The Best Dating Anniversary Gifts for Nerdy Couples
Some couples fall in love over candlelit dinners. Nerdy couples fall in love over Mario Kart battles, Marvel marathons, and heated arguments about whether Batman could really beat Iron Man. If that sounds familiar, this one’s for you.
Because when your relationship started with shared fandoms, inside jokes, and late-night gaming sessions, you need an anniversary gift that celebrates that — not just another bouquet or dinner reservation. You need something as unique, funny, and full of story as the two of you. You need… a comic from us, Make Me A Comic.
Why Nerdy Love Is the Best Kind of Love
There’s something magical about nerdy couples. You don’t just love each other — you co-create a universe together.
A language of references, memes, and movie quotes only you two understand.
Maybe your first date was spent debating who’d survive longer in The Walking Dead.
Maybe you bonded over your mutual obsession with Star Wars or The Legend of Zelda.
Or maybe you realised you were soulmates when you both said, “Just one more episode,” for the third time that night.
This is a kind of love that thrives on imagination.
And that’s exactly what our custom comics capture — your love story, told your way.
Why Comics Make the Perfect Anniversary Gift
Every relationship has a story — but not every couple gets to see theirs drawn like a movie scene.
A custom comic strip, custom comic book, or a custom comic cover lets you and your partner become the heroes of your own universe.
It’s not just romantic — it’s hilarious, nostalgic, and wonderfully geeky.
Because let’s be honest: anyone can buy flowers.
But only you can gift your partner a hand-drawn comic where you both save the world (or at least survive IKEA together).
1. The Custom Comic Strip — Your Love Story, Frame by Frame
Think of it as your relationship’s highlight reel — told in illustrated panels.
Your custom comic strip can show:
- The story of how you met.
- Your first date (with the awkward bits and all).
- The funny little things you do for each other.
- The everyday chaos that makes your love yours.
Each panel captures a moment — the way you look at each other, the laughter, the quirks.
It’s romantic and funny, with just the right amount of geek energy.
You can even set it in your favourite fictional world — Hogwarts, the Millennium Falcon, Gotham City, or your sofa with Netflix and snacks.
Comic strips are perfect for dating anniversaries because they’re short, story-driven, and easy to frame.
They’re like love letters, but with speech bubbles.
2. The Custom Comic Book — Your Epic Love Story
Some relationships deserve the full cinematic treatment, same as a custom comic strip, but printed exactly like a comic book in the store, this is THE ultimate geek out!
We’ll illustrate your entire love story as a fully drawn comic — with you both as the stars. From the “meet-cute” to the inside jokes that no one else would get, every chapter celebrates your shared adventures.
Some couples go for something romantic and heartfelt — a story that reads like their very own rom-com.
Others go all-in on the geek — turning themselves into intergalactic heroes, fantasy warriors, or time-traveling soulmates.
Whatever your vibe, it’s your story — fully illustrated, completely personal, and absolutely unforgettable.
It’s the kind of gift that makes people say, “Wait, that’s YOU two?!”
3. The Comic Book Cover — You as the Power Couple
For couples who want something bold, iconic, and ready to hang, our custom comic book covers are perfect.
We’ll design a full-colour comic cover starring you both as the heroes — capes, costumes, title logos and all.
Think of it as your own movie poster for the story you’re still writing together.
You can choose any theme, some ideas below:
- Superhero Couple Edition: You two saving the world.
- Rom-Com Edition: Love, laughter, and matching pajamas.
- Fantasy Quest Edition: Swords, dragons, and destiny (plus snacks).
- Retro Comic Cover: Classic pop-art vibes with your faces on the front.
It’s fun, striking, and perfect for hanging on the wall — a visual celebration of your inner geek romance.
Why Nerdy Comic Gifts Hit Different
A comic is more than a gift — it’s a shared language.
It’s for the couples who quote Star Wars during arguments (“I find your lack of snacks disturbing”).
For the ones who know every lyric of a video-game soundtrack.
For those who can’t pass a comic shop without going in “just to look.”
When you give a custom comic, you’re saying:
“I see us. I see how weird and wonderful we are — and I love it.”
It’s personal, creative, and timeless — just like your favourite fandom.
Drawn from the Heart — Always
At Make Me A Comic, we believe every great relationship deserves a great origin story.
And no one tells it better than you — we just draw it.
So whether your anniversary is tomorrow or ten years from now, give your partner something that captures your love the way it deserves to be remembered: boldly, beautifully, and with a little bit of geek magic.
Because love is an adventure — and every hero deserves a comic. Check out our products below, not sure just reach out and let's have a chat.
