While Valentine’s Day may be a polarizing ‘holiday,’ it’s no surprise that there’s always some pressure on finding the perfect gift for your significant other. Whether you’re trying to be funny or just don’t know what to get, here’s some gifts that may get you broken up with:
Reservation @ C3
Do I really need to say anything? Who wants to eat on campus, let alone on Valentine’s Day?
- Rodrigo Feijão, senior sports editor
A marble, composition notebook
Now as a biochemistry major, I won’t complain when I have an extra lab notebook for organic chemistry. However, on Valentine’s Day?
- Mylien Lai, senior news editor
Rod Wave concert tickets
The audacity to give someone concert tickets to a man that only sings about heartbreak is astounding in itself but on a day centered around love AND they’re not even good songs at that? Wow. “I’d rather go to C3 than a Rod Wave concert.”
- Amy Aracena, copy editor
Diet Pills
Get real.
- Sophia Stines, senior features editor
Red Roses (unless they’re a favorite)
Chances are, your significant other has a favorite flower, and it's probably not the typical red rose. Skip the cliché and choose something they’ll truly love this Valentine’s Day.
- Hannah Rashad, managing editor
Gift card
Gift cards are generic, impersonal and show that you don’t really care about your partner’s interests. Unless the certificate manages to be sentimental—and trust me, it won’t—skip this thoughtless gift and get your partner something meaningful.
- Haley DiMisa, assistant features editor
Assorted Chocolates
No one actually eats the dark chocolate ones and you are so disappointed every time you bite into a gross chocolate. Only 5-10 of the 20 chocolates actually get eaten. Not only is it annoying, it's a waste of money.
- Lilly Ensminger senior multimedia editor
