Guys who don't express their feelings well will love these Empire Strikes Back Towels from ThinkGeek. This set of towels features the silhouettes of Han Solo and Princess Leia and the lines from their most romantic scene together. For those who don't remember, Leia told Han that she loved him before he was frozen in carbonite at the end of "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." Ever the cool customer, Han simply responded with "I know."
In addition to the famous lines, the towels also feature the symbol of the rebel alliance along with "Star Wars" embroidered in silver. When it comes to Valentine's Day gifts, the Empire Strikes Back Towels are way more functional than a bouquet of flowers but not nearly as tasty as a box of chocolates. They're available now for $19.99.
