Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for the Tech-Obsessed: The best tech kit you can buy

Get your tech-obsessed partner the ideal V-Day gift.

Valentine’s Day is here, and you might be on the hunt for gifts for your romantic interest. It’s easier said than done given the sheer variety on offer and the factor of preferences, but there’s one gift category where you can seldom go wrong - tech. We’ve put together a gift guide for Valentine’s Day to help you choose the right gift for your significant other, with products across various tech categories including smartphones, speakers, tech accessories, and more.

Our gift guide also covers various budgets, so you have options across various price ranges going from affordable to ultra-premium. Read on to find out just what we think you should gift to your Valentine this year.

Apple AirPods Max

Apple’s most expensive and high-end audio product yet is also something of a style statement. The AirPods Max stands out like nothing else, thanks to its vibrant range of colours and distinctly large full-metal build. It’s a massive status symbol which will give your man a big boost in the gym or at office.

The Apple AirPods Max is priced at Rs. 59,900 in India, and comes in five colour options. Naturally, you’ll need an Apple iPhone to get the best out of this headset, and it works even better if you’re firmly embedded into the Apple ecosystem with other products from the brand.

OnePlus Adventure Backpack

OnePlus is obviously better known for its smartphones and other tech products, but you might also know about its excellent range of backpacks. The latest in the lineup is the OnePlus Adventure Backpack, which is made for the tech connoisseur. It has plenty of compartments including a dedicated laptop sleeve, an easy-to-reach pocket for your chargers and earphones, and a solid shape that will keep everything safe and in shape.

It’ll also match rather well with your OnePlus smartphone, especially if you recently picked up the OnePlus 12. The backpack is available in two colours - fresh snow and wild slate - and the former will definitely stand out among the crowd thanks to its white colour.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6

If your significant other tends to miss a lot of your calls, maybe it’s time to slap a phone extension on their wrist. If your need to pair it with an Android smartphone, there isn’t much better than the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 right now. You’ll get all the key smartwatch features including optional data connectivity and effective mirroring of your notifications from your smartphone, apart from class-leading health tracking on a big circular screen.

Samsung’s relatively recent adoption of WearOS along with its own tweaks make this a very good and very effective smartwatch, and it fortunately isn’t limited to Samsung’s own smartphones - it works across devices from various brands in the Android ecosystem. Priced at Rs. 29,999 onwards, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series comes in various colours and variants, depending on style and connectivity.

JBL Flip 6

Nothing beats the sheer simplicity and appeal of a good portable speaker, and the JBL Flip 6 is among the best you can buy for under Rs. 15,000. With classic looks, the reliability of the iconic JBL design and sound, plenty of out-of-the-box colour options, and IP67 dust and water resistance. It’s versatile and incredibly useful for your music-obsessed partner.

Priced at Rs. 11,999 in India, the JBL Flip 6 is available in four colour options currently, including the rather cool looking ‘squad’ camouflage-style colour option. You get 12 hours of battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, and loud sound to make sure your pool parties are adequately covered with beats.

Amazon India Gift Card

Still not fully convinced about what to buy? You can just get a nice Valentine’s Day themed gift card from Amazon India. Available in just about any amount you can think of, it’s a great way to let your significant other choose a nice gift for themselves. The gift is delivered to the recipient’s inbox instantly, and can be used to buy just about anything on Amazon when you pay with Amazon Pay balance.
