Despite all the Hallmark hype surrounding the holiday, InventHelp’s Invention Girl just can’t get into Valentine’s Day. It may be that the idea of getting flowers and chocolates year after year on February 14th just doesn’t excite me. Luckily, Invention Guy knows me well enough to understand that my heart melts for technology.

Now, you wouldn’t necessarily think of inventions as romantic, but these fun innovations were surely invented by someone who’d been struck by Cupid’s arrow!

The Hand Hugger by Smitten Mittens is great for new couples who just can’t bear to be apart for a minute. This fleece mitten is built to accommodate two interlocked hands. So, you can hold your sweetheart’s hand during your moonlit Valentine’s Day stroll without the barrier of both of your gloves. I can’t decide if that’s adorable or nauseating!

The Hand Hugger isn’t the only invention out there built for two. Let’s not forget two-person umbrellas, two-person Smart cars and two-person T-shirts!

As cute as these inventions are, let’s face it: Valentine’s Day is for the ladies. And if your gal is a techie like me, she’ll love my new favorite Valentine’s invention this year – the delicious Marzipan BlackBerry. Who says chocolate is a generic gift? This invention is the perfect combination of tradition and technology. Plus, she’ll put the down the CrackBerry long enough to savor the flavor (and your time together).

Happy Valentine’s Day from Invention Girl and InventHelp!
