ThinkGeek has created a geeky bouquet starring a hero clad in blue. The hero looks suspiciously like Link, the star of one of [Nintendo's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva) iconic Zelda series. Of course, this could merely be a coincidence. The 8-Bit Hero Heart Bouquet is made of foam so it will last longer than any [vase filled with flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preserved-roses). The pixelated hero is holding three hearts, which will hopefully power up your love life, and it also comes with a cardboard stand to prop it up. Tech has revolutionized how we express our love for one another, but sometimes you have to turn to video game systems of the past to express your love in the present. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geeky Bouquets:** Opportunity to create and market unique bouquets that cater to specific geeky interests. - **Pixel Art Decor:** Potential to design and sell pixelated home decor items that appeal to nostalgic gamers. - **Video Game-inspired Gifts:** Growing demand for video game-themed gifts that provide a unique twist on traditional presents. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Floral Industry:** Chance to expand offerings by incorporating geek culture into floral arrangements. - **Home Decor Industry:** Opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of pixel art by creating unique decor pieces. - **Gift Industry:** Potential to tap into the market of video game enthusiasts by offering innovative gaming-related gifts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video Game-Themed Chocolate Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva.md) - [Herbaceous Edible Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woolworths-fresh-bouquet.md) - [Video Game-Themed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-valentines-day-chocolates.md) - [DIY Bagel Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bagel-bouquet.md) - [Seasonal Gamer Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hallmark-1.md) - [Building Block Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-of-roses.md) - [Buildable Rose Bouquet Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-of-roses-set.md) - [Seductive Valentine’s Day Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-trojan.md) - [Pickle-Packed Valentine's Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-1.md)
