Chocolates that you picked up from the grocery store, they're great for kids who don't really care what candy tastes like. Your best bet this year is to go cute, kitschy, connected or totally cutting edge. Here are several ideas that say "I love you" in their own special way.

Ultrabooks are the hottest new tech gadget on the block, and this sleek little Asus Zenbook with Intel Core i7 processing technology simply oozes 007-style. It comes in rose gold and polished metallic colours also.

One of the lesser-known of the e-readers on the market today. This ultra-light, 6" glare-free touchscreen e-reader can run for more than a month on a single battery charge. It's also the world's first e-reader to offer wireless public library downloads right from the device. It's small and saves money.
