Need a Valentines idea?

My girlfriend seems to like matching the clothes she wears to the clothes I wear. I generally do not encourage this, but I can make an exception for her.

I found this at thinkgeek.com

Now you can match, and have an awesome shirt (think Zelda).

That's a cool idea. I suppose those are battery operated.
I'd like a shirt with a monkey's head on it that puts his hands over his ears when I get too close to my wife.

I'll try to get a picture. She is not a big videogame fan, but the heart crap makes her giddy.

That is so awesome! I wonder if you would have to wash those shirts by hand, so as to not damage the hearts? :? BTW, does anyone own a similar battery-powered shirt? I wonder if it adds any significant weight and/or discomfort while wearing it?

you can take all of the components out and put it in the washer, but you're supposed to hang to dry.

I originally wanted the equalizer shirt, but it is a little expensive for a t-shirt, and you can't take out the electronics, you have to hand wash.

If you have a laptop / mobile wifi-enabled device, the wifi detector shirt is always great: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/991e/ (I'm sure most have already seen this)

whatever you do, DO NOT use DHL for shipping. They have gotten my shirts lost in limbo somewhere and when I call about it they just tell me to call thinkgeek.

So did you call thinkgeek? if you did, im assuming that they told you to go back to DHL.

I'm going to call DHL again, because it is their fault. If they tell me the same thing again I will call thinkgeek.

Bump for a warning

I just got the shirts today, took a week and a half.

I will be RMAing them straight back to thinkgeek. They aren't put together very well, the batterpack is large, and makes a high pitched sound when turned on, the cable that goes from the batteries to the LEDs is a ribbon cable, wrapped with cloth, and doesn't stay hidden very well. I had a bunch of bulges all over the shirt. I know the one I got for my girlfriend would be form fitting, so it would show even more.

Not a good purchase. Sorry I posted this.
