The 12 Worst Gifts to get on Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Wyoming chapter.

As far as my perfect Valentine’s day goes, I’ll be spending it with the boyfriend and dog, and eating so, so much chocolate.

On the first day of Valentine’s Day, my true love gave to me, a really, really bad gift. And on the second day, I probably dumped him. Okay, totally kidding. But there are certain things that you shouldn’t get bae for Valentine’s Day. And here are 12 of them for the 12 days of Chris… er…. Valentine’s Day.

1. A Weight Watchers Membership

Nothing like saying, “You’re perfect the way you are,” then implying that they need to lose weight.

 

2. An IOU

No thanks, I would like an actual gift. Dear boyfriend, you’ve known this date was coming up.

 

 

3. An unforeseen pregnancy announcement.

Uh…surprise?

 

4. Dental hygiene products.

Like… do I have bad breath?

 

5. A jewelry box… with nothing that you were expecting.

 

If you like me you should have put a… necklace… in it. But if he were to propose with a Ring Pop or a ring with Mac ‘n Cheese on it, I wouldn’t complain.

 

6. An empty box of chocolates

 

He probably ate them already. I would too.

 

7. A text message, and no other gift.

Dude..that’s like, zero effort.

 

8. Anti aging products.

 

At least he wants to cherish your youth.

 

9. Hair removal products.

 

I’m talking about wax strips, Nair, or anything else. Ladies, he’s basically telling you he wants a longer mustache than you. If he can’t take you at your worst, why should he deserve your best?

 

10. A break-up

Ouch.

 

11. A file for divorce

 

Double ouch.

 

12. Nothing at all.

Triple Ouch.

Hopefully none of you *actually* get these gifts for Valentine’s Day. And if you do-you can certainly enjoy a whole box of chocolates to yourself in bed. At least it’s better when you don’t have to share.

“Sometimes you want to have a very productive Saturday to feel that you are in control of your life, which of course you are not.” -Tina Fey, Bossypants Jamie Bridenstine... How do I even begin to explain Jamie Bridenstine. Jamie Bridenstine is flawless. She has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus. I hear her hair's insured for $10,000. I hear she does car commercials... in Japan. Her favorite movie is Varsity Blues. One time, she met John Stamos on a plane. And he told her she was pretty. One time, she punched me in the face. It was awesome. Jamie Bridenstine is a 4th year undergrad at the University of Wyoming, earning her B.A. in Communication and a minor in Military Science. Her favorite move is Mean Girls... and any movie with Tina Fey in it. She enjoys deep conversations about politics, procrastinating on group projects, and watching The Office over and over again. Jamie has the cutest dog in the world, Timber, and is ready to take on the world after college. She will be heading up to Washington after graduation to pursue her career in the military... and hopefully her graduate degree in Public Relations.
