Last week we talked about what singles can do on Valentine’s Day. Now that we have the singles squared away, how about some suggestions on what not to give as a Valentine’s Gift. While I was driving home the other day I heard a commercial for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. It was that commercial that you hear for every big gift giving holiday “why not name a star after your loved one?” Oh no please no, not the star with my name on it.
Now don’t get me wrong, I really like seeing my name on stuff. Like monogrammed towels, t-shirts, checks, you get the idea. But a certificate that tells me somewhere in the galaxy there is a star with my name on it is not the gift to give to the person who has everything. Trust and believe it will end up in a drawer.
Speaking of names on things, one of my all-time favorite gifts was a calendar from my insurance agent Bernie Mack; it had my name on every month somewhere in the picture. It was so wonderful that I saved it and plan to frame some of the pages. Another gift I’ve never wanted and would not advise anyone to give is a Chia Pet or a Chia anything unless it has been requested or is a gag gift and you have the real gift hidden somewhere.
