Ah Valentine’s Day… the most ‘romantic’ day of the year. Except, not. With all the pressure on to treat your loved one to over-the-top displays of affection, we’re taking a stand and saying a nice card and a focus on the little things is a thousand times better than all the tat that’s being shoved at you! For the men in doubt who do want to make a grand gesture, though… a few helpful hints. The gifts below are the ones to avoid. Good luck!
________________________________
“Sexy” Underwear
Nice underwear is a joy, and a treat we’d love, but if you want to buy it for us… bring us. Take us shopping and let us explain. Just know this; all pants
should have a crotch.
Celebrity Perfumes
Tread very carefully here. While most of us are fine to be considered
Lovely a la SJP, buy us a perfume with the face of a TOWIE star or Paris Hilton on the font of it and you have just dug yourself a rather large hole, buddy.
Home Appliances
Because nothing says romance like a new vacuum cleaner. Thanks love.
Sweets/Chocolate that we don’t even like
Turkish delight, REALLY? DO YOU NOW KNOW ME AT ALL?!
The Gift That’s Really for You
“You said you really wanted to see The Lord of the Rings trilogy!”
No love, you did.
Teddy Bears
Adorable when we were thirteen, but do you really think this large bear holding a heart that says “I wuff you” is going to add to our bedroom ambiance?
Exercise Equipment
We may have told you a thousand times we’re planning to join the gym. This is not the time to remind us.
