Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and we, as women, want something that some thought and planning has gone into. We don’t want the grab and go gifts that are the easy way out.

This week’s Top 5 is dedicated to the top 5 worst Valentine’s Day gifts for her.  Whatever you do guys, don’t be thinking these gifts are actually acceptable. I know if my hubby gave me any of these, I wouldn’t be very happy! Like most women, I want something that pulls at those old heart strings! Here goes:

Gas-station balloons, candy, or carnations - Says: "Honey, I love you so much I drove by the gas station on my way home and picked out these wilted carnations." Gas-station teddy bears and glittery roses are so not romantic or even classy!

Valentine Card with a corny joke - Says: “I’m a tool and really didn’t put any thought or imagination into a card. In fact, I didn’t even read it!" If you’re going to get her a card, at least read it!

Household appliances - Says: "I’d rather have you cooking and cleaning than anything else." Just because the appliance is pink does not make it Valentine's Day appropriate.

Tickets to a sporting event - Says: "You like sports, right?" Nothing says romance like a hot dog and thousands of screaming fans. Pass!

Lunch with you and your mom - Says: "I want to kill two ladies with one V-day lunch." Lunch with your favorite ladies together as a V-Day gift makes you look like a momma's boy. So not attractive. Take them out separately.

Now that you know what not to get her for Valentine's Day, I hope you’ll actually put some time and effort into picking out a gift for that special gal in your life!
