Here are the best high-tech Valentin's Day gifts to show your sweetheart just how much you love them.
Valentine’s Day gifts vary with the stage of your relationship, and gift-giving on the big day requires navigating some murky waters. Skip recognizing February 14, and you could be digging your relationship an early grave; over-celebrate and you could end up remembered as a clinger. It’s important the price and sentiment convey you care – but not to inappropriate proportions.
That said, points for originality never hurt anyone, so save yourself a trip to a generic card store, florist, or chocolatier and check out the perfect tech gifts for every stage of your relationship.
Couples that are just starting out
For her
Lens Bracelets, $10-$15
Want to get her something romantic, but it’s a little too early for jewelry? Provided she has the faintest interest in photography, you’re in luck. These lens focus replica bracelets let you choose the focal length that best fits your lady. Better yet, they’re one size fits all, saving you a potentially awkward moment.
Tengu, $30
Think of this computer companion as a puppy sans the possible allergies and certain responsibilities. If your significant other needs a companion and you can’t be there, Tengu plugs into a USB port and then lipsyncs to any audio and music you’re playing, as well as makes the occasional face to keep you company. It’s like a goldfish with more than one facial expression that you don’t have to feed.
For him
Personalized Rubik’s Cube, $29.95
It’s less frustrating to attempt to solve the baffling puzzle when you can cover it with personal photos. The cheesy factor is also somewhat subdued by the fact that he’s still going to need a certain level of skill to see any of the pictures in their entirety.
Motherboard Frame, $18
Let’s be honest, a framed photo is the easiest gift out there. It’s also conveniently non-committal enough to keep early girlfriends from being labeled clingers. But trust, if you go out and choose a fashionable oak frame or one engraved with intricate iron flowers, you can be certain that thing will never make it to the bedside table. Instead, it’s doomed for the underwear-and-sock drawer. However, any geeks out there are sure to tolerate, hell, even appreciate even the most sickeningly adorable photo of you two provided it’s housed in a former PC’s innards.
