Creative Zen Vision:M and Aurvana in-ear 'phones
Show him you really care with the award-winning iPod nemesis, Creative's Zen Vision:M coupled with a set of Aurvana in-ear 'phones. While the Vision:M has the capability to keep any man occupied for hours on end thanks to its capacious 30GB or 60GB memory that can hold thousands of songs, tens of thousands of photos and hours of video, all displayed on the crystal clear 2.5in screen, it's the Aurvanas that signify the piéce de rèsistance. Why? Simple: these in-ear 'phones are among the most effective noise-blockers we've ever come across. Once in his ears, he won't be able to hear a single word you're saying. True love indeed.

Verdict
There's no doubting Valentine's Day is the weirdest holiday of the year. You don't get the day off work, it sucks if you're not in a relationship and if you are, it can suck even worse with the pressure on to make it great and keep the fires of love a-burning. But we think you'll agree, with this little lot to stoke the embers, it should be an evening of unabashed romance for all and sundry. Probably...
