View ProductFAQS
Is $100 too much for a Valentine’s gift for nerds?
It depends. $100 is a big amount to spend on a Valentine’s present for nerds, but of course, the amount you spend on any gift should be equivalent to the quality of your relationship. Personally, we don’t like putting a set price tag on presents, so give only what you can/want to.
Can I give traditional Valentine’s gifts to nerds?
Yes. It would be fine to give traditional Valentine’s Day gifts to nerds, but that wouldn’t celebrate their love for all things nerdy and geeky! It would be better to give them something they’re interested in and celebrate their unique personalities.
In Summary
And there you go — we hope you’ve picked up a few ideas here and there on what you can give to nerds this Valentine’s Day. Thinking of gift ideas for geek friends is a lot more challenging, as traditional Valentine’s Day gifts like chocolates and candies would not celebrate the nerdy, geeky personalities that make you love them! Don’t forget to include a heartfelt message inside a card!
