10 Valentine Gift Ideas For Geeks

Every year there comes a time when romance is in the air. All the business of Christmas has past, the excitement of a new year is gone but couples around the world have one night in February to look forward to. In case you still don’t know (and haven’t read the title of this post), I’m talking about Valentines day.

Valentines day is great, you get to spend it with your loved ones and it can be very romantic. One problem I always have however, is finding the perfect gift for the person I love. Compiled below is 10 Valentines gadget gifts that you could give to a loved one.

1. Pink iPod Nano: What better valentine gift to get your girl friend than a new Pink iPod Nano. The nano is a great gift idea because it’s relatively cheap, only $200 and it’s very cute. You loved one will be able to hold all of her songs on it and every time she listens to her music she’ll think of you. The great thing about the Nano is that you can have it engraved. Maybe you have a pet name that you call her or a phrase that means something to both of you. Whatever it is, if you put it on the back of her pink iPod nano it’ll mean that much more.
   
   
2. LED Flashing Heart: If you’re more of the adventurous type and like to make your own gifts, you could make the person you love a LED Flashing Heart. If you’re loved one is more of the geeky/nerdy type than they’ll love this. The kit comes with all of the parts needed and all you have to do is solder it together. The time and effort that you put into this gift will really show your love for them. The great thing about this gift is that it doesn’t cost a lot (only $9.99 plus a solder), the main cost is the time that you put into it. Whoever you give it too, it’ll show that you really love the person because you put a lot of effort into making the gift instead of buying one.
   
   
3. Digital Picture Frame: One of the best ways to remember your life as time goes by is through pictures taken along the journey. With a Digital Picture Frame you can display all of those pictures easily throughout your house. This is a great gift for Valentines day because it can showcase your relationship with your loved one. Going through all of your pictures and putting them onto a digital picture frame will let the two of you reminisce about your relationship. Prices for a digital picture frame greatly vary, you can get little ones for as little as $20, but some of the larger ones are a couple hundred dollars. When it comes to Valentine’s day though the cost shouldn’t matter. If you’re special someone will love the gift that you’re giving them, thats all that matters.
   
4. 8-bit Dynamic Shirt: The 8-bit Dynamic Shirt is more cheesy than practical. This shirt starts off with 2.5 “life” hearts on it’s animated decal. When you get close to someone else wearing the same shirt than both of your shirts will light up to 6 “life” hearts. This can be cute in parties if both you and your loved one wear it. Then when you’re together you’ll have full health. The magic behind these shirts is a radio transmitter that one of the people need to carry. Along with this transmitter both shirts need to have a set of batteries. You can buy the shirts for $25 each and $11 for the transmitter.
   
5. Pink Sony DSCW55P CyberShot digital camera: We’ve already suggested that you give your loved one a digital picture frame and what better to fill it with than a Pink Sony DSCW55P CyberShot digital camera. This camera is great for that special girl in your life. It is a well built camera with a 7.1MP CCD and a 3x optical zoom. The menu system for the DSCW is very easy to use and you can take over 400 pictures on one battery. You can find the Cybershot for around $200 at your local store. This is truly a great camera and the person and it’s a perfect Valentines gift.
   
   
6. USB Necklace: Another gift you could get for a girl is a USB Necklace. This stylish necklace has a number of great features like: Password protection , File synchronization , Portable Outlook Express-trial , Trace free browsing-trial , Favorites Sync-trial and it’s all packed into a 1GB USB 2.0 key that is in a lovely fully faceted and asymmetrical cut Silver Shade crystal. For once beauty and functionality go hand in hand because this necklace is very nice. It’ll look very pretty on whoever you give it to. This is a great Valentines gift because you’re giving your girl jewelry and something to carry her files around.
   
   
7. Hello Kitty MP3 Player: If your girlfriend or wife likes Hello Kitty then she’ll love this Hello Kitty Mp3 Player. The Mp3 player doesn’t have a screen but neither does the iPod shuffle All of the controls are on located on the feet, while the headphones plug into the side of the head. While this might not be the perfect Valentines day gift for everyone it is rather cute and if your loved one likes it then thats all that matters.
   
   
8. Motorola RAZR V3i: The Motorola RAZR V3i is a perfect Valentine’s gift for that special girl in your life. It has a 1.3MP camera, can function as a Mp3 player and has a long battery life. Because of these great features you could buy this cell phone instead of the Mp3 players and cameras above While the phone is great an even better present would be a couple’s cell phone plan. There are a number of plans out there that’ll give you unlimited talk time between couples. What could be better than being able to talk to one another anytime you want. This pink cell phone combined with the couples plan is the perfect Valentines gift for the ladies.
   
   
9. USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner: A different kind of Valentines day gift is this USB Aromatherapy Oil Burner. All you have to do is add a single drop of the included aromatherapy oil onto the little X and then plug it into a free USB port on your computer and bingo! in a few minutes a nice smell will fill your room. This makes a great gift - really, why buy a dozen roses when you can give your special someone a tiny USB stick and a little bottle and they’ll have the smell of roses for a lot longer than real roses would last and never need to do any watering.
   
   
10. Heart-Shaped Digital Picture frame Keychain: We’ve already talked about how a digital picture frame would be a perfect Valentines Gift, but if you want to get your special someone an even better gift but saving a few dollars at the same time you could get her a Heart-Shaped Digital Picture frame Keychain.
