Valentine’s Day is almost here and there’s still a little time to order a unique last-minute gift online. Sure, you can always just buy some chocolates and flowers (or man flowers aka hoppy beer), but you’ve likely already done that before. Red stands for love so let’s get the heart beating with these love-hued Valentine’s Day gifts.

Jawbone UP24

Let your partner know how much you love them by giving them the gift of health. The Jawbone UP24 has wireless syncing for in-the-moment notifications and personalized insights to keep them moving forward towards their sleep and activity goals. They’ll be able to track their activity and eating (and drinking) habits by taking a photo, scanning a barcode or searching the UP app database. Just think, the healthier (and happier) they are, the nicer they’ll be towards you.

Suunto Watches

Suunto has a variety of MacGyver-like watches that will give the man in your life the ability to move mountains and part the sea… even in a polar vortex to get to you. These wrist-top computer watches come equipped with cool features like an altimeter (for finding distance above sea level and terrain), barometer, compass and weather indicator.

Angry Bird Basher

Here’s a great gift for kids. For the times when you need to “borrow” your iPhone or iPad from your toddler, they won’t be able to resist the Angry Bird Basher.

Taylor Swift – Red

Sometimes it’s just easier to let Taylor Swift explain love to your coming-of-age daughter. Here are some lyrics from her song Red.

“Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street. Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly,

Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you’re already flying through the free fall. Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all.”

For Your Teenage Son:

Red 2

Need a gift for a teenage boy? How about the movie Red 2 with Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker? Because when they’re not saving the world themselves, the boys in our lives love a good superhero movie filled with car chases.
