If your other half isn't interested in traditional romantic gifts or your budget simply won't stretch to the ever-popular bling that is a girl's best friend, we've uncovered a few gadget-based treats to get pulses racing on Valentine's Day.

We've scoured the virtual aisles to find a collection of unisex gifts that will be perfect for the special man or woman in your life.

So don't leave your present buying until the last minute - show that you really care with one of these six gadget gifts that Cupid himself would surely endorse.

Glove Love - The Smitten - £24.99 from www.firebox.com We cannot fathom how man (or woman) kind has managed to survive for so long without this simple yet highly practical method of keeping closer on romantic strolls.

What we do know is that the Smitten will not only render one of your existing gloves useless but could possibly be the ultimate mark of affection, one notch below a his/her name tattoo.

Personalised Poster - Venn Diagram Poster - £19.99 from www.firebox.com This piece of circular-based design is truly a wonder. Choose from a multitude of colours, then insert your names, nicknames, or even kids' names into the crossover area and get creative.

Made in-house by the Firebox team, the Venn diagram might not have the sexiest name in the Valentine's Day gift catalogue, but we think it's about the most personalised item with a gadgety tweak that you can find.

Five A Day - Sweetheart Russian Dolls - £12.99 from www.iwantoneofthose.com It's the gift that keeps on giving - at least to a certain degree. Once this curvaceous doll is opened up, your beloved will be captivated, then intrigued as they open up the sisterhood inside.

When set side by side, they spell out "I will love you all day, every day, forever" - just trying to put that on paper made us a little teary. A decorative gift that'll look fabulous in any setting, these dolls may well appeal to his feminine side...

Well Smart - USB Flash Drive Cufflinks - £64.88 from www.amazon.co.uk Transporting data of any kind has never been a subject for romantic conversation. But if USB drives start to look like this, there may be a remote chance it is on the cards.

Certainly not just for "him", this pair of shirt cuff fasteners will impress just about anyone, recipient or otherwise. Inside is a very respectable 2GB of storage - more than enough to pre-load them with your own Valentine's Day music compilation.

Nostalgic Treat - Silver Plated Love Heart - £19.99 from www.firebox.com You can almost visualise the opener beaming from ear to ear when they unwrap this retro gift.

Deliver yours together with a packet of the sugary sweets and any potential sweet "hearts" will be melted.

Say It With Stationery - Heart Hand Punch - £8.61 from www.amazon.co.uk Ideal for the blossoming office romance, it's time to ensure your intentions are clear by punching them home with this ingenious device.

A sturdy metal office essential, it punches heart-shaped holes in anything paper-based. It's so much fun, we think you might just fall in love with filing all over again.

App of the week: Pocketbooth - Apple iOS If standard snaps of you and your beloved just won't do, take a trip down memory lane to the days when photobooths could be found almost everywhere.

But there's no need to seek one out because this clever app relives every aspect of the photobooth experience, without the expense - creating perfect pictures everytime.
