10 gifts for your valentine that suck

It’s the month of February and love is in the air. Time for expression of love and gifts are the most common medium to do it. Here’s a list of gifts that are a complete NO for your significant other.

For Guys:

1) Scrapbook:

Scrapbooks are supposed to be mushy, girlie, nostalgic – precisely the things for which guys can’t stand them. Remember he is your boyfriend, not a girlfriend who needs the emotional journey. Moment of truth: your gift would be found in a dusty corner of his drawer the next day.

2) Poem:

If your guy belongs to the artistic type that’s a different story, but normal guys (not that artists are abnormal…but that’s a way to put it) then a poem is not the kind of gift your boyfriend would like to receive. Like a scrapbook, a poem is too sentimental for the ordinary man. Men don’t like guessing ambiguous messages and poems are nothing but undercurrents.

3) A C.D of Celine Dion Hits:

Dearie, you may have the notion that Celine is an angel sent from the Garden of Eden with her heavenly voice, but “My Heart Will Go On” isn’t the song that would be found in your guy’s iPod’s play list.

4) Flowers:

Although women adore flowers and have a knack for flower arrangements and enhancing the beauty of them but men are usually at a loss to comprehend these notions. Bottom line: Don’t waste your money on flowers for your guy.

5) Cuddly Teddies:

Unless your guy hasn’t grown up chances are you’d get a forced smile in return of the cute lil’ teddybear you have just gifted him. Men are supposed to be ruff n’ tuff and they prefer to hide the fact that they have a soft and childish side of themselves, unlike women, so they don’t appreciate the reminder of it.

For Girls:

6)Exercise Equipment:

If you want your wife or girlfriend to ignore you for a week, surprise her with a new treadmill on Valentine’s Day. Your significant other will draw only one conclusion from your generosity. That she’s getting fat and flabby. Is that really the mood you want to set on Valentine’s Day? Trust me the only extra weight she would shed after this gift would be you.

7) Household Appliance: .

Do you really think your lady is dreaming of getting a new toaster this Valentine’s Day? After she unwraps her brand new, state of the art toaster, the only thing that’s going to be toast is you. The same applies for a host of other practical appliances.

Video Games:

Sure some of us like to play video games once in a while. But really guys, this gift says “this game is so cool…so how could she not love it!” It’s a gift for “yourself” that you hope she can get into. Not very romantic. We’re just not interested in perfecting our Resident Evil riffs today guys.

9) A Pet Inspired Present :

Even if she prizes her pooch almost as much as she loves you, gifting her with a pet-inspired present but nothing for her personally is a surefire way to end up in the doghouse.

10) The absolute worst!

Yes, you’ve probably guessed it by now. The absolute worst gift you can get your wife or significant other for Valentine’s Day is nothing. Don’t even try explaining this one since words will be futile. Better luck next year! Count on sleeping on the couch for quite a few nights after this major faux pas.
