Chocolates and flowers aren’t for everyone. Here are tech gift ideas to surprise a loved one with this Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is nearly here and many shoppers are on the look for a gift to surprise a loved one, but it doesn’t have to all be roses and heart-shaped chocolates. Our shopping team has found popular ideas for any tech-lover in your life, from handy accessories, to essentials, and devices.
For some, nothing is off limits when it comes to surprising their loved one and its no doubt Samsung’s newest S25 discounts or a shiny new iPhone 16 could be on some Valentine’s Day wishlists. It’s becoming increasingly popular with retailers including Lenovo and Bose launching sales to celebrate the love-filled date.
Currys is another tech retailer with a romantic proposal and its sale includes hair beauty devices, like the Dyson AirWrap, £100 off smartphones, or a FitBit deal for fitness lovers. Over at Amazon, and the retailer has cut the price of its Fire Sticks, Echo Dots, and Fire Tablets in its ‘gifts they’ll love’ device sale.

The options are endless, so our shopping tech team has rounded up a selection of deals perfect for the tech-crazed person in your life.
50% off Amazon devices ‘they’ll fall for’
Amazon has launched a pre-Valentine’s sale that’s ideal for tech lovers, with discounts on a range of devices ‘they’ll fall for’. The retailer has knocked up to 50% off its own brand tech, including Fire TV Sticks and Echo Spot smart speakers, but one of our favourite deals is on the Echo Buds wireless earbuds, which are now half price at £54.99 – down from £129.99.
These Bluetooth in-ear headphones are compatible with both iOS and Android devices and have Alexa built-in, so your loved one can tune into their favourite music, podcasts or audiobooks hands-free. They’re also sweat and water resistant, making them the ideal gift for fitness fanatics.
However, those wanted high-end tech with the best noise-cancelling and transparency modes may want to pick Apples AirPod4 with better quality.
A gift for fitness fans – £50 off AppleWatch
The latest Apple Watch – Series 10 – for fitness fans could be a good pick for any gym-obsessed partner. Yes, it’s a luxurious pick (some may say over the top) but we wouldn’t put it past some. Argos’ current price drop may help the bank account, as it drops to £349 – a £50 saving.
Compared to the Series9, which we recommended in last years Valentine’s Day round-up, the newer Series 10 has a refined and thinner design with a battery life of up to 18-hours. Users can make the most of WatchOS11. However, a downside to the model and a known gripe with most smartwatches is it’ll need a charge boost each day.
20% off Casetify cases for mobile lovers
Fancy treating yourself and your loved one to a brand-new stylish yet practical phone case? Casetify has launched a fabulous Valentine’s Day sale that lets you snap up two cases with 20% off when you enter the special discount code VDAY25 at the checkout.
The retailer offers a variety of unique cases for different smartphones, including some that match the romantic February 14 theme. This includes a sweet love heart The Stick-It Case for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Clear Polka Daub Hearts case that’s compatible with Samsung, iPhone and Google phones, plus a cute iPhone Sweet Hearts Phone Case.
