I'm sure there are quite a few of us geeks out there that have a soft side as well, even you hardcore old-school gamers that are familiar with Atari.

Get romantic yet stay true to your geekdom with an Atari Joystick Candlestick from fabulous UK designer Mixko.

Although it was initially the joystick candle that drew me in, I found these charming little stools available on their site as well... too bad their site is ridiculously hard to navigate and you can't bookmark it. Oh well, good luck! They do have some retailers in the US.

(Had to include that last one, now that the "cat is out of the bag" about my feline love)
