20 awesome gadgets and gift ideas for techies!
I adore this website, ThinkGeek

Virus Appreciation Day
I can't think of one virus that I could appreciate, you? The link suggests today would be better named Virus Awareness and Protection Day.  I concur. Instead of appreciating them, as if we have a reason to thank them for their existence, I would rather be aware of them and how to protect oneself from them!

Boyfriends Day
How awesome is your boyfriend? Mine is awesome.  I've had mine for over 20 years! Today is a great day to let your guy know how much you appreciate him and what he brings to your life.  I googled gift ideas and they were all centered on Valentines Day but they could work.  I found some unique ideas if you are in to buying something and some great handmade options as well.

Fill your boyfriends (husband or boyfriend) room with balloons and little notes sticking to the string.
When he gets home he'll see the first note on the ground "One balloon for..."
All of the notes on the balloons start with "every" or "every time you" etc.
Finish the thought with what you love or appreciate.
He will love it!


















World Card Making Day
It's the thought that counts. Truly. So be brave, get out some art supplies, and make some cards for the people you love and appreciate!

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
