The Absolute Worst Valentine's Day Gifts for Women

With Valentine's Day rapidly approaching, you're probably racking your brains trying to determine what to give that special woman in your life, whether it's your wife or your girlfriend, the decision is an important one. In actuality, it may be just as important to know what not to give a woman on Valentine's Day. Here are some of the very worst Valentine's Day gifts for women:

Worst Valentine's Day gift: Exercise equipment

If you want your wife or girlfriend to ignore you for a week, surprise her with a new treadmill on Valentine's Day. It's not so much the treadmill that's a losing idea as what that little piece of exercise equipment represents. Your significant other will draw only one conclusion from your generosity. That she's getting fat and flabby. Is that really the mood you want to set on Valentine's Day? Another disaster gift you'll want to avoid is a gym membership or supply of weight loss pills, for obvious reasons.

Worst Valentine's Day gift: A toaster or other practical appliance

Do you really think your wife is dreaming of getting a new toaster this Valentine's Day? After she unwraps her brand new, state of the art toaster, the only thing that's going to be toast is you. The same applies for a host of other practical appliances including the new food processor or blender you can envision your wife using to prepare a Valentine's Day milkshake or cold drink for you. Believe me, the only thing cold you'll get out of this one is a cold shoulder.

Worst Valentine's Day gift: Sugar free candy or other low calorie treats

It may taste almost as good as the high sugar version but this isn't a wise choice if you want to keep your relationship on sound footing. No matter how you phrase it or how you explain it, you won't be able to remove the obvious thought from her mind. Do you really want to hear those three little words repeated ad nauseum over the next six months. "Am I fat?"

Worst Valentine's Day gift: Anything you've always wanted for yourself
