Dear honey,
I love you, and I love the thoughtfulness of the gifts you have given me over the years. In fact, you are much better at picking things out for me than I am at thinking of good ideas for you. I don’t think you need any advice on what to get me for Valentine’s Day but here is a list you can share with your man friends who need help on what not to get, in no particular order:
1. Kitchen utensils of any kind
2. Electronic gadgets unless it’s a Kobo
3. Condoms
4. Anything with Hello Kitty on it
5. Cheap chocolate (Purdy’s please)
6. Stuffed animals
7. White shoulders perfume
8. Black roses
9. Lingerie (unless you know exactly what she likes, her store, and her size)
10. Nothing (wrong, wrong, wrong!)
Love me
Thanks for the inspiration for the list goes to Stasha at the Monday Listicles. Make a list, check it twice and drop by to see what your friends came up with!
And since You Only Live Once on Monday, be sure to click over here to see what some more fun loving bloggers are up to!
HA! yes to number 10! But get nothing instead ofmany ofthe ones you mentioned! What’s a Kobo by the way??
A Kobo is one of those readers for books, same thing as a Kindle if you know what that is…ha, if you don’t know what it is, you definitely wouldn’t want one!
I love Purdy’s! I agree with you on the perfume, stuffed animals and Hello Kitty stuff, too.

I find the candies (like the ones in the pic) kinda gross too. Cheap candies or chocolates are just a no-no. Good post.
Those candies are the worst!! Totally agree!
I’m with you on the no stuffed animals. No, no, no.

This is going to be an interesting week surfing around the listicles.

I don’t mind getting electronics….but yes, it must be the right kind.
My iPod is almost full….. I wouldn’t turn down a new one.
just don’t attach it to anything stuffed and holding a heart.

Ha ha!
Great minds think alike! I created a similar list, although I left off condoms. That is definitely a big no-no!
Yep, number 10 is perfect. All that other stuff is wrong, but you can’t NOT do something for V-Day! Erin

Perfect. Also condoms made me laugh. Imagine the chap giving them to the girl and her using them with someone else. Then sending him a thank you card for saving her date. That’ll teach him.

I’ve been at the store on Valentines before only to see the guy in front of me at the cash register loading up on boxes of chocolate, cards, flowers and yes condoms…now maybe those weren’t meant as part of the gift but still!
Black roses? Spooky!

I always get #10… Will have to send this list to my husband!
I love shopping in kitchen stores but pretty sure his idea of a “good” gadget and mine are NOT the same. Number 10 cracked me up.

Condoms as a gift, no. But being prepared is a must, and a gift of sorts.

No stuffed animals.
And I think I must be the only one but I also can’t stand flowers. I love living green things so I’d prefer a plant, at least it will last!
