We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A Pokémon picture frame you can customize with you and your boo's fave Pokémon to show them that your love burns as fiercely as a Charizard's tail 🔥
2. A Nintendo Switch carrying case with a 4.9 rating on Amazon (!!!), because as your grateful S.O. will soon find out, having a nice sturdy case is eons better than just stuffing your treasured console in your bag.
3. A Mjolnir bottle opener to let them know that they're truly worthy in your eyes, and to make cracking open a cold one a more Marvel-ous affair.
4. A set of Periodic Tableware beaker shot glasses because chemistry and mixology go hand in hand, and your kitchen chemist will love pouring a milliliter here and a milliliter there of their fave adult beverages (to hopefully concoct a shot that *doesn't* taste like gasoline).
Promising review: "My husband (a med school student) and I LOVE these shot glasses! They come in well-protected, gift-able packaging and are well-made, easy to clean (yay!), and slightly larger than expected. I can't wait to have study parties at our house and will probably need to order more!" –Courtney
Get the set of our from Amazon for $20.49.
5. A comic book subscription box reviewers say is an amazing deal for a true collector. You'll receive a selection of 15 comics every month, and you can also ask for your nerdy love's favorite characters.
6. A Mandalorian mini waffle maker, because nothing screams "I think you're special" like nerdy breakfast food, and eating baby Yoda's face together with some maple syrup ❤️
7. A Sailor Moon eyeshadow palette whose bright, long-lasting pigments and gorgeous packaging will make them say, "I love you... in the name of the moon!"
8. A deluxe Scrabble board for your word nerd of an S.O. who loves the game so much they need a professional-grade arena from which to demolish their enemies.
9. A Book of the Month subscription if your partner would prefer to spend time with the printed word than spend time with other people (present company excluded, of course).
10. A movie cookbook because your cinema buff S.O. *also* considers themselves an ~auteur~ in the kitchen.
11. Or a "Fantasy" candle from Mise en Scènt, if their picks for movie night somehow always involve magic, mystical creatures, gory battles, and epic music (the necessary qualities of any good fantasy film, TBH).
Mise en Scènt is a Brooklyn-based small biz that makes soy candles inspired by film. They've got hand-poured blends for all of your fave movie night flicks – from rom-com to macabre to old Hollywood, and more.
Get it from Mise en Scènt for $36.
12. A personalized crossword print if your boo's idea of a romantic afternoon is solving a word puzzle about themselves, and then being able to display their achievement afterwards.
13. An Edgar Allen Poe-inspired ring to impress to your literary lover if they have an affinity for all things macabre and also glittery (we'll call it glam-goth). This ring is sure to earn you their tell-tale heart! ❤️
14. A precious Groot planter so your Guardians of the Galaxy-obsessed S.O. can have their favorite character as a desk buddy (and say "awww" roughly 20 times a day).
Promising review: "This was an impulse buy for me and I absolutely love it! Perfect for an office space or at home. It fits small plants, succulents, and pens. Since it's plastic and the bottom is hallow, it slides on glass and marble surfaces so I would put it on a non stick pad or a cork board pad if you are using live plants. There is a tiny hole in the middle so water can escape which is a huge plus. I will definitely be buying it again as a gift." —M223
Shipping: Available for free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime, otherwise within five days.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles).
15. A Rick and Morty wearable blanket that's like gifting them a thousand hugs all at once — they won't ever want to take it off, on account of feeling like an enormous baby in a swaddle.
16. An authentic meteorite necklace so you can tell them you got them a piece of the sky and you wouldn't be lying.
17. A Homer Simpson sponge holder that recreates their favorite reaction meme in a funny and functional way, since it even boasts a little drain to prevent mildew from forming on the base.
Geek3DbySean is an Indiana-based small biz that specializes in 3D-printed goods based on cartoons and games.
Promising review: "Absolutely hilarious AND functional sponge holder. It's not often I can say that about kitchen items. :) Great shop, very personable and professional. Fast shipping. 10/10." –Wendy Blyth
Shipping: Arrives in 4–12 days.
Get it from Geek3DbySean on Etsy for $19.99+ (available with or without a suction cup).
18. A 1,000-piece Lego Minifigure puzzle that features some of the many iconic figures without the possibility of stepping on a block and feeling some of the most surreal pain imaginable. OK – maybe that was an exaggeration but it was definitely worth mentioning.
