I was in Clinton's the other day whilst my mate bought his Fiancée a card, so I had a real good look at the stuff you can buy. Man, there's a lot of tat available! I'd almost not noticed it in years past, not until I was directly exposed to it.
Highlight, for me, was this HUGE plague type thing with this... I guess it was red felt texturing. It had tacky gold text etched into it, full on generic words, and a big heart cut out of the middle. In the heart were two ladybirds, which looked like they had been drawn by very young kids, suspended on springs so they kind of wobbled around. It cost £17.99. This plague even came with a lid, so whoever buys that is literally going to hand the object of their affections a BOX OF SHIT.
The gym in the belly of our office is having a beauty therapist come in early next week and they are offering Valentines Packages to both men and women. "Flirty Lashes" for £15 was one available option. Bargain!
I know some of you on here either have girlfriends or are married, are you buying in this year? Is anyone intending to send out cards to unrequited loves, thus securing future restraining orders? Egotastic Helps You Not Eff Up Valentines if that is the case.
