If you don't want your relationship to end, don't buy these gifts
Friend, we're not kidding. According to a study in the Daily Mail newspaper , couples usually break up two weeks before Christmas or JUST a day after Valentine's. If you don't want your relationship to end, choose the gift for your partner well. This time we have compiled the gifts that you should NOT give, so if you have already thought about one of them, better forget it.
Socks
Socks
Yes, they are very cute but maybe it is not the best way to express love. Also, your boyfriend's grandmother will have already given him a few pairs for Reyes. And if you really love them, give them another day.
Socks by Asos, € 55.99 (4 pairs)
Do not be funny
Do not be funny
Whether it's true or not, this is not a good time to say it. Although we love the mug, no one would like to wonder if they have put on weight on Valentine's Day.
Miss Miserable Mug, € 25.99
Jumper for two
Jumper for two
Christmas is over but you just saw this sweater for two people –Asos will have to explain us– and you have decided… No, it is NOT cute. Let's face it: it's VERY unlikely you will wear it.
Asos jumper, € 19.99
Dumbbells
Dumbbells
No, dumbbells are not worth it either (no matter how athletic your boyfriend is). You might start thinking that you want me to lose weight. And even if so, better join the gym together!
Dumbbells, € 24.99
Pijama
Pijama
Yes, it is very cute but it is a too "practical" gift, don't you think? Of course, it is a perfect model to enjoy television at night on the couch, a la Homer Simpson.
C&A pajamas, € 25
Skillet
Skillet
We too would like our partner to cook more often but a frying pan is not a gift 10. In fact, we can't imagine a more boring gift … Do you need one anyway? So choose well.
Frying pan, € 35
Underpants
Underpants
No no no and no. Prohibited! This is not a good idea, unless it is a "joke". Seriously, we don't think your boyfriend is going to tell you: "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I've always dreamed of a three-pack of boxers!" after opening the gift. If you do not want to hesitate throughout the year, better find another gift.
H&M 3-pack briefs, € 14.99
Card
Card
This card speaks for itself, but remember that it is a complement to a gift, not a gift itself. Don't screw up!
Asos Valentine's Card, € 5.99
Food processor
Food processor
Don't buy "useful" gifts just so you can both use them later. Admit it, you wouldn't like either … A food processor? Not!
Food processor, € 49.99
Coat
Coat
Who dreams of receiving a gown? Exactly … And in case you're already thinking about some slippers, change the chip.
Zara Home robe, € 39.99
Schedule
Schedule
You don't know what to give him and you buy an agenda? Error! For starters, it's already a bit late … Plus, it's a cliché gift and she's going to know that you didn't know what to give her.
Busquets agenda, € 9.45
Candle
Candle
Yes, it would be nice if your partner was a little more romantic but … a candle? Really? Don't you have any more ideas? Unless your boyfriend collects scented candles, this is a VERY little personal gift.
H&M Home candle, € 4.99
Self-help book
Self-help book
One of the worst gifts in the world. Would you like your partner to highlight your weaknesses? Exactly … Don't even think about giving her a self-help book. It is always better to give something that enhances your qualities.
Life lessons, € 20
Smartbox
Smartbox
If you really want to give her an unforgettable experience, think about what she really likes and don't buy a gift box. Keep in mind that Smartbox offers are not usually very flexible (you cannot always go on the date you want) and, furthermore, the conditions are not always real. If you want to give him an experience, take him to that trendy restaurant that is so talked about or enjoy a romantic weekend out there.
Chic Dinner gift box, € 59.90
Things as they are: it is VERY difficult to find the perfect gift for Valentine's Day (especially if you and your partner have been around for a short time). That's why this time we have compiled the worst gifts in the world, so if you don't want your relationship to end, you better not risk it. We are serious, according to a study by Daily Mail, couples usually break up two weeks before Christmas or JUST a day after Valentine's! Do not miss it!
How to get the gift right
If you need more inspiration, you can take a look at these original gifts for fans of series like Game of Thrones, Stranger Things … There you will find the PERFECT gift for your partner.
Of course, there are certain things that you should NEVER. For example? Here are some (bad) ideas:
- Forget giving him some socks, briefs or a robe. And don't even think about slippers. Also, your grandmother will have already given you all of this in recent months.
- Never buy something "useful" so you can both use it. No pans, food processors, vacuum cleaners … You wouldn't want to receive them either!
- As much fun as your partner is, don't be too funny. We love mugs with funny messages, but one with "You've gotten fat" is just 'too much. And if your partner has really put on weight, this is not the ideal time to burden her …
- But don't go too cheesy either (especially if you haven't been together long). No cute diaries or pink mugs.
- The worst gift of all time? A self-help book! Don't expose their weaknesses!
- And remember that a card is a complement to a gift, not a gift itself. Don't screw up!
