This being a month of love and sweet nothings, you can't help but love ThinkGeek, which has your back with some of the most hilarious and kitschy gimmicks this planet has ever seen. The Holographic Candlelit Dinner Kit comes right in time for Valentine's, from a date who can only be labeled "cheap," "unimaginative," and a "total geek"--the last being a compliment for some, we're sure.

What we're not so sure about is whether the nausea and headache induced from staring into each other's diffracted bug eyes through 3D wraparounds would eventually lead to that desired romantic interlude at the end of dinner.

The $5.99 kit comes with a candle and two thin-film glasses etched with a pattern designed to diffuse the light from the candle into heart-shaped rainbows. Batteries, er, matches not included.
