Hey there! Scrambling to get a last minute Valentine’s Day gift. You came to the wrong place! Or the right place if you’re just clarifying that the gift you’re considering is a poor choice.
Beaverbrooks Jewelers recently asked 2,000 women to name the worst Valentine’s Day gifts they have received. Here are three of the poorest decisions men have made for that special someone.
1. A Bathroom Scale
YEOWCH! Not really sure what the mentality was here, but I would love to hear how this one went over. Was it a tragic effort at an inside joke, or maybe a very strong implication? Whatever it may have been, there are a very limited amount of ways to see this turn out well.
2. Cigarettes

Nothing says “I love you” like a pack of smokes… Right? Going inside the mind of person who got this for a significant other you’ve gotta wonder about the motives behind this one. Was she already a smoker and he was just doing her a favor? Did he want her to learn smoke tricks where the smoke came out in the form of a heart? Either way, it truly ‘smokes’ other gifts such as chocolates or flowers… Actually I would probably stick with those.
3. A Live Tarantula
The reason the picture above is so adorable is because all the other pictures of spiders we found that we could use scared every fiber of our being. So you can imagine what receiving one of those in real life would do to you. I understand that people keep spiders as pets because they dodged that whole ‘arachnophobia’ thing somehow, but wow. If this was a prank of some kind, you can imagine that this may have been his last Valentine’s Day with her, because that spider probably did not look anything like this little guy.
In case you were curious about other crummy gifts guys got for their gals, here’s a list of some fun ones.
