If your significant other is smitten by sleek, simple-to-use gadgets, we've got a few compelling Valentine's Day gift suggestions. 

Digital Cameras: Pretty as their pictures
More than an elegant red casing makes the slimline Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8, $300, a great Valentine gift. A non-telescoping 4.6x zoom lens and illuminated control buttons sets it aside from 17 other recommended point-and-shoot digital cameras. All offer the very good image quality, large LCD viewers, short first- and next-shot delay times, and wide-angle capabilities crucial to capture cute candids and lovely landscape shots.

Choose the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS, $150, if you're on a budget; you'll still get the image stabilization that rescues images from shaky hands. The Canon EOS Rebel XSi, $550, or the Nikon D5000, $600, offer the power of a single-lens reflex camera and the ability to shoot video in a more compact package.

Pocket camcorders: More ways to capture romantic moments
These ultra-portable, easy-to-operate small wonders make it easier to capture romantic outings, wedding toasts, or family moments to send to far-off partners. The Pure Digital Flip Video UltraHD, $200, has a very straightforward design, with a big red button to turn the camcorder on and off. It's easy to use and has decent sound. If you're always on the go or are shooting lots of action, the Kodak Zi8, $180, includes image stabilization.  Both plug directly into a USB port to upload videos to your computer or the Web.

Music players: Embrace the Touch, swoon over a Zune or go Nano?
Apple's 32GB iPod Touch, $300, lets your artfully arrange songs, movies into a perfect playlist of songs to pipe in over romantic dinners, browse the Web, or download and play games. Microsoft's 32GB Zune HD, $290 offers high-definition FM radio and lets you buy any songs that might move you via Wi-Fi or tag them for future download. Both players offer sharp touch screens that make finding content a snap. For athletic couples, the smaller iPod Nano ($180 for 16GB), is ideal for workouts or outdoor dates. Its built-in camcorder, FM radio, and ability to pause and rewind live broadcasts have won enough hearts to make it one of the most popular players on the market.
