Happy Monday, readers! I’ve got some big news today, but before I get to it, I’d like to give a big shout out of thanks to Peter Szabo, our Byte-Sized reporter who’s been on the floor covering the Consumer Electronics Show from Las Vegas. Such a great show, and so much fun stuff to discuss!

All the sites are buzzing today with wrap-ups and highlights – looks like 3-D has made a huge splash on the market, and everything from glasses to home theaters are being tossed around as the heir-apparent future! Oh, and e-readers rock, which we all (I hope) already knew.

Moving onwards and upwards from CES, I’d like to take a moment to remind all of you significant others out there that Valentine’s Day is a month away. I know, it’s like a cruel trick from the greeting card companies putting such a pressure-filled holiday so close to Christmas.

Rest assured, though, you forlorn loved ones, Byte-Sized has you covered!

Starting today and lasting one-a-week for the next 5 weeks, I’m going to give you the perfect gift for your sweetie: A Mimobot designer USB flash drive courtesy of the folks at Mimoco! But, it gets better: Each drive features the world’s most lovable, adorable, super-sweet mascot of cuteness Hello Kitty!

Fresh out of the design shops at Mimoco (my well-known personal fave – I own 2 myself), these Hello Kitty flash drives feature the iconic feline in 5 different settings. We’re giving away one of each. And, for the tech-heads, *2 gigs* of storage space to carry around everything from that novel she’s working on to a thousand love notes from you that you’d rather not leak on the ‘net.

This is how it’s going to work: Send me your name, number and address NOW to bytesized@captivate.com. If you don’t win one week, your name will automatically be entered into the next week’s drawing. The final winner will be picked on Feb. 10. Click here for the official giveaway rules.

If you’d like to bypass the chance aspect of the giveaway, head straight over to Mimoco’s site to browse there selection of amazing flash drives (some even come with a little hoodie to keep them warm!) or click here to go straight to the Hello Kitty section of the site.

This week’s design (featured above) is the Hello Kitty Balloon, retailing online for $24.95 – a perfect amount for every stage of relationship! Package it up with a box of designer chocolates** and you’re good to go!

**Hmmmm wonder where you could get an entire feature just on which awesome chocolate you should get for you’re sweetie this Valentine’s Day? Perhaps you should check out Captivate.com on Feb. 1….
