Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you haven’t purchased your gift for your significant other, you should at least have a few ideas on what to get. If you still have no clue, then you might want to take advantage of Amazon’s flash sale on its smart home devices, which include smartwatch deals and Blink camera deals that may make for not just memorable, but also useful Valentine’s Day gifts.

There are a lot of options to choose from, so to help you decide on what to get from Amazon, we’ve rounded up some interesting choices to give your significant other for Valentine’s Day. They are the Blink Video Doorbell for $40, down $10 from its original price of $50; the Amazon Smart Thermostat for $48, down $12 from its original price of $60; and the Amazon Halo View fitness tracker for $65, down $15 from its original price of $80. These deals might not last long though, so if you see one that you like, you should finalize your purchase as soon as possible.

Once installed, either wireless with lithium batteries or wired with an existing doorbell setup, you can access its 1080p HD camera with infrared night vision and two-way audio to see and converse with whoever is outside your door. You’ll get alerts on your smartphone when the video doorbell detects motion and when someone presses the button, and you’ll also receive a 30-day free trial to the Blink Subscription Plan, which offers benefits such as unlimited storage for live recordings.

The primary goal of the Amazon Smart Thermostat, which was developed with Honeywell, is to reduce your energy usage. It’s Energy Star certified, which means that you’ll be able to save an average of $50 on your annual energy expenses. After you purchase the smart home device, you will receive an email with details on the rebates that you may take advantage of from your area’s energy providers. In addition, the smart thermostat works with Amazon’s Alexa to automatically update your home’s temperature to keep you comfortable, though you also have the option of setting the temperature yourself from anywhere through the Alexa app.

For those who value thrift, the Amazon Smart Thermostat is a godsend as it will help save energy and money. You can purchase this smart home device from Amazon at $12 off, which lowers its price to just $48 from its original price of $60.

It can also track your activities, sleep, and blood oxygen levels, all shown on the device’s touchscreen. The Amazon Halo View comes with a 12-month Halo membership, which provides access to hundreds of on-demand workouts, personalized data and insights, and a growing library of programs that will help you discover the exercises that work best for you.

For significant others who are either health enthusiasts or just starting out with their fitness journey, the Amazon Halo View will be appreciated as a Valentine’s Day gift. The fitness tracker is available for just $65 on Amazon, as its original price of $80 was slashed by $15.

A woman checks the time on the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential.

If you weren't born before the 2000s, you may not be familiar with the traditional alarm clock that sits next to your bedside, especially since all the same functions can be found on a mobile these days anyway. Of course, for a lot of folks, they want to get away from over-reliance on a phone and opening it first thing in the morning, which is where the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential comes in. It acts like a traditional alarm clock but with a few added features to get the most out of it. Not only that, but it's going for an incredibly low $12 at Walmart, rather than the usual $50 you'd find it for, and even better, that's lower than the $15 it was going for last week!

Why you should buy the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential
When we reviewed the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential, we described it as tech meets nostalgia because it truly is. It looks like a traditional, old-school alarm clock but it offers so much more. It has a big and bold display so you can check out the time from anywhere in the room. However, its 4-inch display will also offer insight into things like what the temperature is right now. Best of all, like the best smart displays, you can use it to ask Google for help.
