Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Whether you love it, hate it, or just accept it for what it is, Valentine's Day is just around the corner . . . and we have a few ideas for you.

Pink Palm Centro
Any Treo devotee will appreciate the new streamlined design of the Palm Centro. 3G browsing speed, touchscreen, built-in instant messaging app, threaded text messaging, SD card expansion, Bluetooth - it's a fully loaded package in a tiny device. And for women or the truly bold man in your life, the new pink color is a way to stand out from the crowd. $399.99 or as low as $99.99 with a Sprint wireless plan and contract. And stay tuned later this week to see how you can win one from Popgadget. Also available in pink or black. Available at Palm. (Mia)

Clocky gets cuter color!
Raspberry Clocky has arrived in time for your Valentine. Clocky is the adorable alarm clock that runs away forcing you or the one you love out of bed to turn it off. You get one chance to get up, but if you snooze twice, on cue, Clocky will roll off your nightstand and run away on its wheels until you chase it down. Designed and manufactured by new design collective, Nanda, Raspberry Clocky makes a sweet and clever gift for the great sleeper in your life. Price: $49.50 at Delight.com. (Chrissie)

Darkcloud Silver pendants
If your gal or guy has more gadgets than they can use, jewelry is always a good second choice. Darkcloud is the brand of Sydney based artist Nathan Thomas, who creates unique music-based designs, such as the turntable and headphones pictured above. Available at Oy Modern for approx $300 each.

For Him – Sexy Collar Stays
Keep your well-dressed man thinking of you all day. This collection of collar stays lets you send him to the office feeling a little naughty because he'll be giving that big presentation while your racy message stares his audience right in the face (they just won't know it). Set of 12 stays available in both the smutty version (with messages like "that tie will be useful") and a PG version (with the likes of "you make me laugh"). Comes in a leather case that can be personalized with his initials. $35 - $40 from Red Envelope. (Brian)

Photo Book from PhotoWorks
If you're the type who can be satisfied only when you make the gift yourself, then a Photo Book would be a great option. Gather some of your cherished photos – maybe your first trip as a couple, a snap of your favorite restaurant. Then get on to the PhotoWorks website and upload the photos along with some personalised text for each photo to create the mush. Voila, you have re-created your love story on a PhotoBook which will be delivered to your love – choose between a glossy soft cover ($19.95 for 20 pages) or hard cover with a customizable glossy jacket ($29.95 for 20 pages).

Hailing from just North of Manhattan, chocolatier Oliver Kita's creations belong downtown and in the spotlight. Using superlative, organic French and Swiss chocolates along with fair-trade nuts and other natural ingredients of the highest quality, Kita creates some of the best confections around… and that's not just this gourmand's opinion - Kita took fourth place at November's NYC Chocolate Show. Several Valentine's Day specific creations are available ranging from $7.50 to $110. Definitely a decadent treat for your sweet! (Brian)
