It is that time of the year when you will want to make your loved one feel exceptional. And if you are undecided on what to get that special person, we have some practical yet cool suggestions that you can get your hands on, that too without having to burn a hole in your pocket.

Phones and music players are a thing of the past and it is time you thought out of the box. IBTimes UK has listed 10 such cool tech gifts within £100 ($144) that will sure leave a lasting impression on your love this Valentine's Day:

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera – £69 to £75

We are aware that very few people care for printed photos these days, with most taking selfies for social media. But, how about cherishing those old-world moments?

While instant and reusable cameras have been in markets for some time now, we think the latest Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 would be the best bet this Valentine's Day. It automatically determines the best brightness for taking a picture, and informs you of a suitable setting by lighting the corresponding lamp.

It comes with complementary shots of 10 and 20 and extra ones can always be purchased. Available in white, blue, pink, yellow and black colours, pick the best you think your valentine will love.

Intuos Creative Stylus 2 - £62 to £79

Do not worry if you are not a thumb person. Styluses have been hugely popular last year and with Apple not giving us any stylus option this piece of tech can be a magic pen for you.

iHome Bluetooth Glowtunes Alarm Clock Radio: £59 - £65

Most of us are fed up of smartphone alarms that can be put on snooze each minute and ultimately serves no purpose. Hence, there is this super cool alarm clock suggestion that not only sounds screechy enough to wake you up, but also has a radio and changes colour.

The iHome Bluetooth Glowtunes Alarm Clock Radio is compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled audio device including smartphones. You can stream wireless digital audio via Bluetooth. With built-in mic and voice echo cancellation the iBT29 allows you to answer and end calls as well.

Kindle Paperwhite - £99

Kindle will never be down and out no matter how many improved reader apps and screens are introduced by smartphone and tablet makers along with developers. For book lovers who cannot do without their daily dosage of reading this is an evergreen gift until something better comes along.

At just under £100 the latest Paperwhite has twice as many pixels as the previous generation, Kindle Paperwhite, and has an improved high-resolution 300ppi display for crisp, print-quality text. A single charge can last up to six weeks (based on half an hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at ten).

Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating Earphones - £26 to £30

If your valentine loves music, but has always refrained from buying those top-end headphones, here is your chance to gift a brand new pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating Earphones.

Its not as pricey as other earphones. For the price it is probably one of the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. The ear phones are secure and comfortable and offer pleasantly full bass while including an integrated remote and microphone and a nice carrying case.

Misfit Shine Personal Physical Activity Monitor - £56 to £75

Move over Fitbit and instead try out a Misfit Shine. Not only does it have a distinct look differentiating it from rest of the fitness bands it has great substance too. It includes a clip and wristband mounts and is fully waterproof.

Critics will advise you to buy better trackers that provide more information, but we are suggesting this not because it full of glam or filled with features, but its has a mix of both and qualifies as a stylish tech gift this Valentine's Day.
