Valentines Day is a celebration of love and affection all wrapped up in a day of romance. Somehow tech and romance seen at odds.
GadgetGuy and GadgetGirl have a sentimental side too – after all life is not all about tech. Here are a few suggestions from Victorinox that will suit both him and her, or him and him, or her and her, or bisexuals, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning people collectively.
For the passionate home cook
If you and your significant other half enjoy playing Master Chefs together, you will both love this 17cm Santoku Knife. https://www.victorinox.com/global/en/Products/Cutlery/Chefs-Knives/Swiss-Classic-Santoku-Knife/p/6.8521.17G This all-rounder excels at slicing, dicing and mincing. Plus, it comes in five different hues (Black, Green, Pink, Yellow, and Orange), guaranteeing both of you will find the right colour for your blades. Swiss Classic Santoku Knife, $99.95
PS: According to superstition, a knife presented as a gift will sever the friendship between the giver and the recipient. A simple way to get around this is to tape a coin to the knife which must be promptly returned to the giver as a form of symbolic payment.
For the chocolate lovers

GadgetGuy’s take
GadgetGuy’s takeCheesy article – I know – but it is time to start thinking about romantic gifts. Whether it is your favourite power tool (for her) or something a bit more tech – jump online now and order it in time.
Think colourful keyboards and mice, Bluetooth speakers and headphones, webcams or even splurge on a new 2-in-1 or 360° hinge hybrid laptop.
Got any relevant romantic tech suggestions (not battery operated ‘toys’) – let me know.
