Friday Five: Honey, you shouldn't have!
Consider this a warning. DON'T buy (or make) these gifts for Valentine's Day. Here's a list of the five worst, compiled from suggestions by you, dear readers, and yours truly:
5. "NO gifts from anyone, ever." (from Lee)
4. A 20-cents-off coupon for Shake n Bake. (from bryanintimonium)
3. Lingerie. Women don't want it as their gift (save it for a random surprise), and men's "lingerie" usually falls into two categories: funny or scary.
2. The short shrift, a la Alisa:
"When I was in high school (many moons ago), I hinted around to my BF about a V-Day gift. He said he wouldn't forget "his baby" on that special day. On V-day, he bought a case of oil for his car; I got nothing."
1. A snack-sized bag of pretzels with a paper heart pinned to it with a giant diaper pin. (from SGP)

20 cents off is a good deal - maybe if the coupon were heart shaped and pinned to something with a giant diaper pin. I think that would be OK.

I'd kill for a bag of pretzels right now. I don't even need the pin. Or a case of oil. Girls are too picky.

Oh good. A new vacuum cleaner isn't on the do-not-buy list.
I was worried there, for awhile.
