Buy Your 2011 Yearbook

It’s the thought that counts, right? Valentine’s Day is about expressing love for one another, but what happens when your gift is totally thoughtless? If you’re someone who has a hard time giving gifts, you might want to keep this in mind for what not to give.
Senior Payton Young had the perfect example of a thoughtless gift. “One time I got a ton of chocolate which was bad, because I’m allergic to it.” Remember: if it can kill them, it’s not a good gift!
Sophomore Kerri Manroy and senior Kris Nemec both said that they didn’t get anything for Valentine’s Day one year. Sometime’s nothing is better than something though.
“The first year I was married, my husband got me a kitchen table for Valentine’s Day,” said Kelly Morehead, Associate Principal. “It was a very nice table, but it’s not something you want for Valentine’s Day.”
“I got some really old chocolate from my grandma last year,” said junior Kylee Loutas. “It was like three years old!”
Junior Amiee Sankovich said, “I got some old chocolate too. It was really hard and gross.” Before you give food, please reference the expiration date.
Another bad gift, according to junior Paula Andrie, is bad smelling flowers, “A couple years ago, I got a bouquet of really pretty flowers, but they smelt really, really bad.”
So remember this when you’re Valentine’s Day shopping:
What Not To Get Your Loved One
5. Stuff that smells bad
4. Furniture of any kind
3. Perishable items past the expiration date
2. Nothing
1. Things that pose life-threatening danger
