9. TreeMail ($0.99) – Available here
Love someone, but not quite enough to deface a tree? This app lets you “carve” customized messages – love notes and initials – on a virtual tree and then email them to your loved one. It might not be quite the same as the real thing, but is still pretty fun nonetheless. There are seven different tree varieties to leave your mark on, including silver birch and palm.
10. Fingle (iPad: $0.99) – Available here
Fingle is Twister for your fingers. Two players have to drag up to five buttons of the same color into their designated targets. Since it’s impossible to do this without fingers rubbing together, intimacy ensues. Remember to turn off Multitasking Gestures in your iPad General Settings to let two people manipulate the screen at once.
