Valentine’s Day might seem like any other commercial holiday given the abundance of candy and the sheer number of cards lining store shelves, but if you put in a little effort and a lot of heart, it can be about so much more. After all, at its core, February 14th is about celebrating love in all its forms, with or without sweet treats.
One way to show your appreciation for your loved one — whether it be your partner, sister, parent, or best friend — is with a gift that speaks to who they are. Luckily, if you need some inspiration, the Verge staff has pooled together a list of thoughtful gift ideas. Some of these, such as the AirPods 4 and latest Kindle Paperwhite, are gadgets we use on the daily, while items like Amazfit’s Active 2 and Soundcore’s latest speaker are more recent finds we’re still putting through their paces.
We’ve also sprinkled in a few ideas for those who could use a little less tech in their lives, so there should be something for everybody on your list. After all, nothing says “I love you” quite like a scratcher.
