Thank goodness that’s over for another year.
We asked our readers to share their underwhelming Valentine’s Day experiences with us, because what is love if not the ability to take solace in the banality of existence? And how they responded, from half-hearted flowers to the romance of being at a car boot sale in Shacklewell.
Here are 10 of the most disappointing gifts you received this year.
1) Tat
2) A doctored card
3) A broken leg
4) Chickenpox
The WORST Valentine's present ever....
For my Wife's Valentine I have given her a brilliant dose of Chickenpox! How the two of us got to our 40s without getting it before is beyond me but now the two of us are all spotty.
Apparently "My Little Biohazard" isn't an appropriate term of endearment! Who would have known?
5) A chain pub dinner
'Spoons
Only the finest Wetherspoons will do for Valentine's Day.
6) Coffee for one
7) A hotel cookie
Away for work, cookie from the hotel...
Working abroad in the US and have no valentines, but I do have a terrible cookie from the hotel to keep me company. Must be love.
8) A leftover Christmas chocolate
9) A terrifying bear of love
i think the bear has taken something
Checking through the medicine cupboard NOW!
10) The gift of your own company
Valentine's Day dinner
Dinner in the best company
