Basically everyone working in an office has a computer nowadays, which has more or less eliminated the need for a calculator. Personally, I think I won’t even use one again - I have my computer at work/at home and my cell phone the rest of the time. Maybe that’s why someone thought of the Chocolate Calculator?
Women and chocolate go together perfectly - or so most people seem to think -, so a calculator that looks like a chocolate bar should appeal to the female population. At least to part of it, anyway. I am not included there, unfortunately for the manufacturers, and I think the idea is kind of tacky. However, it does look like a chocolate bar, so if there’s a particular lady with a sweet tooth (preferably on a diet) that you want to torture… give her this useful gift. What? It’s just a calculator, nothing more… Not your fault that she’ll be dying for something sweet the second she gets off work.

Playing with your food is bad - and extremely messy, if the food in question is chocolate. But some nice Japanese people thought about it and made it easier for us.
It not really chocolate, but it damn well looks like it… The Meiji Chocolate Bar Puzzle is a game that looks like a chocolate bar. It’s got Tetris-like pieces, but it’s actually called Pentomino (”penta” because each piece has 5 squares) and the goal is to completely cover the play surface in with the tiles, without overlapping and empty squares. There are 2339 solutions, by the way.
But let’s admit it: the game is not that important. It’s the fact that it’s chocolate! I admit it’s probably useless and only good to impress your friends… but that’s sometimes worth it. $7 worth? That’s for you to decide.

The traditional thing for Valentine’s Day is to buy presents for your girlfriend or boyfriend. This year you could try something different: buy something as a couple. Instead of two separate presents, get something for both of you. You have 3 ideas here, to start you off.
3. If you appreciate intimate moments and together-time, get a Tea for Two set from Full Bloom Tea. One mug for each of you, plus 6 packs of the special crafted tea that seems to bloom right before your eyes.
2. What can be better than chocolate? Nothing, I tell you. The Chocolate Avatars set consists of two chocolate miniatures you can choose in any combination of sex and color. Express your love exactly as it is. Eating your chocolate significant other might seem a bit creepy, but… it’s chocolate! Anything goes.
1. If these just don’t cut it and you still want to show the world how connected you are, then the 8 Bit Dynamic Life T-shirts are for you. When you are apart, the display on the front of the t-shirts shows 2 and a half hearts. You’re not complete. Get close to your lover, however, and the hearts start lighting up, until you reach the 5 hearts that say you’re made to be together.
Yes, Valentine’s Day has become so commercial, yes, I dislike that, but some gifts are just so damn cute, who cares that the society is going down the drain and blah blah?
The Sweetheart Chocolate Avatars (also known as Mii Chocolates) are the epitome of cute. You get two 2.1 oz Hershey’s chocolate avatars with tiny read hearts on their shirts, to make the feelings very clear. You can choose any combination of colors (white or dark chocolate) and sexes, so you’ll be able to express your chocolately love to your mate in a very accurate way. What more could you want?
If you wanted to get these and they were out of stock, hurry now, a new batch has just been put on sale.
