13 Valentine's Day Gifts That Aren't Romantic At All (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 02/13/2012 2:33 pm   Updated: 02/13/2012 2:33 pm

Valentine's Day is by far one of the most stressful holidays of the year for couples. Whether you're trying to pick out the perfect present, the perfect restaurant or the perfect bouquet of flowers, it's certainly not easy.

To make things even more complicated, companies rake in tons of cash marketing "romantic" and "sexy" products to the masses, trying to convince you to buy tacky, confusing or borderline offensive gifts. We mean come on: who's REALLY buying edible undies for Valentine's Day -- much less ones made out of meat?

While we don't feel qualified to tell you what to buy your special someone on V-Day, we are confident in telling you what NOT to buy. So with that in mind, we collected 13 of the most unromantic Valentine's Day gifts we could find online. Which ones are the worst? Vote and let us know!

You can always count on some cold turkey to try to take the fun out romance and sex. (Though I suspect the Brief Jerky was more art project than lovers gift, the other examples could provide some, uh, stimulation, even if it is comedic.)
Good job, rain-on-our-parade Huffers.

The 'Candy Bra' idea was stolen from YouTube's LocoMama

The Jerky underwear takes the cake, the guy that puts them on thinking hes in for a good night is probably going to be fed to the coyotes!!1

The USB Heart necklace is cool, particularly if it's in white gold, silver or the big girl...platinum. And...diamonds would be nice too. Just sayin'. But some of the other gifts are simply awful.

Agreed. I though is was cute and practical as well. The rest is questionable or tasteless but I have seen worst.

I like the USB heart too. Even geeks need love :)

A holiday invented so that the emotionally-needy gender (women) can be the object of someone's attention in as public way as possible.

I'd love to meet the woman who found the "brief jerky" sexy. I think she'd probably be a lot of fun.

the USB pendant preloaded with favourite photos sounds like a pretty neat gift to me. A modern equivalent of the locket.

Years ago, I would buy a package of those candy hearts, sand off those sentimental romantic messages, take a fine point red pen, and replace them with my own, less than sentimental, but romantic in a perverse sort of way, messages, and pass them out to female acquaintances. They garnered a few laughs, but rarely helped my cause.

The heart that says Boob Man takes the cake for me.
