combo. There are plenty of great geek-friendly gifts out there that are cheap <em>and</em> special.</p>
<p>Here are a few ideas:</p>
<p><strong>Handy?</strong></p>
<p>If your Sig other is a tinker then a new <a href="http://www.bytelove.com/stuff/geek-tools/swiss-tech-micro-tech-6-in-1/prod_113.html">Swiss army tool set</a> could be just thing. I am constantly trying to find a screwdriver to take something apart. I imagine boys do it more often than me. This little beauty is small, it fits on your keychain and isn’t silly and bulky looking. Pair it with their favorite candy and your sweet smile for a great gift.</p>
<p><strong>Retro Gamer?</strong></p>
<p>Try some sw33t <a href="http://www.bytelove.com/stuff/lifestyle/space-invaders-wall-stickers/prod_71.html">wall stickers</a>! These decals will make any geek think of the hours they spent in front of a screen mashing buttons and killing enemes growing up. Plus they are really freaking sweet. Who hasn&#8217;t wanted to live in Mario land?</p>
<p><strong>Something more Traditional?</strong></p>
<p>Maybe you want something a little less unique and a little more mainstream. How about a <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/valentines/5f21/">wallet</a>? It’s something they’ll use and yet still maintains that certain nerdy quality to it.<span id="more-16588"></span></p>
<p><strong>Still not right?</strong></p>
<p>Well if none of that (or the various sites that those ideas came from) appeal to you there are always T-shirts. You can buy a super unique one form <a href="http://www.teefury.com/">Teefury</a>. They’re only available for one day so chances are no one else will have it. Or you can go to a site like <a href="http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=ALLSHIRTS">Topatoco</a>. They feature the shirts for great web comics like <a href="http://drmcninja.com/index.html">Dr. McNinja</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Cute Add ons?</strong></p>
<p>Where would a Geek be without his <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/8ace/">spork</a>? Or a <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/b625/">Samurai Sword</a> (kinda) for your warrior?</p>
<p>Or you could just meet them at the door wearing nothing but a ribbon; that one always works. Whatever you get, make sure it&#8217;s from the heart.</p>
<p>Happy Valentine’s Day!</p>