Promising review: "This Lego Minifigure puzzle is awesome! It’s as bright and colorful as it appears on the box. The pieces are well-made – not like some puzzles that bend or tear easily. The quality is what you would expect from a Lego product. It was also a hit with my 8-year-old son. We had a lot of fun piecing the mini-figs together and then connected them all. I do recommend a puzzle sorter with this one otherwise it can look a bit overwhelming. We love lego mini-figs and collecting them.....this is a great gift idea for the avid mini-fig collector!" —TCWsMom
Shipping: Available for free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime, otherwise within five days.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
19. A two-sided Dick Wolf key tag if the two of are constantly peppering the Law and Order "DUN-DUN" into your daily conversations, and obsessively rewatch the stories of the victims of "especially heinous crimes."
20. A game accessories bag for your board game or D&D aficionado who's "that person" who carries around a sick pouch to protect their gaming accessories — and is proud of it.
21. A classic Nintendo Gameboy heat-changing mug they'll appreciate watching each morning as they come back to life as if they were playing Super Mario Land!
22. A box of pixelated heart chocolates they'll cherish so much more than the usual bag of candy they keep in their hidden stash at home.
23. A Star Wars "Death Star Love Explosion" paper bouquet because flowers are crucial (obvi), but what's better than a bouquet that will never wilt, AND that you can both nerd out on together?
24. A fandom-themed fragrance so your boo can be the olfactory embodiment of their favorite nerdy icon, from Tony Stark to Alice in Wonderland.
25. A binary code bracelet you can engrave with a custom message, so you or S.O. can carry your love for each other (and for coding) on you at all times.
26. A pair of punny underwear to let them know they "guac your world" or that you send "nugs and kisses" 🥺 that might also be the comfiest thing ever to clothe their nether regions.
27. A retro pixel art Bluetooth speaker, which checks all of the boxes in terms of playing music, setting alarms, and having a notification center. What really takes the cake is its ability to pair with an app (Divoom) so you choose funky pixel art, or even create your own!
Promising review: "I love it! It's so cute and it fits perfect with the decorations by my gaming setup. I love that you can change the pixels to what you want them to be with the app. I also love that you can play games on it; I think that's really cool. I was not expecting the sound quality to be so good — it sounds so clear! Just a side note: The noises the keys make are so so satisfying!!" —Asjani
Get it from Amazon for $99.90 (available in five colors).
28. A 3D-printed custom headphone stand you can personalize with their screen name (or IRL name, if that's more up your alley).
29. Some super cool lightsaber chopsticks because deciding which one of you gets the last sushi roll can honestly feel like a Jedi/Sith duel sometimes (you know, in a loving way).
30. Or a set of Star Wars droids stud earrings for a partner that appreciates R2's bleeps or C-3PO's protocol over Chewy's native Wookie tongue or Vader's heavy breathing.
31. A shimmering Mars dust globe because your nerdy S.O. is a Martian at heart (not in the Matt Damon way, in the knows-a-lot-about-Mars kind of way).
32. A Bob's Burgers-themed custom portrait for the person in your life that makes you feel the way Tina feels about – well – every boy. Your pets can even get in on the action, so it'll truly be a full family portrait.
33. A smartphone-controlled paper airplane that'll allow your partner to geek out on velocity, turbulence, and general aeronautics in a way not otherwise available with plain old paper airplanes (which all seem to follow a path of "immediately straight down").
Promising review: "This was the perfect gift for my husband. He and the kids have been on a paper airplane kick lately and this really took it to the next level. It is much more durable than a regular paper airplane so it survived ALL the crashing from my kids trying to throw it. It does require slightly more space than our living room to get going." –Ma Harvey
Shipping: Arrives within 7–9 business days.
Get it from Uncommon Goods for $60+ (available solo or in a bundle).
34. A pack of two Death Star silicone molds so your S.O. can start asking you if you'd like your drinks neat or chilled to Hoth-like levels of cold.
Promising review: "I got these as a gift for my husband for Christmas and he loved them. They work exactly as described and are just something fun to add to your drink. He enjoys a good whiskey or scotch and so these make the very large ice ball that melts slowly with those drinks. Plus the death star detail is just fun." –Christine A.
Shipping: Available for free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime, otherwise within five days.
Get them from Amazon for $9.95.
35. A personalized picture book to memorialize your ~storybook romance~ in a tangible, adorable keepsake. Like fantasizing over fictional book characters, except the characters are YOU.
36. A customizable wooden Stranger Things-inspired keyring featuring a scannable code that'll take them to their favorite song. Ya know, just in case.
