My husband and I don't hate Valentine's, but we don't really ever do anything, either. Typically, our way of handling gift giving is if one of us wants something that's a little bit of a splurge and it's anywhere near a gift giving holiday, we'll ask the other "Can I go ahead and buy this and you can say you gave it to me for _?" I haven't had to buy him anything recently for our Anniversary, Christmas, or Valentine's Day because he spent a lot of money to buy parts to make a Honey Badger long gun. It works out really well for us, but I'm guessing isn't very helpful for you.
My husband and I are going to see Deadpool for Valentine's Day and will probably watch The Walking Dead premiere that night. Forget all that romantic shit :)
Not that it's any help, but just gotta mention that I heard about a bacon fest taking place at a casino somewhere around here-ish on Valentine's day. I wish I had my very own dude-boy atm so that we could go there and have the most amazing snarky time gnawing on bacon things whilst people-watching. Tasty meat-snacking and bonding over shit-talking the surrounding humanity would be the most fabulous way to spend the silly day, doncha think?
penicillin?
@carl669 a star for you, sir.
@hollboll why thank you ma'am.
I'd expect more creativity.. There are bunch of t-shirts out there on the theme, but most are horrific designs.

@PurplePawprints can you divorce him and marry me instead?
@username haha Sorry, that's not an option.
A single share of Hallmark Cards stock.
Well, OK, it is still privately held and owned by the Hall family. But it's the thought that counts isn't it?
Wait what? There are people who DON'T hate getting VD?

@stardate820926 don't forget Better Call Saul. i think season 2 premieres that night as well.
@carl669 I think Saul starts on Monday but we will definitely be watching that one as well!
@stardate820926 you're right!
I still think y'all just need hugs. They can be sexual or not. Really, whatever you can get. No shame. Don't be haters.
(TC edit - your image link had an asterisk in it, killing it. I replaced with a similar image.)
@Thumperchick Thanks! I actually edited it, but I like yours better. :-)
Sucks?
For the less easily offended, an even less appropriate Bill.
@joelmw Option 2 is waaaay better.
@cinoclav I agree. I just figured some folks might find it offensive and I wanted to be sensitive to that.
Geez, I was just referencing Fukubukuro 7 title, and at the same time looking for gag gifts for perpetually single friends.
