To ask what is the worst Valentine's Day present you've ever received?

[BackInBlack78]

Just this!

I didn't receive these but Waterstones had them on their table of Valentines day gift ideas yesterday.... if my partner bought me blue and white matches in a corked glass bottle I'd assume he wanted to break up!

mummy how do you know he hasn't brought you something back?

Not valentines but once for my birthday an ex boyfriend bought me a hairbrush and a pair of precision tweezers. Nothing else. He was a charmer, that one.

I got dh some chocolate and made a cake that he's told me he's not keen on as I made a ganache using 85% cocoa chocolate so that didn't go well.
Apparently he's ordered me a nice top but it's not arrived yet.

From ex DH. I was a size 8, 20 years old, slim, toned and healthy looking. I received a rowing machine and a book of hip and thigh exercises. Prick!

The matches in bottle is just weird what would you do with them? Is it ment as an ornament or are you mentioned to use them very odd.

Last year DH bought me a heart rate and blood pressure monitor. Baffling. I can only assume he wandered into a shop, saw the word "heart" and thought it would do.

We swapped presents / cards in Gaucho for valentines 3 years ago. I gave DH a 'joke' birthday card for a 2 year old...he gave me a lovely card and a beautiful bracelet he was also paying for the meal!

I don't feel that bad. I pushed his children out my vagina so I reckon we're equal

My work colleague got a bucket today. To match the mop she got for Christmas. No joke!

I got nothing today. DP has also got me nothing. We are ignoring the whole load of bollocks that Valentine's Day is. We love each other very much all the same, and I'm looking forward to cuddling up with him later to watch tv like we do most nights anyway ❤

An electric razor. I've never used one before nor expressed any interest in getting one. Must have been on offer!

Most years we don't bother with anything more than a card as my birthday is the week before anyway.

Dh has gone a bit mad this year as I got an absolutely fabulous bouquet of flowers for my b'day and this morning he gave me 12 red roses from M&S which are also beautiful. He knows I love flowers.

I hate the old line always trotted out here that men who give flowers are shit husbands who cheat.....not true!

I bought him an edible chocolate valentines card (M&S!) and we got fillet steak and a very nice bottle of red for later. so we're sorted

Dying to know what t.u.l.i.p. means?

I got a bottle of wine and a card from Mr Frog.

I also got a weird, handwritten poem from a man who I met briefly at a social function some months ago. I'm freaked out.

kingfu I bought DH an Indian spice pack one valentines - I love Indian food and he does all the cooking so it was definitely a hint.

Giddy because I received an 'e-card' this morning when he realised. I told him that I was a little upset and he responded that he was 'sorry he made an error'. Now he is ignoring me .

Never received anything either. I don't see the point in Valentine's Day tbh

My OH doesn't demonstrate he loves me in anything other than ways he doesn't have to think about ie sometimes mowing the lawn or checking my tyres (although usually he just says, 'that lawn needs mowing' or 'you need to check your tyres'). I know he does love me, he just doesn't think it ever needs showing or telling.

I beg to differ to the tune of a bunch of flowers or a card. I get neither though. It makes me feel so...flat, somehow. Like, I know he cares but...OK, it's commercial, it's a waste of money, but still...just a little posy?

I love the bright red balloons and tacky red tat and roses. DH knows this and still never gets it right

Ellen... T.U.L.I.P. Apparently stands for 'to us, love is precious '

That was the only one of the many different sayings, apart from SWALK I could remember. But there were many...

I once got a lump of cheese shaped in a heart. That was a bit shit really.

California I would love that present but then I am a cheese fiend!

ExBF when I was about 21. He was a massively tall, very well built chap. He bought me a four and a half foot tall, bright scarlet teddy bear. It was holding a big red satin heart with 'You're mine!' on it. Which I found quite disturbing. Not "Be mine" but you are mine. Was quite representative of the relationship to be fair. One huge, horrendous, very obvious mistake!

Husband bought me a birthday card instead of a Valentine's card today. He hadn't bothered to read it before handing to me. I had a miscarriage two weeks ago and spent two days in hospital. It feels like such a kick in the teeth that even after all the shit I've had to go through this year this fool couldn't read a fucking card.

I bought theatre tickets for us three months ago. I wish I'd just used the money for myself now.

A bunch of red roses "that will never die, like my love for you". Because they were tacky, cheap and totally fake, like him! We didn't last the year.

The previous year had been a vase, not even a nice one, but no flowers to go in it. Christmas had seen me given about 12 poundshop cuddly toys when I'd given him a pricy aftershave he wanted. And my birthday gift had been white nylon underwear. I don't wear white and it sparked as I opened it!

A nice well-chosen card would have beaten all of the above.

Spare earplugs - my EX boyfriend's housemate had bought herself a multipack to drown out the noise of the loud sex he was having with someone who, as she told me, was not me. Best Valentine's day of my life LOL. Sad but true - all in the past now though (insert: permanently hoping karma ruins his life forever)
