Why choose between fashion and tech when you can have both? After all, sometimes more is more. And if you can have the best of both worlds, there’s no reason not to. The most romantic day of the year is quickly approaching—which ultimately means, gift grief is setting in. Well, you’re in luck. My tech savvy Valentines gift guide is just what you need.
From touchscreen gloves to stylish chargers, here’s everything you need to make your style maven tech-lover swoon on Valentine’s Day.
So, check out my Tech Savvy Valentines Gift Guide to find the best picks for all budgets—and beauties.
1. Knomo’s Elektronista Crossbody Bag
I have a tote from Knomo that I use for everyday office use and I love it. Their Elektronista bag is perfect for fashionistas on-the-go. It features plenty of pockets for chargers, electronics, cards and everything else you need for the day. You can carry it as a clutch or wear it across your body for hands-free convenience.

2. Kindle Oasis
Personally, I love reading a real book. You know, turning pages and holding the physical copy. However, a lot of people are leaning towards electronic nowadays. Call me old fashioned, I guess. A bonus about the Kindle Oasis: it’s waterproof for all you bathtub readers out there!

3. Polaroid Camera
And speaking of old fashioned, a Polaroid camera is just the thing! I can’t get enough of them. Recently, a lot of events I’ve been to have had a digital photographer and someone with a Polaroid going around and snapping pics on the spot. It’s such a fun way to take home a copy of the night right then and there!

4. Bluetooth Earphones
I know you probably want AirPods—but they are super hard to get ahold of right now. So, the next best thing? Bluetooth earphones! They come in a variety of colours and will do the trick until we’re able to get our paws on AirPods once again. Perhaps in time for my tech savvy Valentines gift guide next year…

5. Power POMPOM
This is hands down, the coolest phone charger you’ll ever have. Not only does it charge your battery—it’s also a compact mirror and an ultra-cute bag charm. Not only is this one of my favourites on the tech savvy Valentines gift guide, but for any occasion! (Hint, hint.)

6. Touchscreen Gloves
A girl has got to get to her phone. That’s all there is to it. And what better way than with a pair of sleek, touchscreen enabled gloves? The ones I found are leather and lined with cashmere, too! So luxurious.
Cost: $26.99

7. Google Home Mini
Ultra-convenient and super sleek, a Google Home Mini is just what your apartment needs. Trust me. I had the chance to get one a few months ago (along with a box of donuts) and it’s so charming. Plus, it’s super helpful.
Cost: $79

8. Smartphone Makeup Mirror
If you’re rushing from one party to the next and you’re in an Uber but you need to check your lipstick—what do you do?! Just plug in your smartphone makeup mirror and you’re set. It’s total on-the-go glam done right. Plug Life has some fantastic ones that come in a sleek variety of colours, including lilac grey, rose gold and silver.
Cost: $15

9. Luxe Phone Case
Someone once told me that not having a case on your phone and being a psychopath go hand-in-hand. I’m not sure I’m sold on that theory. However, your phone will definitely look cuter with a case. I got my Kate Moss ‘Supreme’ case from here and completely adore it.
Cost: $35.99 & up

10. Stylish Stylus
It’s so much more fashionable to use a stylish stylus than just your fingertips. I sort of relate it to how smoking seems much more glam with a cigarette holder (like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s) than without one. Although, smoking is never glam! Anyways, a little tip: using a stylus when drawing on Instagram stories looks way cooler.

11. Glam Activity Tracker
I’ve never been into fitness trackers. Until now. Misfit Wearables has some totally glamorous ones that are gold, rose gold, silver and/or a mix of mesmerizing metallics. I think I need to stop relying on my phone for fitness and invest in one of these!
Cost: $104 & up

12. Samsung The Frame TV
I said in the intro to this post that these gifts were “for all budgets”, so here we are. If you really want to wow your tech-loving girlfriend this Valentine’s Day, I guarantee this will do the trick. It’s definitely a grand gesture but at least the both of you can enjoy it.

13. Kate Spade’s Smartwatch
Kate Spade’s new smartwatches are everything you need in a smartwatch—style included. It tracks your activity, tells you where you need to be and matches your outfit. Oh yeah, and it tells time too.
