That magical day is approaching. You know, the one where you fall in love with your sweetie all over again. Or you question why someone who loves you would think to give you an ear/nose hair trimmer.

What is the best Valentine's Day gift you've ever received? What is the worst?

Here's a few I heard from my friends:

"Oh I have the worst. Really. One year one of my husband's relatives gave me a book about snails...with the 99 cent sticker on it...from Pick n' Save. I couldn't even regift it!"

"My roommate constructed a tent of PVC pipes and red curtains and made dinner for his girlfriend, who's now his wife."

"The worst 'gift' I ever received was when the ocean side restaurant where my girlfriend and I were dining at in Newport Beach insisted on playing nothing but Air Supply songs throughout our ENTIRE Valentine's Day dinner. I finally had to talk to the manager by the time we got to dessert and ask him to knock it off. I was ready to jump off the pier."

"Someone I know gave his girlfriend an Elvis-shaped box of chocolates that played 'Love Me Tender' whenever it was open."

"My ex ran me a bubble bath and then gave me a massage right afterwards, but halfway through the massage, I broke out in an insane case of hives...He forgot I'm allergic to raspberries, which was the main ingredient in the bath soap and massage lotion... Benedryl for two days straight."
