So here is our curated Valentine’s Day edit to help you celebrate love, your way, all under Rs 5,999:
Sony PlayStation DualSense Controller
Valentine’s Day is all about the thought. And if your significant other is a gamer, be it a PlayStation or a PC, this could be a thoughtful one. Presenting the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller, the OG controller for PS5. No gamer with a console can get enough of new gaming controllers.
And the best part? PS5 DualSense controller works on a laptop or PC via USB-C cable (plug-and-play) or Bluetooth. It is compatible with Windows 11 and macOS for gaming, especially on platforms such as Steam. Despite it carrying an MRP of Rs 6,390, it is available online between Rs 5,500 and Rs 5,900, almost all the time, depending on the colour.
Philips STH5030/20 Handheld Garment Steamer
If your significant other is one who likes to dress sharp for office (or for a date with you), and spends way too much time ironing their garments, this thoughtful gift will be truly appreciated.
Presenting the Philips STH5030/20 Handheld Garment Steamer—pure 1400W of steam power delivered at a continuous 24 g/min steam rate, smoothening out wrinkles in minutes without the fuss of an ironing board.
It comes with dual detachable water tanks (120 ml + 200 ml) for long or quick steaming sessions. The pointed tip lets your significant other tame tricky areas like collars, ruffles and cuffs with precision. Sharp, sweet, and practical. Retails at a brand bargain of Rs 5,749 currently.
Cellecor Aurifry Air Fryer
What's Valentine's Day without the thought of care, comfort, and well-being! And with well-being comes healthier cooking. If your Valentine is the Michelin-chef-tryout-but-stuck-in-another-city-cooking-for-themselves (like how I was in the early years of my career), the Cellecor Aurifry Air Fryer is a great buy.
Pure 1500W of power to get efficient cooking—be it frying, baking, grilling, or roasting—armed with a sleek touch control panel and 8 pre-set menus, what more do you want for a quick meal? And the price? Just Rs 3,799.
HMD Touch 4G
Long-distance too long? Is your Valentine in a place where you get only 4G? You need a gadget just to keep in touch, but don't want to splurge on iPhones and Pixels? The humble HMD Touch 4G is a great pick—simplicity with smart connectivity.
A decent touchscreen with decent battery backup, video calls and voice messaging via Express Chat, with 4G LTE connectivity—all from the makers of Nokia. Because, what is Valentine's Day if not for "Connecting People." And here is the highlight. It is just Rs 4,199.
DailyObjects Taiga Backpack
All relationships come with a bit of baggage, but what matters is how you package it. Presenting the DailyObjects Taiga Backpack—a unisex statement piece. This 19L nylon ripstop backpack fits a 14-inch laptop, is water-repellant, and has not one, but two water bottle pockets on the side.
It also comes armed with D-rings for attaching accessories like AirPods, and a quick-access front compartment. It has an MRP of Rs 5,499, but it is usually on offer, sometimes as low as Rs 3,999.
Whether your Valentine loves gaming, staying seamlessly connected, cooking healthy, or looking sharp, the right gadget can create shared experiences and lasting memories. Hope this list helps you in this season of love and gifting.
