As Feb 14 approaches, long stemmed roses increase in price by six million percent, babies fasten their nappies and adhere their wings, and single women everywhere announce that they "don't believe" in Valentine's Day. And so, it's up to the rest of us who understand Valentine's Day isn't a figment like the Tooth Fairy, but a day that exists whether we like it or not, to man up and buy stuff or have our significant others get cross.
As someone with many years of decrying Valentine's Day under her belt, I am pleased to inform you that most Valentine gifts fall under one of three categories: sexy, classic or ironic. Unsure which direction to go in? Check this handy multi choice quiz:
I introduced myself to the object of my affection:
- When we locked eyes across racks of moth-eaten vintage
- Shortly after we re-dressed
- When I noticed they were the only other person wearing a red carnation in the bar
- This one time, after a gig, five years ago. His hair kept falling in his face, so I'm not sure if he was actually looking at me, but I'm pretty sure there was some energy there
Most of our dates:
- Consist of cider consumption, heavy fringes and liking bands before other people like bands
- Include candlelight, oysters and Barry White
- Are a distant memory
- Have only happened in my mind
Our song is:
- There Is A Light That Never Goes Out – The Smiths
- Ignition (the remix) – R.Kelly
- God Only Knows – The Beach Boys
- Hopelessly Devoted To You – Olivia Newton-John
MOSTLY A'S
Like it or lump it, but you're a dirty hipster who enjoys IRONIC gifts. Your bespectacled love will totes appresh some hilare oversized teddy, bunch of fake flowers or singing telegram. SUBVERSION amirite?!
MOSTLY B'S
Congratulations on your active love life, SEXY gift giver. You should probably just give underwear or lingerie, even if you partner won't be wearing it for long.
MOSTLY C'S
It sounds like a CLASSIC gift is in order here. Go for perfume, balloons or roses and try not to leave it til the last minute.
MOSTLY D'S
Hey, guys… Um, I'd probably actually approach the object of your affection and tell them how you feel before you get arrested.
Oh, and in order for your gift to be successful, all should be accompanied by a handmade, or hand written something. That touch of humanity is what's probably going to get you that sweet hand-holding and cheek kissing you've totally been angling for.
