More - Worst Valentine's Day Gifts Ever!
In my freshman year of high school, my bf (of 5 months :p) & I had decided we would give each other promise rings for valentines day. We were at the mall and had picked them out when all of the sudden he started sweating and ran off calling to me to buy the rings and that he'd pay me back for mine... I had to buy my own present and then sit around and wonder where he went.
The worst gift i have ever received was cd where I didn't even know who the hell the singer was!!!!!!!
The worst Valentine's Day gift was a bouquet of yellow roses. It was nice because yellow roses are one of my favorite flowers, but it was LAME because the only reason I got them from this guy is because his MOM bought them for me! He didn't even have to think about what to get me. It was all his mom!
My bf dumped me two days before valentines day.. nice guy, eh?
My boyfriend left me a week before Valentine's day to go be with a girl he knew years ago. Then he had the nerve to call me on Valentine's day to see if we could get back together! Hopefully my new boyfriend will give me something nice to write in the "best gift" section.
Cheap ring in a fancy box.
A lawnchair, and I still decided to marry him.
I received a dumb card that said I still love you even if we get scruffy at each other alot. I don't think that made me feel very loving.
I received a cookbook and I dont cook. How easier is it to say "stay home, cook and clean" to someone? This is after I have a corporate high-end job? How rude was this.
This guy I was dating was a total jerk and told me he wasn't going to spend Valentine's Day with me his girlfriend but his best friend Ashley. Let's say I was a little angry so while he was at Ashley's I had a friend deliver a box of condoms and a card that said at least you'll be safe and protected on V-day! And a couple other bad words but I think you get the hint!
A card from my former husband which he hurriedly made out of construction paper and crayon. That's all.
The worst Valentine's Day Gift I ever got was a Mint Conditon CD. Remember them?! EXACTLY!
Getting absolutely nothing.
I had been with a guy for 2yrs and he went out to the pharmacy on Valentine's day and bought one of the last cards left. Then he had the nerve to put it in the envelope and not even sign it!
He got me nothing. He claimed that he forgot after I caught him in a lie. he said that morning that he bought me a buunch of stuff and I would be suprised. Turns out he's history.
Concert tickets to his favorite band that he knows I hated.
A sucker on the school bus!
A fiber optic lamp.
This girl i was dating for about 3 months gave me a homemade bag with like 4 pieces of candy that looked like she took them out of her moms candy dish and a lolipop that looked like she found it in her couch. even tho i am in highschool and we have only been together for 3 months i think she could have done a lil bit better then that.
An "I'm sorry i cheated on you" ring... at the time i didn't know that's what it really was...
I had been dating this guy for about 8 months. He didn't call, or come by, or anything... He didn't even answer his cell when I called. When I asked him about it, he said, "Give me a break! I screwed up, okay?" Jerk!
My boyfriend and I got into a fight and the next days was valentines day and I had recieved Nothing along with a break up note.
Just to be a smart ass i got the hottest guy in school a movie cuz he was so mean to me. i got him barbie and the nut cracker.
Once in grade school a little boy put a frog and a few bugs and a worm in a box in my desk. I found the box at the end of the school year with a dead frog and an intresting smell.
I've been with the same man for 3 years. He's sweet, considerate, and constantly tells me he loves me....daily. He's never even given me a card for Valentine's Day. The 1st year...I was shocked, and sad....the 2nd year...I knew not to expect anything. And now...it's an hour or so past midnight (2-14-2003)...and I'm obviously still hoping for at least a flower (not a dozen....just one)...but I know that he has no clue. It's always been an emotional holiday for me. Having been terribly gawky in school, I never had a boyfriend...or received a Valentine. Even though I'm a stunningly beautiful woman, who turns heads wherever she goes....today...I know I'll be that awkward school girl again. I am grateful for the kindness and love my man shows me every day of the year...I am grateful for his willingness to listen to my troubles and my joys. So, perhaps my Valentine is just a room away....and with me 365 days a year!!!
(I stopped giving Valentine's day gifts a long time ago. It was always one-sided...and seemed to make the recipient feel guilty and awkward).
I remember once I went out with this guy for valentines day, took me to this beautiful restaurant and then told me his ex girlfriend broke his heart and he would do anything to get back with her.
Lame is right!! Just a card from my boyfriend saying how annoying he thinks I am...Later, to fight with me about our troubles. Beautiful, HUH?! Handle that with 2 children in the back seat of the family car on Valentines day! Now, that is sad! Needless to say this same guy bought me a douche for Christmas, I did not understand- He told me it was because I was a douche- The year before he bought me q-tips, Telling me I don't listen to him, year before that he bought me a gift card to a porn shop with a card telling me to go f***myself.. I can not wait to see what I get this year!!!!!! From him the best gift was a heart shaped pizza and wine coolers. I like it so much I asked for it every Thursday for almost a year! THIS IS NO JOKE!!!
nothing, nothing & nothing..... from my HUSBAND!
