February 14^th is just around the corner, and I know what you are thinking. Guys, you plan to give a special lady (whether it’s your significant other, your mom, or your secretary) the same tired V-day gifts you give every year. Girls, are you really looking forward with Christmas Day anticipation to a dozen roses that will be dead in a week, or a box of chocolates that will be gone by sundown? Sure, you can excuse your lack of creativity with the “It’s tradition” philosophy, but really, don’t you think that Valentine’s Day would be more special with a thoughtful and trendy gift that says “Look what I have and you don’t!” Consider bringing Casanova into the 21^st century with these gadget-lovers’ gems.

Mailbug email

It is said that St. Valentine wrote the very first Valentine’s Day letter, but I bet he would have sent an email if he’d had the chance. Go for a gadget that will help make it easier for her to access email no matter where she is. It’s time to bring Valentine’s Day gift ideas from antique to chic.

Noise-eliminating earbuds

These sleek, sexy gadgets by Etymotic Research are perfect for the woman who has everything. They are super comfortable and deliver mind-blowing quality (this is my second pair…alas I left the others in the seat pocket on a flight last year

. They work with almost every electronic listening device including iPod, mp3 players, CD, portable DVD, PSP, and PCs. Another thing she’ll really like is they cancel out noise so well she won’t be able to hear you talking!

Unlocked Quad Band RAZR

With more than 2 billion of Earth’s residents toting cell phones, chances are that your Valentine has your digits stored in one. Smarten up and get your Valentine a cell phone she can use while you two are soaking up the rays in Barbados or strolling through the cobblestone streets of Venice, hand in hand. That’s right – with an unlocked quad band phone, you can travel the world with your sweetie and stay connected. You just have to buy her a SIM chip when you land…a “Welcome to Italy gift.” You’re just full of surprises!

Several companies have branched out with beautiful and feature-packed luxury phones that would make any gabber gadget-crazy. Vertu, a British-based manufacturer, is one of the best-known companies pioneering the luxury cell phone phenomenon. Vertu is the Rolls Royce of cell phones. Some models use gold accents or pavé diamonds.

An amazing screen protector is made by Vertu, a great gift for keeping your girl’s makeup off the screen and on her pretty face where it belongs!

Another such company from Russia, Gresso, doesn’t just turn out fantastic cell phones but also crafts mp3 players and USB flash drives made to please the eye. Using unique designs and never-before-seen textures and layouts, Gresso is a major player in the race to make functional electronics hip and trendy. Think of it as electronics aesthetics.
