T. Rexes are brown, Triceratops are green, flowers are dying and you are my nerd queen. The folks at ThinkGeek are rocking Valentine’s Day with their wacky and precious dinosaur-themed bouquets – the perfect gift for your nerdy Valentine. Because let’s face it, while flowers and chocolates can always be appreciated gifts, there isn’t a lot of thought or creativity involved in purchasing them. And if you live in a city, it’s literally impossible to walk down the street and avoid a discount flower stand. And within a week, that same arrangement will eventually wilt, dry out, and crumble on your Valentine’s kitchen table just before she tossed it in the trash. sorry but w om, womp.
Hence the idea behind the dinosaur bouquet – it will never wilt or die like a flower, it won’t turn into human waste like a box of chocolates, and it won’t be disappointing in post-Valentine’s group text. of your lover. “Oh wow you all have such beautiful flowers and boxes of chocolates … I hope the two presents make it through the week … like my dinosaur plush bouquet (which includes two T. Rexes, Triceratops and Apatosauruses), last forever and are totally devoid of any holiday clichés … “
But okay, if dinosaurs aren’t your thing – which I imagine many might be – ThinkGeek still has you covered. These die-hard geeks have come up with just about every wacky, unique, and surprising combination of bouquets you can think of. Here are some of my favorites:
