Turned off by Valentines Roses? Switch on with Freeplay Energy
For Valentine's cynics seeking an inspired alternative to red roses and chocolate boxes, or for pure romantics looking for additional gifts to stimulate the gadget lover in their life, Freeplay Energy provides the solution for pressing all the right buttons this year.

The world's first wind-up DAB (digital) radio - the Devo, priced at £99.99, with its high-tech carbon fibre fascia and 'no batteries required' appeal will delight all radio and gadget lovers. Only a 60 second wind is required for three to five minutes of DAB listening, or one hour of FM listening. Fully charged the Devo provides six hours of DAB (digital) entertainment or up to 36 hours of analogue FM - the perfect accompaniment to an indulgent Valentine's evening.

Or, how about generating some funky flashlight fun, with the compact Xray LED torch. The blue, green or pink transparent casing allows the user to view the unique wind-up mechanism inside and only needs a 30 second wind for 20 minutes of light. Fully charged the flashlight provides an incredible three hours and 20 minutes of shine and is priced at £29.99.

For a larger, more robust torch, the Jonta provides the answer. Housed in a sleek silver casing, the 1 Watt white Luxeon Star LED needs only a 30 second wind for 10 minutes of power. Priced at around £49.99, the Jonta will provide a beam of up to an impressive 50 metres, with shine visibility of up to three kilometres.
