Look, we don’t hate Valentine’s Day. We love love. But sometimes we hate love, too. Like when we don’t have it in our lives, and the whole world feels intent on showing us how much other people do, and how great and sexy and full of heart-shaped chocolate it is.
So that’s why we’ve created the Anti-Valentine’s Day Gift Guide. It’s a gift guide for the person who’s sitting Valentine’s Day out this year, and owning it. For the person whose idea of a big spoon is one with a giant scoop of peanut butter on it. For the person who looks at those mawkish Hallmark cards and Lifetime showings of The Notebook, shakes his or her head and is all, “Nah, I’m good.”
In other words, it’s for the person who may or may not be you this Valentine’s Day.
