The Cheesiest Valentine’s Day Gifts Ever

Flowers and chocolates are expected — but wait until you hear what cringe-worthy V-Day gifts these women received!

By The Nest Editors

Let’s be honest: As much as we love Valentine’s Day, it’s hard to ignore all the tacky teddy bears, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, roses, and (gag) lacy red lingerie. Even worse is being on the receiving end of a gimmicky V-Day gift. So, which items fall on the ultimate cheese list? TheNest.com readers share their most cringe-worthy Valentine’s presents.

“One of those big cards from the gas station.” —calle28

“My boyfriend got me a bikini (top only, he didn’t know you had to order the bottoms separately). He intentionally bought it a size too small.” —cherryblossom_bride

“My husband bought me one of those teddy bears in a straitjacket that was called ‘Crazy for You Bear.’ I have a couple of psychology degrees, so I found it kind of funny.” —psyck

“A guy I used to date gave me a plush, red pillow, trimmed with lace and a ribbon across it saying, ‘Will you be my valentine?’” —ootmother2

“One guy gave me a box of chocolates from the dollar store. Too bad I don’t eat chocolate.” —alabaster_angel

“How about a stuffed animal that dances to “Crank That (Soulja Boy)”? The dancing really upped the cheese factor.” —Mel_23

“My ex kept hinting about this awesome surprise he had for Valentine’s Day. Then he took me to Safeway and bought me a red mug that said ‘Kiss.’ Score!” —charisan

“Last year, my hubby gave me a tackle box filled with used lures and fishing worms that he no longer wanted but didn’t want to throw away, plus a Frisbee so he could take me to the park to play (like I was a puppy or something!). Needless to say, it wasn’t well received!” —Dondine

“I got a poem from an ex boyfriend where he went on and on about how beautiful my black hair was, and how he could look into my brown eyes for all of eternity. Too bad my hair is brown, and my eyes are blue.” —tiffwins

“I dumped a guy who gave me an ID bracelet — with his name on it. What, like in case I forgot his name? So ridiculous.” —ktrumpatori

“My husband once bought one of those coupon books full of IOUs (as in, ‘one free massage’ or ‘dinner on me’). He didn’t get it though, and thought he kept the tickets and gave them to me when he wanted to redeem them. I had to explain that he didn’t get to give me a coupon for his massage; I get the coupon and redeem it when I want!” —m+j
