Awful Valentine’s Day Gifts To Avoid

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, you may be racking your brain for the perfect gift for your beau. Keep in mind that there are times that “it’s the thought that counts” gifts just doesn’t cut it. While you may be in a relationship that can withstand a silly Valentine’s Day gift, exercise caution! That said, if you’re looking for a great prank Valentine’s Day gift, something on this list might just fit the bill. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you!

For today’s back to school tip, here are 8 awful Valentine’s Day gifts to avoid.

  1. Tattoo. You can’t tell me it wouldn’t freak you out if someone you were casually dating showed up with a tattoo with your name on it.
  2. Soap / Deodorant. Nothing says “I can’t stand the way you smell” like the gift of soap and deodorant.
  3. Stuffed Animals. While a teddy bear was a cute gift when you were 12, what are they really going to do with a stuffed animal?
  4. Mangroomer. If you have a hairy man, this electric back shaver is almost too good a gift not to give.
  5. Gym Membership. Anything fitness related (gym membership, exercise video, scale) screams that you’d love nothing more than for their body to change. This one’s a deal breaker!
  6. Carnations. When we talk about giving flowers for Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t include tacky carnations.
  7. Vacuum Cleaner. She’ll be reading between the lines that you think she’s a messy slob who can’t clean up after herself. Best to avoid this one.
  8. Padded Underwear. Even if your significant other could benefit from a more curvaceous caboose, you don’t have to rub it in their face!

Stay tuned for great Valentine’s Day gift ideas for college students!
