Face it -- roses, chocolates, and yes, diamond rings, have been done before. If you really want to impress your sweetheart, surprise him or her with a tech present that will have them remembering you the whole year through.

Roses die, chocolates are quickly eaten, and a diamond ring is theoretically a once in a lifetime pressie. So why not think outside the square, and come up with something that combines the romantic with the practical? Say, a DVD player with a copy of "Sleepless in Seattle" ... an MP3 player loaded with "Love Me Tender", "Unchained Melody" and "Endless Love" ... or a digital camera with your picture taken at the scene of your first date. C'mon, get creative.

And if our Gifts for Her and Gifts for Him pages don’t spark your imagination, you might want to just go for one of our Latest and Greatest. If the object of your affection isn’t already head over heels in love, they will be after unwrapping one of these babies.

Let your Valentine know: Want to take the guesswork out of Valentine's Day shopping? Send your loved one a gentle holiday hint about the cool tech gear that will make your heart flutter. It's easy.

    • Marantz SR6003

      Marantz SR6003

      The Marantz SR6003 is a forthcoming receiver which features DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD decoding, 1080p upscaling and a new design.

    • Onkyo TX-SR606

      Onkyo TX-SR606

      The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.

    • Samsung HT-X715

      Samsung HT-X715

      The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality with flabby sounding bass.

    • Samsung HT-X810

      Samsung HT-X810

      The Samsung HT-X810 is a breeze to set-up and looks great sitting underneath your TV, and while picture quality is great, the sound slightly disappoints.

    • Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones

      Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones

      An exceptional pair of reference headphones for the price with sonic accuracy across the board and brutal detail from upper low end to the top of the high end.
