I know this might surprise some of you, but there are women in the world who like things done a certain way--in a nerdy way, to be more specific. For example, they prefer their marriage proposals to arrive via a video game, or at least tangentially related to video games. That's right, geeks aren't just guys--there are lady geeks, too.
So what do you give your geeky girlfriend for Valentine's Day? Check out Gearlog's gifts that only a truly geekified gal will appreciate. And make sure to check back for Part Two of our geeky Valentine's Roundup!
The iBuzz (above)
Treat your love to some pleasure--set to the sound stylings of Barry White or Al Green, of course. Plug your MP3 player into the iBuzz Two, and the toy delivers music-activated vibrations with four pulsing patterns and 11 vibrating speeds. You can plug the two provided bullets into the iBuzz Two, or you can plug in any sex toy that has a mini-jack plug. It's £19.99 (about $30 in the US).
More after the jump.

Storage with Style
Flash drives as a group aren't all that romantic--but the SanDisk Gator USB Flash Drive, with its alligator-like casing in glossy red, pink, or black, might be the most stylish one I've seen. Load it up with pictures from your first date or some Marvin Gaye tunes, and your beloved will never look at digital storage the same way again. It comes in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB capacities, for $14.99, $27.99, and $44.99, respectively.

Valentunes
Think of how much your girlfriend or wife will love you if you get her one of these custom Valentine's Zunes and load it with her favorite tunes. There are eight different Valentine's themes to choose from, and you can choose red, pink, blue, green, or black, depending on the size of the player. These range in price from $99.99 for a 4GB player, to $249.99 for a 120GB player. Order yours by February 7 to ensure delivery by Valentine's Day via express shipping.

The Secret Book
You don't have to buy her expensive jewelry or lingerie to show her you love her. Try actually making this year's gift: Create a super "sexy secret book" with the directions in the above video. Then you can hide whatever you want in there--like maybe the iBuzz Two? [Via Lifehacker.com]

I Love You In Code Shirt
Show your sweetie how much you love her... in a language she'll really understand. Get the Geek Love Poem baby-doll tee from ThinkGeek.com for $18.99.

I Made that Tape Special for Today
Remember when making mix tapes involved a painstakingly large amount of time and effort? If you're still willing to put that much energy into a mix, then kudos to you, but most people these days aren't. A lot of people don't even own a cassette player anymore. But the USB Mixtape Memory Stick can hold your heart-felt mix. The stick holds up to 64MB of music and comes in four different styles, each designed to look like a vintage audio cassette. Nothing's more romantic than a mixtape. $15.99 from ThinkGeek.com.

I Heart You Necklace
If you're dating the type of geekette who prefers a new MacBook to a diamond ring, then compromise with this geeky necklace. The "<3 Heart Collection" comes in both sterling silver ($75) and gold ($85), from Sweet Tooth Designs.

The Computer Budvase
Surprise your sweetie at home or at the office with the Computer Budvase. It attaches with a suction cup and disk and has a flexible arm that lets you adjust the position of the vase. The vase is for sale right now at KlearGear.com for $15.99.

If You Build It, They Will Swoon
My heart blinks for you. Well, it will if you put it together. The LED Flashing Sweetheart Kit comes with 28 LEDs, and a handful of other pieces to put the heart together. You'll need your own soldering iron, solder, and a 9V battery to complete the kit. The kit is on sale from KlearGear.com for only $9.99.

Singin' in the Rain
Your sweetie-pie can sing along to her favorite tunes with the TearDrop iPod Water Resistant Bathroom Speaker. The speaker runs on batteries, allowing you to take your music anywhere where there's water: a bathtub, a beach, a kitchen, or... an aquarium? It works with the iPod Nano or Shuffle, and other MP3 players smaller than 2.55- by 4.17- by 0.78-inches in size. The TearDrop comes in white, pink, or blue, and sells for $58.
There are so many more excellent geeky gal gift ideas out there that we're doing a Part Two! Check back next week.

I think this is the sauciest post I've seen on Gearlog yet. :)
That being said, some of the suggestions are pretty solid, I might have to take some hints!
