Get Her a Gadget for Valentine's Day

Love is in the air—a love of gadgets! Last year, gadgets were the way to a woman's heart "nudging aside chocolates and roses" according to the San Francisco Chronicle. I doubt much has changed this year. While Superbowl Sunday is a man's second Christmas (or just an excuse to get that Plasma), Valentines Day may be ours. Trust me, you'll be in good shape if you stay away from LED Bras, USB Party Dolls, or even those sexy iBoxers. Last year it was all about the pink gadgets, but this year red gadgets are our favorites.

Check out this quick guide to a gadget-filled Valentine's Day:

Capture Her Heart and Memories

Kodak is all about the ladies this Valentines Day, which is why they're on my Valentine's list this year. If you want to find ultra-feminine camera accessories, such as beaded neck and wrist straps, ultra-chic camera clutches, and the always welcomed digital picture frames, then look no further. I recommend you take a look at the Easyshare V705 (in pink), Easyshare V603 (in red shimmer), and the Easyshare V803 (if she can wait until Feb. 16 for it). The good news is that Kodak's Sweetheart Sale will save you about $50 on digital cameras, plus you get free accessories with your purchase.

Go Beyond an iPod

If she doesn't have an iPod because she thinks they're too expensive, then you should probably start there. The new iPod nano is a sexy choice for Valentines Day, especially in RED or pink. Lucky for you, Apple is throwing in free laser engraving, and gift wrapping before February 14. That said, most of us already have iPods, and we would really, really love to have some accessories. On my list are three products any woman would love to have: the Drive + Play iPod system for the car, a nice speaker/alarm system like George, and some decent headphones. Yes, they're all quite expensive, but so are diamonds.

For the Girl Who Has it All

Give her something that will make her feel at home no matter where her travels take her. The Slingbox PRO makes it possible for her to watch and control her TV, DVR, cable box, or satellite receiver from anywhere in the world. This device connects to up to three standard definition sources and one high definition video device so she can watch all her favorite shows straight from her home theater.

Romance Her with Chocolate

Not the fattening kind! She may not be getting her hands on that PRADA phone just yet, but you can always satisfy her sweet tooth with a super trendy LG Chocolate phone, now available in strawberry, red, black, green and white. If you really want to kill two birds with one stone, then this is the phone to get her since it also doubles as an MP3 player.

She Needs a Little Sidekick

I'm totally going to recommend the Diane Von Furstenberg Sidekick because nothing says "I Heart You" like a kiss-covered designer phone. Some girls are still sporting that pink Juicy Couture atrocity (*cough* the cheerleader on Heroes), but that's soooo 2005. If you really want to make her day, give her a phone that's also camera, music player, and text messaging device. She'll be the envy of all women, not that she isn't already.
