    Worst Valentine's Day Gifts

    By Jessica Ashley: A donut, a card that still reeked of the gas station where it was purchased, a box half-filled with Jolly Ranchers -- these are real gifts given to real people as an expression of real love. You might find that hilarious, depressing or even all too familiar. We consider it a warning of how a lovely little romance can go terribly wrong in one awkward moment wrapped up in pink ribbon. We asked Shine readers to share the most awful Valentine's Day gifts they'd gotten and their responses made that single rose from a seventh-grade boyfriend or a home-cooked, slightly burned casserole cliches look like 4-carat canary diamonds. Want to tell your significant other you think they're mehhhh? These gifts will do exactly that.

      Some men tend to be practical. That's nice said my girlfriend, but not on special occasions.

        I'm confused... your girlfriend expects special treatment on Vday? What kind of special treatment do you get?

      I'm so happy my husband and I decided to troll the malls and laugh at people spending ridiculous amounts of money on stupid crap. We love each other every day, not just on the 14th of February.
