Gifts are always tricky in relationships, and no holiday makes that more obvious than good old Valentine's Day. Standbys like jewelry, flowers, chocolates, and cards will usually do the trick, but if you really want to impress the one you love, we advise giving them something a little more thoughtful than a heart-shaped box of sugary sweets.

Valentine's gifts can be even scarier if the date comes in the beginning stages of a relationship. If you've only been dating a short time, giving her a diamond necklace  or  him plane tickets six months in advance could get you in trouble, or at least provoke an awkward moment. If you want your Valentine's Day celebration to have a tech spin, we've got you covered on both bases. We've narrowed down a long list to our favorite romantic tech gifts for every price range and stage of relationship. It's a no-brainer.
