Set the mood with a few LED candles, spruce up the apartment with some love-centric aromas, make sure your breath is kissably fresh, put some romantic tunes on (bonus: give her the flash drive to keep!) and wow your geeky gal with one of the following Valentine’s Day gifts.

Pink laptops, pink tool kits, pink this or that. Real women don't need or want it pink, we want it to WORK! When are you marketers going to get it through your thick heads that we don't want to be pandered or condescended to?
