So, the big day of love has come and gone and in its wake, left a trail of gifts. Some fabulous. Some horrendous. If you got chocolates and roses, you probably didn’t run into too much trouble on the holiday, but even playing it safe can be a bad call if you’re not read-up on your gift recipient. I recently found this out while interviewing a few random people on the streets…one person cited chocolates as his worst gift received! (He has never liked chocolate and says anyone who knows him knows this). So here we go, some of the biggest Valentine’s Fails and hopefully things to avoid for next year.
An In-N-Out giftcard
Besides the fact that this seriously lacks that romantic element, this gift was for a vegetarian. Awkwardddd…
A bag of Carl’s Jr. Food
Definitely no-frills and worthy of relationship evaluation.
Jenga
Unless you can find a way to make this game sexy, definitely not suitable for V-day.
Sparkly Green Eyeshadow
The recipient noted that this gift was the gaudy kind, not the Vogue/statement kind. Also, she does not wear makeup.
Leather wallet
This gift was for a vegan, of all people.
Handmade chandelier of broken glass and hemp rope
No explanation needed.
Grocery store gift card
Useful, but strange for the holiday of love.
Ugly socks
I’m talking the kind with two colors that will never match. Ever.
One Direction T-shirt
This was for a 24 year old who would much rather be seen in public in her underwear than in this.
A love poem with incorrect grammar
A lovely sentiment, but unfortunately, for an English major.
