It's Valentine's Day again and if you haven't gotten your loved one that special Valentine's Day gift or you have chosen to be the person who hates tradition and rebels against commercialism then being romantic isn't your strong suit. However if you are scrambling all over the place today to do last minute shopping for your loved one or you have had a change of heart and decided to give commercialism the benefit of the doubt there are 5 gifts you should stay clear of if romance is on your mind.   
Bouquet Of Poison Ivy
Believe it or not, I knew a guy who was itching to give his ex girlfriend a bouquet of poison ivy as a token of his loving affection. It turns out that she got wind of his plan and called her new boyfriend to weed out the situation. 
 
Lingerie From Your Previous Relationship

Believe it or not, (again) a female friend of mine one time gave a pair of elephant pouch underwear, that she had stolen from her ex, to a new guy she was dating. She swore to me that she had washed them and I swore to myself to never date her.  

Jenny Craig Dinner
I am not going to lie, Jenny Craig is a great program. I have lost a significant amount of weight after I gained several pounds because my wife got pregnant twice. However, no matter how romantic the JC marketers design their Valentine's Day meals, I can't perform my Rudolf Valentino act with a 3 cheese ziti dinner for 2.

Trader Joe's Wine
Good Ole 2 buck chuck... Don't get me wrong Trader Joe's wine is fine for the other 364 days during the year but not for Valentine's Day. There are several companies that make inexpensive wine that don't have cheap ass mother f***king date written all over it. 

Opened Box Of Chocolate
I am going to make this obvious one short and sweet... Unless you are a ping pong champion with a fishing boat who runs all over the world then don't open the box of chocolate because your name isn't Forest Gump.

Until Tomorrow,

Happy Valentine's Day

Jai

We celebrated Valentine's Day last night since he works tonight (same as last year). We had such a good time and the restaurant wasn't even crowded--I think we may make it a tradition!

I've heard of lots of people celebrating Valentine's Day on a different day. It makes sense with how busy restaurants get and how some places jack up the prices. As to the gifts not to give people, it's amazing that people would actually consider something like that, but some people are a little lacking in common sense.

I guess when you are hurting inside you will do stupid things to make yourself feel batter.

I beg to differ. I like the $2 wine from Trader Joes. Especially if you slip in some fruit spritzer :)

Ahhh but in doing that you increase it's value turing it into a whole new drink. That creativity is exactly what Vday needs.

Your list is very funny, but that picture is scary!

The used lingerie is so gross; you did the right thing dumping that girl.

Irons, vacuums and kitchen utensils!

(Plus, that would be sexist! Don't do it.)
