    10 Things NOT to Get Her for Valentine’s Day

    Feb 6, 2013 at 5:07am by Steph

    Steph from Team Elizabeth is back to bring you some tips for navigating the Valentine’s Day gift-giving smoothly. Enjoy! Xx EB

    Valentine’s Day is next week and that means that everyone and their mother are writing Gift Guides. Not I! Instead, I will be helping you with something much more important: what NOT to get her and why.  This will help you avoid evil stares, the silent treatment, and, worst of all, sleeping on the couch on the one night a year when sex is practically guaranteed. So, guys, PAY ATTENTION:

    6 of 12

    6. A give-back present.

    This refers to anything disguised as a gift for yourself. Depending on what she’s into, this could include a video game, something for a car, hunting gear, a book on the stock market, etc.

    Hint: if you’re more excited about the gift than she would be, it falls into this category.

      He gave me the "give-back gift" ...a set of webcams... and he ended up using "his" to vid chat with other women.

      I hope the next girl he dates slaps him, if he's dumb enough to try that again.

      For the first Vday with my husband (when we were dating) he gave me a votive candle with a picture of Elvis glued to it (cool) and a cartoon he cut out of the New Yorker of a man inviting his wife to step off a cliff. So, Elvis, and murder.

        Hmmm... that sounds a little menacing. But, you're not dead so i'm guessing everything turned out alright.

      This is hilarious Steph!! #8 #3 and #1 had me laughing out loud!

      I can imagine it now. "Happy Valentine's Day. Here's some money to go to the doctor and get the herpes I gave you checked out."

      I loved this post. :)

      I don't believe in Valentine's Day. Each day can be my Valentin's Day. I don't buy anything in San Valentin. It doesn't go with me.

      It's only a comercial day and I don't believe in that

      Of course in my world chocolates, flowers, expensive dinners, jewelry are all far too cliche' and the desire for them just a we bit one sided and overly materialistic. So instead I offer you the edgy, and macabre: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissCakehead?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share

      YESSSSSSS. This is an excellent list. It's shocking to me how common some of these gifts are. Gym membership? Hello!
      Both my best and worst gifts fell under the #7 Gas Station category. Worst: a single rose made of red satin panties...only it turned out to be a dude's banana hammock. So that was fun.
      Best: a box of roses purchased by the guy but with the card 'signed' from my cat. It was cheap and hokey but demonstrated he knew me all too well(yes, it is all too easy to please a cat lady!)
