“Let’s face it, guys pretty much hate Valentine’s Day…..not because they don’t want to make their women happy, but because they either hit a home run with their gift (that diamond ring that’s been promising someday) or bomb it completely (blender). They walk on egg shells for weeks before, trying to dodge the subtle and not-so-subtle hints. Thank goodness the Super Bowl is there to cause distraction and provide some excitement before the deep breath and one moment of truth.”

To hold true to Mr. Suave’s words, here are some recent comments of the unfortunate V-day gifts from you, our dear readers. We thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these, many of them had us on the phone laughing hysterically.

“I can’t think of any Valentine’s Day presents, but one year my husband got me a scale for Christmas…like to weigh myself! And he was really excited about ’cause he thought he got me a great present. We pick out our own presents now”

“Worst V-Day gift ever: A pillow. A red heart shaped pillow. Seriously? What would you like me to do with that? It was so small too, not even head sized, so I couldn’t lay on it if I wanted to. Gimme a break.”

Worst gift: a stuffed bear with a chain around his ankle and a shirt reading ‘prisoner of love’–a week before he broke it off. Jerk.”

“The worst gift I have ever received for VDay was a kitten…so cute, but you would think my boyfriend would have known I am ALLERGIC to cats!!! Then again, we broke up two weeks later so maybe it was a sign!!”

Make no mistake about it, a happy woman = happy man = happy home and happy life.
