Flowers? Too simple. Candy? Been there, done that. If you’re one of the millions of men wracking your brain about what to get your special sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, take a tip from InventHelp and me: women want gadgets.

Perhaps I have a bias because I’m InventHelp’s Invention Girl, but based on the number of gadget-centric Valentine’s Day commercials I’ve seen this year, I’m not the only lady who loves electronics. In fact, according to the Oxygen channel, three quarters of women would prefer a plasma TV to a diamond necklace.

If you’re looking to do something a little more creative than buy a teddy bear with “I Love You” written on the belly, here are a few more gadget ideas.

1. The pink iPod Nano has a two-inch display screen to let your honey watch her favorite TV shows, videos or films while she’s on the go. The 8GB model will run you about $199.
2. The Nano’s not the only gadget debuting in pink for Valentine’s Day – the Blackberry Pearl is offered in the ultimate feminine hue as well. Think of it as a way to send love notes even when you’re stuck in traffic or working late at the office.
3. A digital photo frame, preloaded with your favorite vacation photos, proves that you’re tech-savvy yet still sensitive.

By the way, ladies, we’re not the only ones who should be getting the gadgets for Valentine’s Day this year. To show you’re up on the latest technology (and if you’ve got a few extra bucks to spend), think about getting him the Mac Air, the featherweight laptop famously pulled out of a manila envelope in the catchy commercials.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Invention Girl and InventHelp!
