10. Player 1 & 2 Shirts
Roses are red, violets are blue, can’t have a Valentine without player number 2 & I want that to be you. That’s what this shirt is for because you’d rather not play with anyone else… okay, that came out awkward. Omit that line but keep the shirts as a gift for that special player number 2, available here.
11. Super Spa with Wonder Woman
You don’t need that lasso of truth to tell whether your Valentine likes you. What you need is a relaxing time at a spa paired with the right spa set from Themyscira. WARNING: this does not make you impervious to heat, and things are bound to get hot using these, go get ’em.
12. Say “Will you be my Valentine” in Morse.
Nothing makes a Valentine date more curious than when they can’t understand that cryptic but sweet message you just sent to them. What better to send an encrypted love message than with Morse code? These necklaces ought to do that, assuming you also understand Morse? Shouldn’t be a problem, right? RIGHT?

Profess your undying love with a six-sided die. Also, make sure that it has a labyrinthine pattern so you can distract her/him while you figure out where to take her/him on a date.