I have given my boyfriend his gift broken into pieces and the card ripped up. I have to say that was the worst.
A microwave.
A gift certificate.
no gift.
Flowers from the grocery store check out line and a card with $50.00 in it.
I knew that my ex didn't have much money but I thought that he would do something like get me a teddy bear. Instead he bought one plain red ballon and wrote, "I love you even though your a pain in my a**."
The worst valentine's gift I recieved was a ring from my girlfriend (ex). She left me a month after she gave me the ring.
His recycled valentine's box (the one with the plastic rose on it from his ex) with supposely new chocolates in it!
Uhm, well, I haven't given many bad gifts, but if I'd have to say, it would be just a simple card and poem of love...
I don't have a worst gift, the only thing that would disappoint me, is nothing at all, though anything else, whatever it is, it doesn't matter! As long as it's thoughtful!
My boyfriend and I were supposed to go out for dinner. He didn't show up and it was in the days before cell phones so I couldn't get a hold of him. The evening was to end romantically so I bought new lingerie in pink and white for the occasion. He was knocking at my door, six a.m. the next morning with a rat's head mounted on plaque. He handed it to me as my gift, apologized for standing me up but he'd ended up partying all night. He'd seen the plaque on the wall at the house he'd been at and stolen it to give to me. I kicked him out.
A lousy card that said happy v-day.
A rose with our names printed on it
Dead roses.
I got absolutely nothing. The prick (whom I'm still dating) said that Valentine's day was overrated. I would agree if we'd ever celebrate our love at least one day out of the year! But since we don't, he's full of you know what.
A monkey sitting on a chair.
A card
Clothes that didn't fit.
A cake with 'i love you' on it.
I got a romantic, room with a hot tub on Valentine's Day - and my ex- boyfriend came home and crashed out and wouldn't get up (I found out later he was a speed freak!) and go to the motel - so I went and spent the night alone there in the room I'd already paid for! What a loser - glad I'm rid of him!
A hermit crab in a pink cage!
We had been seeing each other exclusively for almost a year. I loved him in a way that I couldn't remember ever having loved anyone before. He said he shared the same sentiments. Although I justified it in my mind when he never gave me a "just because I love you" card or gift, when Valentines Day came and he didn't even verbally acknowledge it, I was crushed. I remember sitting there in my office that day watching the significant others of co-workers coming in to take them to lunch or bring them little momentos of their love. I remember like it was yesterday how empty I felt at the end of the day when it was time to go home and not one of the trips from the florist was for me. I can't remember a day that my heart felt much emptier than that day.
My boyfriend had no idea what to give me for Valentine's day so he bought me a gift certificate to the local mall. Come on, I was out of high school!
Nothing at all. Before my current boyfriend (of 5 years) I was with someone who did not even say anything!
When i was dating this guy, our anniversary landed on the 14th of february and i got excited thinking he would plan something super romantic, but instead, he had some friends over, ordered pizza and gave me a pair of comical socks!! I was so upset with him and he didn't even know why!?!
I knew a girl whose boyfriend sent her a dozen roses on Valentines Day, but instead of spending the day with him, she went to the mall with a bunch of friends. While they were there, she called him, collect, to dump him.
I baked my boyfriend a chocolate cake in the shape of a heart, 3 tiers, with cinammon candies on top. He took one look at it, picked the whole thing up with his hands, and took a huge bite, ruining it for anyone else.
We dated for 3.5 years, and the 2nd year, when we got engaged, he forgot Valentines day. Completely. I haven't seen him for 7 years now. ;-)
Valentine's Day fell on the annivesary of the marriage of he and his ex-wife, so he always got mopey and refused to do anything with me. They'd been broken up for over a decade. Get over it!
He said it was a crass commercial holiday, and said that I should be better than all that. What a jerk!
He spent a ton of money on risque lingerie, which is basically a present for himself, if you know what I mean.
I was given a cheap box of choclates and roses once with a cheap dinner at a bar.
I bought my x this one plastic ring.
My birthday is on valentines day, he forgot both of them.
He wrote me a poem, all about what I meant to him, etc...and had it printed onto really nice designed tag board and framed. A few weeks later, I found out he was cheating on me. I pretended for a week or so I didn't know what was going on, but for valentines day I gave him back the ashes of his poem, in the same manilla envelope he gave it to me in.
I got those conversation heart things.
My boyfriend proposed to me without a ring. After he left that day I never heard from him again.
When I was with this guy for about eight months on Valentines day he bought me a c.d.
The worst gift I ever gave was nothing at all.
