Judging from the number of people who find my blog by searching for "unconventional valentines" I am not the only person who resents the compulsory showing of affection forced on us annually by mass merchandisers. I honestly believe if you love someone you do not need to be guilted into showing your affection by someone who stands to make a profit from it. You should just give her chocolate all the time.
In the midst of all the red and pink heart-shaped products screaming at us from December 26th through February 14th and beyond I have found one product which captures the true spirit of Valentines day. Bittersweets, brought to us by Despair.com. These are the same chalky-tasking, tooth-breaking conversation hearts available in fine gas stations everywhere, except the message they carry gets right to the issue. Some of my personal favorites from the "Dejected" collection; "Answer Phone", "Easily Broken", "Strike Three", "Not Again", "Dork Magnet" and "I'm Hot Inside". The only thing that would be better than getting these for Valentines day, would be getting them the day after Valentines day.
