Candy. Romantic Cards. Sweet nothings being whispered into that special someone’s ear. Every year Valentine’s Day presents a challenge in finding that “out of the box” and “one-of-a-kind” gift whether you’re fresh into a relationship or married for 50 years. So what can you do? In honor of Response’s 10 year anniversary we’re sharing 10 things NOT to do that you may think are cute but will actually just end up getting you in trouble.

10 things not do for Valentine’s Day:

  1. Claim that you were trying to be cute and wait to give your present until February 15th
  2. Write the wrong name on the card
  3. Buy chocolates and proceed to eat the good ones
  4. Believe your significant other when they say they don’t want anything.
  5. Shoot your significant other with an actual bow and arrow
  6. Give candy to a diabetic
  7. Tip your waiter in heart shaped candy
  8. Wear a diaper and say you’re cupid
  9. Recite poetry you can’t pronounce
  10. Go on a first date

In closing, it would be ill advised to do any of the above and still expect to have someone to go home to. However, if you found these tips clever/interesting/engaging, imagine what we can do for you.

Stay tuned next month for our March top 10 list.
