Valentine's Least Romantic Gifts
By
Jennifer Klein,

"Hey honey, I love you. Here's a Nordic
Trak. Happy Valentine's Day."
When
it comes to romancing their partner, it's clear
that cupid's arrows certainly can miss their mark.
There are a lot of unromantic people, losers in
the love category, who believe exercise equipment
or housewares make appropriate Valentine's Day gifts.
In
a recent survey on Dateable.com,
we posed the question: What is the least romantic
gift you've received on Valentine's Day? Here are
the top three winners (or losers):
TOP
THREE WINNERS
-
Gold
Heart:
Roses, with a card for another woman!
-
Silver Heart:
A Nordic Trac. This person states, "I am
not sure if the message was your fat or not, but
let's just say I was not thrilled."
-
Bronze Heart:
A book on making love. "Sounds good but it
sure can make a gal insecure," says an anonymous
voter.
RUNNER-UPS
Most
of the runner-ups were household appliances and
tools. What is this fascination for appliances?
Ironically, a recent study revealed that the number
of clean homes are declining due to women in the
workforce. Although these gifts are practical, they
are, nonetheless, unromantic. Runner-ups include
the following:
- A
vacuum
- A
blender
- Cleaning
supplies
- A
Black & Decker screwdriver
- A
power steering hose
- A
toaster
- A
broom
-
I was asked the question: "So how do
we end this? A handshake or a high five?"
-
Divorce Court. (You'd think the judge would schedule
other types of cases for that day, right?)
-
A pear. Yes! A damn pear! I wanted a pear
shaped diamond. But, I got.. an actual pear!!
