Worst Valentine's Day Gifts Ever!

  • Worst Valentine's Day Gifts Ever!
    Uh-oh. Does Valentine's Day leave you fuming instead of swooning? While the Hallmark holiday is supposed to be all about romance, it’s safe to say that most of us have had a bad experience or two over the years.

    One year, my boyfriend informed me that because he was “in a giving mood,” he had made reservations for us at Buca Di Beppo. Unless he was planning on hiding a tennis bracelet in that 20-pound bowl of pasta, how is taking a girl out to a family-oriented chain restaurant “giving”? —Anonymous

    My first year in college, the boy I was dating gave me one of the most memorable gifts I’ve ever received: a talking framed picture of him. (Not him and me — just him.) When I pressed a button on the frame it said something like “when you miss me, just listen to my voice and think of me.” We broke up soon after. —Heather, 29
