10 Things NOT to Give Your Valentine
1. A kitchen countertop appliance. No, she doesn't want a stick blender, espresso maker, coffee grinder, or any other kind of gadget for her kitchen. They all equal work. (Unless of course she asked for one. Then it's okay.)
2. A diet book. (Are you insane? Give the lady some chocolate for heaven's sake.)3. Music or a Blu-ray movie that's your taste, not hers.
4. Any piece of clothing that your mother would probably wear.
5. A nighty so slutty that she would feel ridiculous wearing it. (She's smart enough to know you saw it at one of those sleezy lingerie shows at a so-called gentlemen's club.)
6. An exercise machine. Seriously? That ranks right up there with a diet book. (Unless you know she really, really wants one.)
7. Dinner out at Hooter's or Twin Peaks. LOL. No, I'm just kidding. You're really not that thick-headed, are you?
8. Two tickets to any sporting event that only you can really appreciate. (She'll know you know that she'd hate it—that way you go with your buddy.)
9. An I. O. U. and a note that says you couldn't think of anything. (Seriously? She'd respect you more if you just admit that you forgot.)
10. Any gift that hasn't been wrapped, or worse, it's in the cheap plastic shopping bag the clerk bagged it in. (Don't ever, give something in the store bag. What's the matter? Can't take a few minutes to buy a gift bag and drop the gift in it?)
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
