A while ago, MyJones gave us the marvelous ICanHasCheezburger soda, and now they’re here with another special edition.
The MyJones Love Potion #6 Soda is here just in time for Valentine’s and gives you an easy way out if your significant other is an adept of the “gesture that matters”. Soda doesn’t make a good present for any opportunity, but in this case it comes with… you.
Each bottle in the 12-pack will have a photo printed on the label, and this is your time to shine: come out with the silliest, soppiest picture and love message to blow them away! Yeah, it’s just a drink, but they’ll be reminded of your feelings with each sip (and we’re supposed to celebrate love, not how much money we spend on presents, right?).
Besides, each 12-pack comes with extra surprises: 12 lip balms and a poster. If you’re a guy, your girlfriend will love the balm (trust me, we’re addicted to it); if you’re a girl, hey, you got a present too!

The Romantic Personalised Calendar is one for the seriously mushy.
If you want to remember your love all day, everyday… just tell these guys what you want printed. Each page of the calendar features a picture which will have your name/your lover’s name/your friend’s cat’s name inserted in a fitting way (cloud lettering on the cloud-themed page etc.)
Although a calendar is still a lame present, this will make it a bit better. At least you’re making it clear it’s just for him/her, right? Well, unless their name is longer than 10 letters, in which case think of a nickname or something, because that’s the maximum length.

Most people decorate their houses; bookworks decorate their shelves. It’s not the most exciting thing to do, but matching the displayed souvenirs with the books behind them or arranging the volumes by color can keep one busy for a while.
Most bookends are functional (i.e. boring), but the “Book End” is different… and very literal. Instead of a straight piece of plastic or metal, it actually spells out the words for extra visual impact.
The downside is pretty obvious: it takes up a lot of space, so unless you’re a bookworm with a big house, you might want to use all the space available for the novels themselves.

This is officially the weirdest Valentine product I’ve seen this year… and it’s strangely compelling. In a Jack the Ripper way.
For all of you who can’t stand the anatomically incorrect hearts pictured in disgusting pink all over the place… this is IT. The Personalized Heart Butcher Knife is 4″ long, hand painted, rusted, signed and glitter dusted (see, glitter, it’s perfect for VDday) and even comes in its own hand drawn box. It’s also a bit scary and a very intriguing object of art. Sadly, it’s too small to actually chop bones with.
Even if you don’t need it as a present for next week, you’d better hurry: only available until the end of February.

What’s a holiday without a souvenir to show off to friends and family back home? Even if it’s a postcard, you never know what it will mean in the future.
The Overlook Hotel t-shirt must be very valuable now, since it must’ve been printed before the Torrance family ended up there one misfortunate winter… What, you don’t know Jack, Wendy and Danny? Well then, you should read the book some King guy wrote about them or see the movie by that dude Kubrick and then you’ll understand.

Those names t-shirts are the trendy thing to wear nowadays. List 4 or 5 names from a series, TV show or sports team and watch as people in the know smile at you.
The Lost Numbers t-shirt uses the same concept, only it doesn’t have names. Instead, it features our friends 6-8-15-16-23-42.
The new season’s just started, so this is the time to get together with fellow fans and discuss important matters like how hot Sawyer is without his shirt and how Kate can keep that beautiful hair looking flawless in the jungle.
(If you’re into the name thing really bad, there’s two or three other models with actual names of the characters on the website.)

Why would someone want Homer on their wall? Not sure, but I bet sales for the Homer Simpson Rotating Eyes Wall Clock are going to be impressive. Maybe it’s something about the vacant expression on his face that makes people like him so much?
In this case, he is thinking of something. A Duff beer at Moe’s Bar. But the damn bottle is elusive and keeps moving around, and all he can do is follow it around with his eyes over and over again…
It has hypnotic properties, you know. Don’t mount it on the wall in front of your desk or you might end up with Homer’s expression on your face, and the boss will know you’re not working then.

If you are afraid your bottle of wine will break on the way to the picnic, I say you shouldn’t be taking it with you in the first place.
But if you insist… the Klean Kanteen Wine Carafe is what you need. This stainless steel container can hold a regular 750 ml bottle without leaking and it promises not to alter the taste of wine.
Pour it in and you’re all set, you can even go hiking with it in the backpack if you want (though why anyone would do that is beyond me).
The one thing I do appreciate about the idea is the lid: no more need to carry around a corkscrew and an extra cap.

Chocolate Pizza sounds like a weird (and not very tasty) idea. But when you see what it actually means…
Outside, a pizza box, guaranteed to get angry glares from the SO on February 14th.
Inside, a delicious surprise: a pizza-shaped taste explosion, with milk chocolate slices, white chocolate heart, red Smarties, white chocolate balls and milk chocolate sprinkles.
She’ll feel pampered in the most original way while delighting in the Belgian chocolate… and she might even share it with you.

Growing up in SF movies was a set up for dissapointment: the year 2000 was supposed to bring spaceships, Moon colonies, flying cars! Instead we got traffic jams, ozone layer holes, uber-expensive space tourism that just got canceled… Of course you feel cheated.
The Where’s my Jetpack t-shirt is an apt complaint about the situation. It’s the 21st century, this is not what we were expecting, the reality is wrong, fix it!
There’s hope, though. The century just started, and there are people building primitive jetpacks… so who knows. If you’re young enough, you just might get to fly around your back yard.
