E-gads! Valentine ‘s Day is right around the corner (it’s on Sunday). Do you have the perfect gift for your nerdy Valentine? Chocolate & roses are great and all, but wouldn’t you want something that’ll add that extra oomph, that’ll have them jumping in delight? You know, that extra wow factor that’ll plaster a smile on their face?

Here are a few geek friendly gift ideas for that sweet nerd in your life:

Chumby One www.Chumby.com

I am a pretty enamored by this little fella. The Chumby is an internet radio, alarm clock, digital picture frame and more all rolled into one cute, compact & convenient package! They’ve got hundreds of widgets that you’re bound to put to use: Netflix, stock updates, Pandora, Facebook etc.. Instead of waking up and reaching for that smart phone or flipping on your laptop, your Valentine can wake up to their favorite Internet radio station, roll over and immediately get updates to favorite sites on the always-on-always-fresh Chumby One.

United Nude’s Pocket Hi/Mid Boot www.unitednude.com

Boots are great! A girl can wear them to work, wear them to play, wear them every day!  Boots pair wonderfully with dresses, shorts, jeans and slacks; so why not make a gadget savvy girl’s life easier by grabbing her a hot pair of boots with plenty of snazzy pockets? These boots have enough pockets for your Valentine to keep her favorite pen, USB drive and even a spare battery in while she’s about town. United Nude makes these fashionably utilitarian boots in 3 fabulous colors & 2 heel sizes.

Why not hook up your Valentine with the latest and greatest: the Jawbone Icon. This Bluetooth headset is user friendly, sleek, chic and environmentally friendly!  The Icon comes in 6 sexy designs so you can pick one that best fits your sweetheart’s personality. My personal favorites are “The Rogue” (A deep sexy red) & “The Ace” (edgy, eye catching silver).

Oh lala, Everybody knows about Twitter whether they like it or not, and I’ve got to admit I wouldn’t mind rockin’ a bracelet with my twitter name, @abitnerdy on it. Heck, throw in a twitter keychain & necklace too please!  Custom design various items with your sweet nerd’s twitter handle or perhaps a favorite hashtag. Fashion statement AND contact info all in one. Nerds gotta represent in style! 😉

Wacom’s Bamboo Pen & Touch www.wacom.com

This is pure delight! This little tablet enables you to get hands on and downright creative with your digital projects! The touch pad and ergonomically-designed pen gives you the precision you need to edit and customize all the photos sitting on your hard drive. You can add a hand written note to ’em before uploading them Facebook or hand draw artsy designs. I personally like to draw pirate eye patches and mustaches on my friends before e-mailing them their photos. This is one of those things I’ve always wanted, but could never convince myself to plop down the dinero for, which makes it a great gift.
