10 Worst Gifts for a Valentine
Well Happy Valentine's Day...
to those who celebrate this day without animosity or contempt for the commercialized approach to showing love on one day at of the year. Valentine's Day really isn't that bad unless you feel like no one loves you!! (also known as depression). If no one... no one at loves you, then you probably should spend some time with a professional psychiatrist who can help you diagnose the complex problems that lie deep inside. (or at least get an Rx that you can become addicted to).
But remember there are various types of love, and there's no reason that you can't fool someone into seeing your "humanity" and need for love. If serial killers can get women to fall in love with them while they are in prison, then there's hope for all of us.
Freelance writer Laura Gilbert wrote an article published on Yahoo.com and courtesy of Happen Magazine:
Laura Gilbert's list includes:
1. Ye olde bouquet of red roses and baby’s breath
2. A box of assorted chocolates
3. Jewelry in a ring-sized box
4. Something girlie and decorative like a sachet, a candle holder, a silver wishing stone…
5. A cute stuffed animal bearing a message of love
6. Racy sleepwear
7. Anything that could be considered a small appliance
8. A nice bottle of cologne or perfume
9. A tie
10. A gift certificate
TheNutsCracker appreciates insight from any qualified source about ways to improve in the game of love; but wait just a minute. Hold on Laura. We aren't giving you a compliment.
First, when was this published? This would be helpful to struggling shoppers well in advance, not on Valentine's Day itself. By then it is too late. While Laura's opinions may have some weight to Valentine's Day haters, why not just summarize this list to say, "Everything that is shown in any Valentine's Day promotion shown on TV." That seems to be the list in summary.
And let's be honest, did Laura ever receive any of these? Or is this just "expert" research in summary? There are several quotes from people that may or may not be significant Valentine's Day insiders, but WHO CARES about those people.
Valentine's Day is a chance to make someone feel special. That's the simple reality. If something on the list above brings a smile and good feelings to the recipient, then BANG - THAT'S A GREAT GIFT. There is nothing on that list to complain about. You want a bad experience? Check out this list:
TheNutsCracker's 10 worst V-Day gifts...
1. a trip - to the doctor for unexplained love rash
2. a "Dear John" letter
3. V-Day candy from Walgreen's that went on sale Feb. 15th last year
4. a card delivered from a co-worker signed "secret admirer"
5. used whips, chains and handcuffs from an online S&M store
6. counterfeit cash
7. breath mints and chewing gum from Costco (a case each).
8. a life insurance policy on YOUR life
9. a set of luggage with your stuff in it
10. a "Sex" text from the "Ex" who was terrible at sex
So in comparison of the two lists... the message is: "Don't be ungrateful. It could always be worse!"
Happy Valentine's Day.
