Valentine's Day is just around the corner which means many couples will be searching for the perfect gift as we speak, but not everyone is a fan of roses, chocolates or perfume. And these tech devices from Apple, Samsung, Sony and Bose may be a better choice.
If you're struggling with what to buy your partner this February 14 the latest tech gadget may be more up their street, even if it's not stereotypically a buy that's deemed to be the definition of romantic - there will be no bunches of flowers or candlelit dinners in this round-up, although this electric wine bottle opener for £16.99 at Amazon caught our eye.
Valentine's Day gift ideas for tech fans:
These ideas will be perfect for people who have been after a fitness-tracking smartwatch for their daily runs, a pair of earbuds to wear on their daily commute, a gaming device or speaker to vamp up their living space.

Another high ticket item on the list from Apple, but if your budget allows this swanky pair of AirPod Max headphones would make a great gift. Not to mention the pink colourway fits perfectly in theme and you can add engraving for free.
Putting trend of these headphones aside (they have become quite the fashion accessory in recent months) there's some decent tech specs that may make you pick them too. With noise cancelling features, surround sound ideal for music streaming or binge watching your favourite show.
The AirPod Max pair are also fitted with accelerometers, a nifty piece of tech that can subtly adjust the anchor of your AirPods to your paired device depending on your movement.

The Sonos Roam wireless speaker is a backed device by writers here at Mirror Choice thanks to its powerful sound and compact design. A perfect gift for that special someone who loves to listen to music, or host date nights with your favourite playlist.
Sticking to the Valentine's day theme we've picked out the red model, which is actually harder to come by, but Sonos also comes in white, black, green and blue. And lastly, a deal currently featured on the Sonos site will give you three months of Apple Music for free, a little something to add to your gift.
Argos shoppers rush to buy Hy-Pro Football Table that's slashed to half price
Apple Watch Series 9
Apple's newest Series 9 smartwatchOn offer for £349 at Very - buy here
This certainly tops the list as being the most expensive gadget in our roundup, but if social media is anything to go by this may not be too over the top for some love-stricken shoppers (a designer handbag is certainly a lot more). We've picked the Series 9 Apple Watch as it's the latest in the game, having only been launched by Apple in August 2023.
It's packed with a host of new features too, that not every previous Apple Watch series owner will be able to make use of. The new 'double tap' feature will open up apps or turn your alarm off with the tap of your thumb and index finger. There's upgrades to its processor and much faster reactions from Siri.
