What did your Valentine get you?Caged Women Some chocolates? A teddy bear? Roses?

That's all very sweet, but it's about to be royally upstaged by this incredible room covered in 7,000 sticky notes of love.

Jennifer Brinley left for work on Valentine's Day, bidding adieu to a completely normal looking bedroom. She came home and found it covered with notes all designed to look like an 8-bit video game made with love.

Now that they have been together for eight years and married for three, Brinley's husband must have felt it was time for an upgraded gift.

"He's been working on it actively for many months, but planning it for a year," Brinley told us. "I work pretty late, and he would work on it in any free time he had before I made it home at night." Brinley shared that her husband is an elementary school teacher.

Unsurprisingly, Brinley has not yet read through all of the notes, but she is working on it.

"I'm not sure how long they'll stay up. I might take them down as I read them," Brinley said. "I think I'll make a book out of them."

But what did Brinley do for her fantastic husband?

"This is going to make me sound horrible!" Brinley admitted. "All I got him was Japanese soup spoons. He loves to eat cereal with them. But usually we do a small Valentine's Day because our anniversary, my birthday, and Christmas [are] in December."

Well, clearly husband decided to ignore that memo this year but it was for the greater good. Hopefully significant others everywhere will take note.

Thisis the right way to show someone you love them.
