This special beanie was made for your handy Valentine — now down to just $15

Flowers and spa treatments are two of the most common (and, reportedly, effective) Valentine's Day gifts, and while they definitely never go out of style, their very commonality makes them a little ... uninspired, don't you think? Sometimes the best V-Day gift is something unexpected yet tailored to their habits and needs. And if it's got a little quirky charm to boot, then all the better! For instance, if your special person is super handy and loves fixing things around the house, Unisex Beanie With Light will make the perfect gift they didn't see coming. They will, however, be seeing their way around your home's dark and dimly lit areas during their DIY adventures. It's pretty genius and is on sale for as low as $15 for a limited time at Amazon.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

This handyperson-friendly lid is such an inspired gift, in fact, that your could-be recipient probably doesn't even know it exists. And while it's not the lowest it's ever been, its price recently rose as high as $20, then dropped just in time for the Valentine's Day shopping rush, so we'd grab it now before it shoots up again.

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you've ever seen your handy loved one try to balance a work light or flashlight with a tool (which, by the way, is incredibly dangerous and ill-advised), then you know how useful (and, perhaps, accident-avoiding) this beanie could be. It provides clear hands-free lighting so they can saw, nail, screw, clean or paint the task in question.

It's one-size-fits-all, and, like most standard beanies, it's stretchy and fits over any head with ease. Also, since it's made of a soft acrylic blend, it offers pretty impressive insulation against cold winter air — another plus!

The built-in light has four bulbs with three adjustable brightness settings, so they'll be able to adjust it depending on the conditions they're working under. If one of the bulbs dies, they won't have to buy an entirely new hat — they can just swap in a new one.

Oh, and the light is rechargeable via standard USB and lasts for up to eight hours on a single juice-up. Just plug it into any power bank, computer, or car dash to get it powered up again.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 20,000 Amazon shoppers gave this smart hat a five-star rating with tons saying it makes the best practical gift.

Pros 👍

"One year later and it still works," one pleased shopper wrote. "This was a gift for my wife. She wanted a headlamp for when she feeds the horses." (Please tell us her name is Winnie!)

"I bought these hats as Christmas gifts for my father and brother-in-law and they both raved over them," another reviewer said. "They are both outdoors people and guys who like to work on cars and things and these hats with lights are amazing for seeing into small spaces."

Like evening strolls to the dark end of the street? "This hat is awesome for nighttime use, especially if you need to walk a dog [or] run outside to throw out the trash," a third fan raved. "It's perfect. The light goes on easily and is nice and bright without blinding you. You can see straight ahead of yourself and it works very well with no dimming."

Cons 👎

One honest reviewer noted that while it "works well enough to work outside delivering packages," there's one setback that's common with hats like this one: "The material is a little scratchy, like most knit hats," the shopper said.

A final shopper said while the light is "very strong," they gave it four stars because of the fit: "The top of the beanie sticks up," they wrote. "[I] wish it would be softer so it drapes down."
