REALLY BAD Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

1/31/2017

 
Picture
Most of us try hard to find the perfect gift for our special someone.  Many companies have really cute ideas out there for your loved one... and some, well... we're not sure what they were thinking. 

If you are on the hunt for the perfect Valentine's Day gift, steer clear of these! 
They probably won't win you any brownie points.



"Creative Novel Outdoor Sports Bicycle Mountain Bike Rear Light LED Flash Heart Lump Warning Nightlight Safety Warning Fog Light Cycling Warm Tailight " 

We've all seen these hanging from the back side of massive pick-up trucks on the highway... this is not a heart.  You know what it is REALLY supposed to be.  In our opinion, this is not creative - it's distracting.

This questionable gift can be found on AMAZON

Picture
Picture




"How To Live With An Idiot: Clueless Creatures and the
People Who Love Them"


If you receive this book as a gift, someone is trying to tell you something.

This book can be found on EBAY



"I didn't Fart My Ass Blew You A Kiss  - 11OZ Coffee Mug"

Nothing says love like a mug... and a tacky phrase.  If you are given this as a gift for Valentine's Day, you may want to seek some marriage counseling.

This tacky gift can be found on AMAZON

Picture
Picture

Valentines day is coming up!! - $500  "At the end of a divorce, and my soon-to-be ex-wife and I are selling it. (yeah I know we get along really well still, you know acting like adults!!) :) Size 8   I bought at kays about 3 years ago."

Please don't give anyone a ring for Valentine's Day that has been advertised as the result of a marriage ending.

This gem can be found on CRAIGSLIST




"She Wants a Ring--And I Don't Wanna Change a Thing: How a Man Can Overcome His Fears of Commitment and Marriage"


This may be helpful to some, but sending a hint like this is not a great Valentine's Day gift!


You can find this book on EBAY

Picture
Picture


"Kemilove Amusing Emoji Emoticon Cushion Heart Eyes Poo Shape Pillow Doll Toy Gift (Cute)
"


You've got to be kidding us with this.  Is this really a gift?  Who would want a pile of poop as a pillow?  No joke, it comes in 7 colors!


This absurd gift can be found on AMAZON

2/3  of the way full  -- Acqua di Gioia Jasmine - $40
"My ex husband bought this for me and I have no desire to wear it anymore. It's a great scent, I hate to see it go to waste. This was the larger bottle, 3.4 oz I believe, less than 1/3 of it has been used."

Someone's loss is not your gain on Valentine's Day.  If your buying perfume or cologne, spring for a new, full bottle!

This half-hearted gift can be found on CRAIGSLIST

Picture
Picture


"Preserved Heart  Valentines Day Gift "


Yep, this is exactly what it says it is.  There is an added note to the description, "One Bad @$$ Valentines Present For That Special Goth In Your Life"

Proceed with caution.

This heart-felt gift can be found on EBAY




"Undies for Two (New Box)"

Gosh, we would hope this is new.  It seems that underwear is best worn one pair and one person at a time.
We're not sure what the message is here... but we think you can have fun on Valentine's Day without a giant pair of underwear.


This gag gift can be found on AMAZON

*** Good luck with  your Valentine's Day gift purchase! If you can't think of something creative, remember that thoughtfulness and kind words always go a long way!

Give your Valentine a romantic gift by renewing your wedding vows
in the Sweetheart City, Loveland Colorado!
