10 last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts for the nerd in your life

Valentine’s Day often creeps up on us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy your significant other a gift that’s adorable and nerdy.

With so much happening at the beginning of the year, Valentine’s Day has a tendency to creep up on the majority of us. And with the holiday being so close to Christmas and the holiday season, it can be far too easy to put off buying a gift for your valentine — at least until you realize that the big day is around the corner and you’re still empty-handed.

Thankfully, there are plenty of adorable last-minute gift options on the internet, especially if your valentine is a pop culture geek. These 10 gifts are sure to put a smile on your significant other’s face—although you’d better order them quickly if you want them here for Valentine’s Day!

Plush Dragon Bouquet

Why get your significant other a last-minute flower bouquet when you can get them a bouquet of plush dragons instead? Any true fantasy lover will geek out over this arrangement, and these dragons will last way longer than a bunch of flowers.

If your loved one isn’t big on fantasy, you can also get them bouquets of cats, books, and even microbes. ThinkGeek has an assortment for everybody!
