10 Gifts to Skip on Valentines Day

If you don’t already know, Tuesday is Valentines Day!! I’m guessing that if this your reminder, you should probably step away from the internet and start getting your last minute idea into motion! However, read this first and decide to not get ANY of these things for your special friend, unless you want to be spending the rest of the night alone.

Love Coupons

While this may seem sweet to you, not to mention $free$, to the recipient it says “CRAP I totally forgot about Valentines Day, let me make them coupons for things I should already be doing anyway!”

Stuffed Animal

Unless you’re dating a 12 year old, please leave the teddy bears and other animals on the shelf.

Game Console

Even if you’re S.O. is a total gamer, you shouldn’t be spending the day of love playing video games!

Dinner @ a Sports Bar

Yes, sports bars can have great food, who doesn’t love wings? But on Valentines Day, no! Step up your game a bit and either go somewhere that requires reservations, or make a great meal at home!

Gift Cards

This is worse that the love coupons, because it’s desperately obvious that you a)forgot b)have no idea what to get the person c)a combination of the two that will get you into trouble.

Lingerie

You’ll probably get the wrong size and she’ll hate it, even if she smiles and says thank you. Leave it up to her to find the right stuff.

Same Thing as Your Last GF

Now I get it, when you discover something that totally worked with your last lover, you remember it and want to try it out on others. But with gifts, no way! It’s lazy and pretty much guarantees that they will find out.

Drug Store Gift

This is just so obvious that you forgot about Valentines Day, it’s pathetic! If you are in that much a rush to throw something together, at least let it be flowers, REAL flowers, from a florist.

Pizza Hut Proposal

Honestly, if you have $10,000 to spend on a proposal, do not BLOW it on Pizza Hut’s package. I don’t care if you met a Pizza Hut or had your first date there (shame on you if that’s the case). A limo + greasy chain pizza + a ruby engagement ring = confused lady friend. Take your $10,000 and plan something out that is truly special.

Nothing

Now I know I’ve knocked the lazy last minute gifts, but seriously, they are better than nothing. Don’t give her an I.O.U card or simply nothing at all unless you want her to dump you. And if you do want the relationship to end, step up and end it yourself far in advance of Valentines Day!

Hopefully this list helps steer you away from gifts that will get you dumped! What was the worst V-Day present you’ve given or received? Did we forget any? We hope you all have a great Valentines Day, don’t go too overboard on the chocolate!
