Saint Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Whether or not you’re looking to celebrate romantic love, familial love, friendship, or Galentine’s Day …
… time is ticking down to pick up the perfect gift for the perfect person in your life. Or people. We’re not sure how long your shopping list might be. Have no fear, Students, your Professors are here to help! We’ve done the research, we’ve read the comic books, and we’ve run the numbers in order to present you with a list of 5 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the most important geeks in your lives.
And, yes, we are trying to offer as many budget friendly options as possible!
Mario Card
We all known Mario is a romantic at heart. He spends most of his videogames trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser (and various other sundry dangers). Nothing says “I would fight King Koopa for you.” than this adorable Valentine’s Day card featuring the iconic Nintendo hero.
Icebreaker Card Deck - Conversation Starters
GET YOURS HERE!
If you watched our January AMA Livestream
leading up to the launch of Super Best Friend #1 - 2 you saw us ask these questions to each other! This Icebreaker Deck gamifies everything that is fun about getting to know someone. Whether you play it with someone you are getting to know for the first time or someone you have known for years. It’s a perfect gift for people who love board games, but have run the gamut on DnD or the Settlers of Catan Expansions. These question prompts are designed to get to the heart of who you are. They also make great writing or character prompts if you find yourself with a block on your latest creative project!
Player 1 & 2 Keychain
Just moved in together? Sharing a new (or new-to-you), vehicle? Just started a business together? Worried about your valuables and need to keep them in a matching safe? (okay the last one was a bit of a stretch, but we recently recorded an episode about Catwoman, so burglary is on the brain!) These sweet matching Player 1 and Player 2 keychains say “we’re in this together” and they’re super practical. Game together and secure together this Valentine’s Day!
Thirteenth Doctor TARDIS Coffee Mug
With Jodie Whittaker ‘s tenure as the 13th Doctor coming to an end a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the Whovian in your life is this perfect TARDIS blue mug. Whether you’re a coffee fiend like Professor Ashley or lifelong teetotaler like Professor Jason this mug (currently on sale!), a tiny TARDIS mug can transport you to a treasured memory, a favourite location, or a special day shared between you. Bonus suggestions: Tim Horton’s Coffee or Earl Grey Tea (hot, if we’re crossing fandoms!), to be gifted along with the mug for the full sensory Valentine’s Day Gift experience!
