Do you think this article on bad Valentine’s gifts is accurate?
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/the-shine-guide-to-terrible-valentines-day-gifts-a-cautionary-tale-363314/
Here are the items they take issue with (read the article for more details).
1. Roses
2. Joke items
3. Pillow novelty items
4. Baby talk anything
5. Cheesy/suggestive gifts
I think they’re dead wrong on roses (especially roses with teddy bears, which they dogged. Not my cup of tea, but it’s still sweet). And some couples are into the whole baby talk thing or suggestive gifts. I agree with 2 & 3, though. I think it depends on your personalities and how long you’ve been together overall. Any thoughts?
I agree with you completely. I read the article and I was kind of like well what is wrong with roses or stuffed animals. I think that is cute you know its kind of like a blast from the past, when you were young you had a stuffed animal or stuffed animals in your room. So it takes you back to innocence you know? Teddy bears are sweet and certainly everyone will not like them but all in all I do not see anything wrong with them. Roses are wonderful, I absolutely love roses and I rarely receive them so when I do it means a ton!
I have to agree like you said with joke items the fake engagement ring that really isnt too funny because someone may really hope to have the real thing and its almost like making a joke out of something very serious. Pillow novelty items are kind of useless unless thats something that really interest a person. Unless the person said they wanted that, Idk about getting it. Baby talk is annoying to be real, I would not want that either but its the thought that counts! Cheesy gifts can actually be sweet but suggestive gifts are straight up tacky unless the person wants that and thats their style go for it, not my thing though.
I think roses is the number one thing aside from something sweet so idk why they listed that.
