Valentine’s Day is weird (no I’m not jaded), but whatever (I swear, I’m not jaded!). I do agree that we should celebrate our loved ones - and this day does create time to do that, so that's good.
But when I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of pink hearts and those cartoony "Valentines" we were forced to give and receive in grade school
whether we wanted to participate or not (EVERYONE SHALL GET A CARD DAMMIT). Later in life, I was coerced into thinking Valentine’s Day was when a guy either A) gave you flowers and chocolates, or B) HE SIMPLY HATED YOU.
And even later in life, I embraced variations of 'Valentine's Day', like Galentine's Day (hanging with the gals!) or, even better, Black Valentine's (using sarcasm to better understand and appreciate the cult of VDay).
SO, keeping all these things in mind (and letting you know where I'm coming from), I’ve created a list of my top 10 gift boxes or sets to give to folks you like or love (or, my fav, the people you hate the least), anytime of year. Here we go! >>
