1. Flowers: There is no more unoriginal gift. If you do decide to buy flowers, at least make your own bouquet, not a prearranged one. This might seem cliché, but that doesn’t mean he or she won’t love it.
2. Gym Memberships:  Nothing says “you’re fat” like a membership to Gold’s Gym.
3. Facebook Gifts: They may be free, but a pixelated picture of Farmville livestock won’t help you get the key to your partner’s heart.
4. Giant Teddy Bears: Bigger isn’t always better.
5. Valentine’s Day Clothing: No one wants a hot pink sweater with a heart on it. No one.
6. A Breakup: Enough said.
7. Candy: A word of advice—if you do get chocolate, don’t buy the cheap kind. Swap chocolate from See’s Candies for Godiva or something high end.                  
8. Promise Rings: As Taylor Swift says, “When you’re fifteen and someone tells you they love you, you’re going to believe them.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t necessarily make it true.
9. Stolen Items: This means your partner didn’t even have the decency to go to the dollar store and buy something with his or her own money.
10. Nothing.
