Nomad modern leather AirPods Pro case
AirPod cases can feel so basic. Why not level up your Valentine's AirPod situation with a leather case from Nomad Goods? This sleek case comes in four different colors and offers a wonderful fit for both the AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2.

The JBL Go 4 is our expert editors' pick for best sounding micro Bluetooth speaker. For such a tiny speaker -- it literally fits in a pocket -- the JBL Go 4 sounds surprisingly good, though it has its limitations (something this small can only produce so much bass and sound). The speaker is rated for seven hours of playtime at moderate volume levels. Plus, it's IP67 waterproof and dustproof, so your giftee can take their tunes to their next picnic or backyard hang.
The Go 4 is available in nine colors, so you can pick the one that best fits their style, too.
ESR wireless MagSafe car charger
A car charger might not scream "romance," but if your Valentine's phone is constantly running out of juice, it can actually be a thoughtful gift that makes their daily life a little easier. ESR's Qi2 model is a MagSafe-certified wireless car charger with fast 15-watt charging for both iPhones and Android phones. The air-vent mount has a pretty strong magnet, and it's well-designed with a clamp for extra support that allows it to hook on securely. Additionally, the mount has some built-in cooling (ESR calls it CryoBoost) to keep the charger from overheating.
