Valentine's Day: Gifts and tips for fantasy, sci-fi, and gaming lovers

Valentine's Day is coming! A time when knightly ideals come to life and heroes set out on epic quests to save their love – whether kidnapped by a dragon or cursed by a striga. Think there's too much romance? No worries. Sometimes you just need to switch off and have a great day in your favorite universe, be it the gritty world of The Witcher, dark Warhammer, or Middle-earth.

We've prepared a Valentine's guide for all fantasy, sci-fi, and gaming lovers that covers everything. At imago, you'll find it all – from love letters and gift tips to playful dates and cosmic wellness.

Powerful rings and jewelry are a classic Valentine's gift

We won't beat around the bush or Mount Doom – we're bringing out the One Ring, but also plenty of other shiny loot.

Plushies and rubber ducks for the toughest badasses

A bit of plush and a cute duck face will soften the heart of many a warrior or slayer of monsters, Skaven, and who knows what else.

A passion called dice (and a critical hit to the heart)

Understanding this passion is a clear proof of love that knows no bounds (just like your significant other's dice collection).

Breakfast in bed? Level: Expert!

Why start Valentine's Day only in the evening by candlelight when you can score points right after waking up? Prepare a breakfast of champions. A Pokéball-shaped waffle will capture the heart of any trainer, and a sandwich from a galaxy far, far away will provide the Force for the whole day.

Forget about texts

In the age of instant messaging, a handwritten letter is worth its weight in gold. Entrust your confession of love to quality paper! If you've mastered calligraphy, you get extra points. A masterpiece finished with a wax seal looks like a scroll that just arrived via raven post. And because such a message deserves a dignified opening, include a stylish letter opener – perhaps Sting.

A date with a toast

Skål! Live long and prosper! To love until death! A toast goes well with a kiss, and for that, you need mead or sparkling non-alcoholic potions. For tea lovers, we have loose-leaf fantasy teas that delight with their quality and beautiful packaging.

We shouldn't forget goblets and horns worthy of heroes and fantastic tea sets for special occasions.

Playful date

Fun first, romance later! What gets your significant other more fired up – a tense duel for Middle-earth, Witcher poker with dice, or building a puzzle together while listening to a soundtrack? Playing together is the best teambuilding for your relationship. And if you're feeling brave, you can try to divine your future together.

Cosmic love and galactic wellness

They say we are made of stardust, and love can be as mysterious as the universe itself. Who knows what the other person desires?

• A. Meteorite jewelry with a certificate of authenticity is a sure bet.
• B. Dancing with Groot to the rhythm of the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. I am Groot!
• C. Experiencing the beneficial effects of the dark side of the Force firsthand.
