Worst Valentine's Day Gifts Ever!

This is the DO NOT BUY gift guide. Before you buy or give any gift to a Valentine, make sure the item is not on this list.

Stuffed Animals

Unless your girlfriend actually “likes” stuffed animals, or is 12, do not buy her a stuffed animal for Valentine's Day. Stuffed animals are what you get a girl when you don't know what else to buy her, or you've waited until the last minute and that is all that is left on the cleaned-out store shelves. A woman knows if you just bought it the last minute.

Appliances

An appliance is practical, useful, and completely impersonal. It is everything a Valentine's Day gift is NOT.Your girlfriend or wife may desperately need a new toaster or vacuum cleaner but don't dare buy one for Valentine's Day.

A Key Chain that Says "I Love You”

It just sends a very wrong signal , is he cheap? did he just bought this? is this a re-gift? Unless you are inviting someone to move in with you, and there is a key attached, do not give a key chain for Valentine's Day.

Lingerie

(SIGNAL ALERT: PERVERT) Lingerie for Valentine's Day is a tough one. If you have not been intimate yet, or are buying a red and black teddy because you like it, don't. If you know your woman's exact sizes, the styles she likes and you know for a fact that she enjoys wearing lingerie, then go ahead and take the plunge.

Jewellery in a Ring-Sized Box

Jewellery is not bad actually it shows class but avoid giving any gift that comes in a small ring-sized box. She might think "will he or won't he ask" and you won't, can cause some upset in the mood. At a certain point in a relationship, a woman might like a ring. If your relationship is at this stage, and yes, you will know, because it probably already came up in conversation.

Sugar-Free Chocolate

Unless your woman is an actual diabetic, never ever give her sugar-free or "diabetic" chocolates. She will not take it kindly.

Porn

No need to say more.

A Gift with the Wrong Name

Need a time machine? Some guys like to cast a wide net in their Valentine's Day pursuits. So if you are giving gifts to more than one woman, be sure the right name is attached.

Remember the basic rule for Valentine's Day giving is; to find, buy, make or do something that is a reflection of your true feelings with your relationship.

Women working in an office know that there are certain supplies that they absolutely need to have. While this list is totally practical, the woman working in your office will appreciate this. Many of these items can be purchased at a Dollar Store, Drugstore, Grocery Store and even in a corner store.

Give the gifts in a more presentable wrap. Even a small Valentine’s bag would suffice.

A Lip balm
A couple of wipes
Small rolling lint brush
Sugar-free mints or gum
Small bottle of hand-sanitizer
Small size bottled of hand lotion
Small manicure set with tweezers and nail file

These are just a couple of practical ideas for brightening the day of one of your women friends in your office on Valentine's Day.

Alright guys, you know it's coming. You know February 14 is near. Do not wait until the last minute to buy your girlfriend a gift for Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is not optional, it is mandatory!

These gifts may look the same-o same-o during Valentine’s Day, but they have been tried and loved by girlfriends worldwide. There is nothing wrong in buying these contemporary gifts because every girl expects to have one on Valentine's Day. So make your girlfriend happy or.... take it to the next level and make her ecstatic.

Chocolate

Even though she says she's on a diet and does not want chocolate, she does. She may not want to eat it on Valentine's Day, but at some point in the next month she will be looking for some chocolate. It does not have to be a lot of chocolate, just some chocolate.

Contemporary: A heart-shaped box of mixed chocolates. Not just ordinary looking chocolate you see in a counter. It has to be a chocolate symbolizing love and care.

Upgrade: Purchase a couple bags or bars of her favourite chocolate. Does she like Dove, Hershey's or Godiva? If you don't know her favourite chocolate, you need to find out. M & M chocolate does customizing for their products for a price plus shipping. She will appreciate the fact that you know her favourite chocolates, and that you went to the extra effort to make a nice presentation to her.

Valentine's Card

You need to get her a Valentine's Day card that you did not pick out at the gas station on the way to her house.

Contemporary: Go early and select a meaningful, romantic (not humour’s) card.

Upgrade: Write a personalized note in the store bought card. Make your own with pictures from your personal computer and get it printed in a printer depot. Write what you feel, say what you mean.

Flowers

There is no way you can get past Valentine's Day without giving your girl flowers and survive the relationship. Flowers is the must have for any occasion. Anniversary, Birthday, Get-well, Sorry (I’m stupid) and of course Valentine’s.

Contemporary: Long-stemmed Roses or her favourite flowers.

Upgrade: One dozen Roses (or her favourite flowers) then send the flowers to her place of work on Valentine's Day. Custom (heart) shape bamboo plants. Then add a heart shaped balloons and candy. Have a custom made design for the flowers.

Guys, make your life easier and your girlfriend happy on Valentine's Day.
