Yes, at $525, this is a splurge gift. And given the shipping delays, it’s probably gonna be an IOU for February 14. But if your beau is both an Apple guy and a serious music fan, he’ll probably appreciate this more than, say, a fancy watch.

Callaway Arts & Entertainment
If your sweetheart enjoyed Peter Jackson’s recent Beatles Disney+ docuseries, Get Back, he’ll love this music-themed tome. The Beatles: Get Back documents the legendary band’s last year together. Previously unpublished images and the Fab Four’s own words help memorialize 1969, making this a fascinating read for any Beatles fan.
Sweet heart bamboo
Forget flowers; opt for a romantic plant instead
