You can give the gift of tech on Valentine's Day — provided you pick something that shows you used your head as well as your heart. Try these smart but oh-so-chic ideas.
 

PINK OR (PRODUCT) RED SPECIAL EDITION IPOD NANO
($199 each at store.apple.com)
Another excuse to drink the Apple Kool-Aid? Sure, but who wouldn't want a 8GB nano for Valentine's? You get free engraving on your pink or red beauty, so you can send your special someone a lovey-dovey message. Something other than “Hope you like this better than a Wii or jewelry.”

VALENTINE HEART MOUSE
($29.99 at boystomengifts.com)
Because love should linger long after Cupid's last arrow of commercialism hits its mark, here's a velvet optical mouse heart-shaped for your enjoyment and mild embarrassment. Just think of the added gush you'll get every time you click it to send that gushy e-mail to your significant other.

ONE LOVE FLASH DRIVE
(from $39.95 at lab.mimoco.com)
There are two sides to One Love: happy and somewhat sad (or maybe sleepy). Think happy whenever this little 1GB flash drive reminds your special someone of your one love. Think sad if you don't get a One Love drive for yourself, too. Also available in 512MB, 2GB and 4GB.

FLIP VIDEO ULTRA DIGITAL CAMCORDER
($150 to $180 at redenvelope.com)
The Flip camcorder makes impromptu video a snap with built-in video storage (60 or 30 minutes depending on model) and simple bundled software — the better to shoot and upload that sex vid ..... er, romantic excursion with ease. Camcorder available in black or white.
