In it for the long haul

For her

Samsung Galaxy Tab, $549.99-$249.99 (depending on carrier)

Sure, it won’t fit in a palm-sized jewelry box, but the seven-inch tablet is petite enough to justify the phrase “good things come in small packages.” What better way to prove you’re in it for the long haul than with a gift she’ll be using for a lifetime?

TurningArt, $239.88 for one year

A picture says a thousand words, so with the amount of art she can consume with this Netflix-like subscription to rented wall art, it’s like you’re giving her millions of them. This gift is also ideal because it lets her exercise some choice in the matter, and let’s face it, picking out art might not be a forte for some men out there.

For him

Denon AH-D1100 over ear headphones, $120

These headphones offer your guy the ability to shut out the rest of the world without sacrificing the comfort of his ears. Music lovers will especially appreciate the firm seal the headphones keep, and the almost-overwhelming bass they provide. Despite their size, the headphones are easy enough to switch between PC, MP3 players, and other audio output devices.

Sony Xperia Play, Price TBA

This might involve some sort of “IOU” attached. The device isn’t set to be announced until February 13, but we’re willing to bet that the promise of the Sony gaming phone as soon as it’s available is enough to make most guys’ hearts skip a beat.

OffGrid Solar Backpack, $249

This pack appeals to a wide demographic of guys: those who use backpacks, electronic devices, and like to multitask. Outdoorsy types and techies alike will be able to safely secure laptops, cell phones, and any other gadgets, which can then be charged by the solar power the pack soaks up from the sun.
