Being Geek Chic is a blog for stylish geeks, sophisticated nerds and people who enjoy the musings of a complete dork. Join us as we dream of driving the TARDIS, cuddle with our eBooks and test out an iPad sleeve. It's written by Elizabeth Giorgi and a team of brilliant lady nerds. Meet the team.
Did you wait until the last minute to figure out what to buy your love this Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry. I’ve done it too. Instead of running out to Hallmark, try this green and keen solution: (Links to download are below!)
It’s really quite simple. Here’s what you do:
1. Steal your lover’s computer. (If you share one, this is so much easier.)
2. Download one of these wallpapers:
3. Change the desktop background to design of your choice. I recommend using the “Hey Lover” one for receipts for gifts that are in the mail, printable gift certificates… and nudey pics. (If that’s your thing.) I recommend the Lovey Dovey background for concert tickets, vacation packages and other special events.
4. Move the aforementioned file around so it’s in the right place. If you’re on a PC, you can just plop it in the right spot. On the Mac, it’s kind of fun to have the file minimized on the dash.
Then hand the computer back to your loved one. Tell them how much they need to clean their keyboard and just as they are about to get defensive about it - watch their face turn into a squeeing fangirl. Now you’ll look like a thoughtful winner instead of a forgetful wanker. Congrats.
