Welcome to your G4 Valentine’s Day gift guide for all the nerdy girls or boys in your life. As a public service announcement, we here at G4TV.com would like to remind you that Valentine’s Day is Tuesday. Yes, this coming Tuesday - as in a couple of days from now. If you haven’t found that special something for your special someone, don't panic! We've got your back, and have compiled a list of interesting Valentine's Day gift choices for the gamer in your life.

Something for Ladies

Portal 2 Mac Cover

"Rusted Friends" Portal 2 Laptop Decal from GlueJunkie

It's a scientific fact that bitches love Portal, so you can't go wrong with this laptop decal featuring Atlus and Peabody. Not only are they adorable, playing Portal 2 co-op is an excellent way to spend quality time with your significant other. Trust me: the first time you send her flying from a launcher, this game will become a portal to sexy times!

3DS Clutch

3DS Clutch from BagEnvyGameGear

There may be another large handheld launch looming in the future, but some of us are still enjoying the portable fruits of the Nintendo 3DS. If your lady is like me, she's still rocking hits on Nintendo's little system that could and would love to wrap it up and shove it in her purse with one of these very fashionable DS clutches.

Pac Man Pot Holder

Pac-Man HotHead Potholder from Think Geek

Let me preface this kitchen item by saying that if your girlfriend isn't into cooking, please don't get her a potholder, Pac-Man shaped or not. She'll think you're trying to send a message, and she'll probably send a message right back that she doesn't want anything to do with you anymore; however, if she does cook, these potholders are great. I myself own two of them, so I can attest to how stylish and useful they are. She'll love them. Plus, you'll probably get some cookies out of it. Double score!

Something for the Gents

Red Dead Art

Artistic Red Dead Redemption Print from Brad VandenBerg

The challenge as you get older is to express your nerdiness without people walking into your house and thinking, "does a grown baby live here?" The trick is to get pieces that ooze sophistication, even to those outside the world of gaming. Take for example this super-classy art print inspired by the game Red Dead Redemption. To most of the world, it's just an awesome piece of art celebrating America's western heritage. To those who played the game, it looks like the fatalistic protagonist John Marston galloping sadly off into a destiny he cannot escape.

Halo Art

Large Halo Video Game Vinyl Wall Sticker from BlackfinGraphics

Remember what I just said about being sophisticated? Screw that. Sometimes, you have to go balls out and that's where this gigantic Halo wall sticker comes in. If your man has a cave, that's actually not a cave, but a room in your house, this will look great on the wall. Away from where you spend most of your time. But seriously, he'll love it.

Pac Man Hoodie

Pac-Man Hoodie from Think Geek

Pac-Man is an international symbol of suave, and thanks to Ms. Pac-Man, love. There's no better way to celebrate that love than with this cool and functional hoodie. Plus, if both of you are reading this list, maybe you'll totally get each other Pac-Man related Valentine's Day gifts and then you'll know that it was meant to be. *le sigh*

    The hoodie's cool, though I could think of a dozen different (see; better) games whose levels I'd rather see printed on one... *cough*Ms.Pacman*cough*
    The Halo decal is pretty sick, but it'd be better if you could customize the Spartan (what chest-piece is that anyways?)...Though I guess most people are ok with Recon....
