Its this age of practicality, and with Valentine’s day around the corner, we are sure to see people gushing with pink cheeks at their pink (or red) flowers that their bae gave them. But hey, who wants flowers that wither just a few days later? Is your love like a flower that loses its charm in a week (cheesy alert). And honestly, don’t flowers look best in a manicured garden?

But looks like flowers are passé. This girl ended up being the happiest girl, as she put it, after her boyfriend gave her a bouquet of nuggets. What a delicious treat! She tweeted her lovely gift and of course, it went viral.

So give those flowers a miss this Valentine’s and you can use our guide for a hatke Valentine’s gift. We have options for your tech savvy partner, your foodie partner and even your fitness freak partner. So here we go.

Gift an Apple watch, if you can afford one! Or even a fit bit. It’s a hot trend these days to flaunt a fitness tracker that actually does measure some major vitals for you. And a fitness freak will make the best use of it.

This is probably the best and maybe the most inexpensive. Gift your food-lover partner a food coupon, a pizza, a cookie box, chocolates or Indian and take them out for a ‘chaat’ date. Who doesn’t love an occasional panipuri or aloo tikki.

Gift a cool pair of Bluetooth headphones, so you partner can enjoy music whenever they want and dance their worries away. They can use them while watching Netflix or when they are off running in the park.

Gift them a kindle or even an old-fashioned book. Books are indeed great companions, and if your partner loves books and you want to test how much you know about them, then go ahead and pick a book.

Pictures are an everlasting memory. But hey, when was the last time you printed a picture of the two of you together? Well, this Valentine’s day, gift them a Polaroid camera and you can end up with an amazing scrapbook of all your adventures together.

Or if you have partner who takes jokes well, then give them a ‘fart fan.’ Yes, that’s a real thing, which helps wade off those smells. Umm...take a call as it can either be the best gift or the worst gift.

Now that we have given you so many options, you either use these or here’s another clue. Instead of overthinking, just be extremely practical and think about what your partner really likes. So go ahead and WOW your partner.
