When it comes to stereotypical Valentine’s Day gifts, lingerie is easily the biggest gamble, and certainly there is little in the way of Middle-earth undergarments floating around on the web…or so you thought. Debbie Marine of So Effing Cute has presented the fan community with underpants of singular renown, a black pair which proclaims YOU SHALL NOT PASS in threatening gold letters. These geeky undies retail at $13.50 – click here to take a gander.
Sadly there is no matching tank or cami for those nerdy knickers, so instead, why not go all out and buy her that thing she’s always wanted but been too afraid to ask for? A chainmail bra can protect her from both the sting of the enemy’s sword and the adoring gazes of other men. You can purchase a variety of chainmail bras (though they don’t seem to carry mithril) at Zolman Mines for $150 – a small price to pay for your loved one’s safety…and fidelity.
