Valentine’s Tech Wishlist

amomentwithfranca · 3 February 2016 · 7 Comments

We are now very close to Valentine’s Day and I was thinking to do a list of potential presents that we could get for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a very special day for us because back in Feb 2007 on Valentine’s Day, Nick had the great idea of proposing to me! Yes guys, on Valentine’s Day! The funny thing is that you are probably expecting a romantic night out and then the typical surprise of popping the question. Well NO, this didn’t happen like this to us. He did propose that day but not in a fancy and romantic setting but in our flat while I was in bed after being super ill for a few days, LOL! Yes it is not the typical story that you might hear but for me it was a day to remember even though I was feeling very ill. Valentine’s Day is therefore a special day for us!

Valentine's Tech Wishlist new FI

Nick loves gadgets. He works in IT so you can imagine what a huge geek he can be, LOL. To be honest I kind of like this about him as I’m also a little geek at heart. We are both into technology and we love getting new products that are out there on the market. I came up with a list of 5 items that we would love to buy, which we would both enjoy. I hope I’m making sense, so anyway here we are:

Panasonic, Viera TV, 4K TV

Panasonic Viera 4K TV

I love this TV and I know for sure that Nick is really keen on getting a 4k TV. The experience of this TV is just amazing. It ultimately creates a better picture experience than the cinema by having a greater resolution, all from the comfort of your own home. 4K is the exciting and next huge leap forward. Additionally, on a 4K tv, you’ll also be able to view your photographs with a higher quality of detail. No longer will you have to zoom in on photos from your DSLR on your laptop – you’ll now be able to view them to the fullest on your 4K TV, the way they were meant to be seen. Isn’t this fantastic? A big YES!!! 😉

Apple Watch

Apple Watch

 

I really would like to try this watch and I also know that Nick really would like one of these too. We have spoken about this before but we have decided to wait a little bit more until perhaps a newer version has come out (I usually find Apple products are better after the first few versions have been released). So far, I have heard that it is good and I think it might soon be time to give it a go!!

Sonos:Play 5

Sono Play 5

I saw Nick the other day searching for this so I know that he would love to get it. Apparently, you’ll hear and feel all the emotion and energy the artist packed into the original recording. And connect with your favourite music on a far deeper level. You play your music from your various different devices which is great too. It really sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

Microsoft Surface Pro 4

Microsoft Surface Pro 4

This is a fan gadget. I didn’t know about it until Nick explained to me what it was. If you’re after a tablet but also a laptop, this item combines both which sounds fantastic. Now I really want one!! 😉

Nespresso Citiz Coffee Machine – Fire Engine Red

Nespresso Coffe Machine

This is actually something that we are both really keen to have. I recently went to a Nescafe event and they told me everything about coffee and since then I really want to try one of these coffee machines. Nick also loves coffee and we would both enjoy this a lot! 🙂

What do you think of this wishlist? Is there anything that you would also like to have? What is your wishlist for Valentine’s or perhaps a Tech wishlist? 

*Disclosure: collaborative post

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I love the look of the Surface, they are so easy to use too 🙂 I’d love a new TV, I really want an ultra hd TV. I haven’t seen the 4K ones… may have a gander at them when I am next in Currys 🙂

    Oh I love you proposal story. There is something very genuine about it. My husband would be so happy if I bought him some smart tech for Valentine’s Day. I think he’d vote for the TV. I’d love a new laptop.

    Wow! in spite of you being ill on that Valentines day, still it was memorable and romantic for him proposing on that special day. Anyway, my husband is a geek too and he always wants anything new in the market. Great list, lovely suggestions! #AnythingGoes

    Hi Franca, great idea for a valentines day post and I love that this is such a special day for you and Nick :-). We have a couple of these items on your list and can vouch for them being great – the Apple Watch and the Nespresso machine. We’ve had our tv for a while so wouldnt mind getting a new 4K one like the one you’ve put on your list! I hope you manage to get one or two of these things in 2016 ;-). Thanks as always for linking up to #MarvMondays . Emily x
