You just need to figure out which tech is best for Valentine’s Day

If you’re panicking before your Valentine’s Day date and need to figure out what to bring to dinner, you still have time to swing by Best Buy or Mircocenter and pick up the perfect gift. Consumer technology is catered to making life easier for the user, so as long as you pick something that they would like, you’d make a last-minute gift look personal and useful!

The first thing you need to ask yourself is if your significant other is already in some ecosystem. If they’re an Apple user, for example, they might need AirPods or an Apple Watch. If they work in illustration, an iPad or Apple Pencil is a great gift. You can look at similar offerings from Samsung’s ecosystem. Meanwhile, if they’re a photographer or photo-enthusiast, something like the Peak Design straps, bags, and tripods would be a serious quality of life improvement.

If they’re not part of any ecosystem, you can start by getting some of the basics. A Chromecast or Firestick to add a smart element to the TV, or an Alexa or Google Home are great additions to their life.

For gamers, you can always pick up a game or two they’ve been meaning to buy, or offer them upgrades to part of their systems, such as a better keyboard, mouse, or even chair. Similarly, blue-light filter glasses are really useful for people who have to stare at a screen all day.

Speaking of tech that helps out in health, items like the Theragun might be really well received by anyone complaining about cramps or aches.

If you can’t think of anything at all, a few gift cards to services they already subscribe to are a decent last resort.
