Valentine’s Day is, without a doubt, one of the most stressful holidays of the year. I’ve never really understood the appeal of it, but that could be because I’m a guy. On top of that, I’m not very sentimental either. And yes, I could go on forever about how Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a holiday created by card companies and chocolate shops to fill the gap between New Year’s and Easter. But what’s the point? It’s not like that would change anything. Valentine’s Day will come around every year and we’re all just going to have to grin and bear it.
That said, if you aren’t emotionally unavailable and do want to get something nice for your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife, we’re trying to help. We sent one of our writers to the best local chocolate shops to show you the best candy options. You want bacon-flavored chocolate? We’ve got you covered.
Remember, the best gifts are the ones you actually put thought into. Don’t wait until the last minute, otherwise next year you might not have to worry about Valentine’s Day at all. But sometimes that’s a good thing.
