The women of PopSci round up the best new gifts for geeky Valentines

Girl Gadgets

Eeesy on the Eyes: Our favorite tiny, inexpensive, easy-to-use PC runs on Linux and is shock-proof, preinstalled with 40 popular applications and, need we mention . . . pink? Asus Eee PC, $300
Thinking of giving flowers and candy this Valentine's Day? Nice gesture, but chances are your girl would prefer something a little shinier. Something with buttons perhaps, and a flash drive. Fortunately, PopSci is here to make shopping a breeze.

She likes jewelry? How about a necklace decked out with resistors? (It's pretty, we promise.) A sucker for sweets? Get her chocolates shaped like Miis. Got a cuddler on your hands? Buy a blanket covered in binary code. Remember, creativity goes a long way, but a little Internet goes further.

Launch our gift guide; we won't say a word.
