Last-minute Valentine's Day deals for the techie in your life
Feb 10, 2012 3:15 PM

Still shopping for a present for your significant other? Valentine's Day is coming up fast, but we found some last-minute deals that might light a love fire for you.

Sony
You can find some sweet Valentine's deals at Sony.com, including 15 percent off all Vaio Z Series laptops and the Cyber-shot W530 point-and-shoot with a matching case for $90 in pink, if you so desire, or less-girly black (The Vaio Z Series was a standout in CR testing; we found that the W530 takes very good photos overall but had a slower response time than other models).

Toon Boom Animation Software
If you sweetie's an animation artist—or is aspiring to be one—this software company is selling all its home-user products at 50 percent off till Valentine's Day. Titles include Toon Boom Studio, which the company claims "makes all animation techniques accessible to users."

ThinkGeek
This always-entertaining site is offering some truly original (and affordable) Valentine's Day gift suggestions. Check out the 8-Bit Flower Bouquet ($15), the LED Falshing Sweetheart Kit ($10), the "I Love My Geek" men's t-shirt ($17 to $19), and lots more fun stuff.

Target.com
The retailer has a massive Valentine's Day clearance sale going on, and it includes Blu-ray and DVD movies: Find such romantic titles as "Day of the Dead" and "Assault on Precinct 13." But you can narrow the search to Romantic Comedy or Romantic Drama, thank goodness.

EDealInfo.com
This deal aggregator has pulled together a long list of deals from a wide variety of retailers just in time for the holiday of love, and many of them are electronics devices and accessories. We spotted Creative Sound Blaster gaming headphone, a Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote, and cases for everything from smart phones to D-SLR cameras.

Most of the products listed here aren't ones we've reviewed, so do your research before you buy. For the major electronics categories, you can check Consumer Reports Ratings (available to subscribers).

And if you're shopping online, our free Guide to Online Security offers plenty of tips and advice to keep you and your money safe.
