Let’s face it—finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your guy can feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded.

This year, skip the cliché and go for something that screams, “I know you, I get you, and also… here’s a nudge to upgrade your life with tech!” Whether he’s constantly “borrowing” your noise-canceling headphones during his work Zoom marathons, struggling to keep his morning routine from looking like a hurricane hit the bathroom, or still juggling a web of tangled cords to charge his gadgets, we’ve got you covered with innovative, tech-savvy gifts designed to make his life easier—and maybe make him a better partner along the way. (Because who wouldn’t fall harder for a guy who can whip up barista-grade espressos at home?)

From a high-tech espresso machine to a sleek charging stand from Belkin that’ll declutter his nightstand (that you can use too), this roundup is filled with gifts that hit the sweet spot between thoughtful and innovative. So, go ahead, spoil him—and enjoy the subtle perks of giving a gift that benefits both of you. After all, isn’t that what love is all about?

If you have a BritBox subscription but aren't sure exactly what to do with it, we've got you covered. We've pulled together a list of three great shows that are the perfect entry point if you're looking for something great on BritBox:

Admit it — You still love Stranger Things, and the season 5 teaser trailer is awesome
A group of teens look down as one holds a chainsaw.

It's easy to poke fun at Stranger Things because of how long it's taken to reach the end. When season 5 concludes later this year, the Netflix series will have produced 42 episodes of television in just under 10 years. For comparison, The X-Files released roughly 200 episodes in under nine years. The pandemic and strikes are legitimate reasons for the delays, but the long hiatuses for Stranger Things have been frustrating for fans, to the point where some are questioning if they'll even care about the final season.

After watching the season 5 teaser trailer, all the feelings of resentment have been replaced with excitement. The teaser looks awesome, and I can't wait for the show's final run this fall.

Inception at 15 — Why the sci-fi thriller is Christopher Nolan’s best film
Bending buildings and the team from Christopher Nolan's film, Inception, in a promotional poster.

On July 16, 2010, writer-director Christopher Nolan released his groundbreaking sci-fi action film, Inception, to theaters around the world. Fresh off the blockbuster success of The Dark Knight, Nolan unleashed the unique story of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he and his team of "extractors" are hired to enter a business heir's (Cillian Murphy) dreams and implant an idea into his subconscious, setting off a high-stakes journey through the dream world.

Inception continues to be one of Nolan's most popular and beloved motion pictures to date. Winning four Academy Awards and receiving nominations for four other Oscars, including the award for Best Picture, this action-packed, mind-bending heist film presented one of the most inventive blockbusters of the 21st century. While Nolan made many other incredible movies throughout his career, specifically Memento, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer, there are many reasons why Inception surpasses them all 15 years after its premiere.
