Are you shopping for a last minute Valentine’s gift for the geek girl in your life? Well, low and behold we have a great list of last minute ideas for you. Here is a thoughtful Valentine’s gifts that he or she doesn’t have to know were last minute. We can keep that between you and me.
This idea is something that won’t die after 5 days and it won’t set you back the $75 like that floral bouquet. Let’s make a modern mix tape.
Remember the 80’s and 90’s when you would load up a cassette or a CD full of love songs for your beloved? No one owns a cassette player and who needs a CD. I’ll show you how to put this together and another little something to make this a nice gift.
How to Make a Modern Mix Tape
Let’s modernize the mix tape with a USB drive full of romantic songs. In addition to the usb mix tape – pair this gift with bluetooth headphones. A geek gift that he or she will be sure to love. Personal and thoughtful and not too expensive (and it will last!)
I know what you are thinking, BUT I don’t know what songs to put on the mix tape… fear not – I’ve come up with a list of 10 to get you started. And the bluetooth headphones, yep – they are only $30 – order them with Amazon Prime to get them in time for Valentine’s day.
Don’t worry – they come in other colors than pink (Cool Blue, Arctic White, Ruby Red, Posh Pink), but aren’t they cute? AND they are BLUETOOTH, LOOK MOM! NO WIRES!
