Geek Gadgets: What to Get Your Nerd This Valentine's Day

If you're looking for the gift to get the nerd in your life this Valentine's Day, look no further than this gift guide. We've looked at some of the top geeky gifts to get the guy in your life and have picked our top five.

1. Nine Planets Ring. Want something that's really out of this world? Look no further than this ring. The Nine Planets Ring includes planets made of gemstones and a band that's made of Gibeon Meteorite. All of this is framed and mounted on an 18k gold band. Sure, it's a bit pricey, but it's also pretty spectacular.

2. Chocolution Exploration Kit. Forget the box of chocolates. The nerd in your life will probably appreciate these kits a bit more. These kits explore the tastes, history and magic of chocolate. Choose the kit where you can appreciate liquid chocolate, or the one where you can taste-test and experiment with the world's finest cacao beans.

3. Glowing Plants. You may not be able to get your geek this plant in time for Valentine's day, but you can definitely pre-order it. Funded by Kickstarter, you can get your very own glowing plant that's sure to outshine any roses.

4. Star Wars Chocolate. Do you have a Star Wars fan? Then get them their very own Han Solo frozen in a bar of chocolate. It may not be as good as the real thing, but it's definitely tastier than carbonite.

5. The Science of Booze Book. Sure, you could get your sweetheart a bottle of wine, but how long will that last? This book is sure to melt the heart of any nerd. It details the chemical reactions that occur in your body when you drink alcohol, and shows that yes, booze does make everything better.
