you've likely all heard it at least once from your partner when Valentine's Day rolls around that poorly delivered line assuring you that it's just a cheesy holiday and that she doesn't partake in it consider yourself warned she is lying and this is a trap if February 14th rolls around and you don't even have a daisy to show for it you may find yourself sleeping in the doghouse for the rest of the month hey guys it's Vanessa and Ariana from CNET and today I have the list of top 5 worst gift ideas for your lady on Valentine's Day number 5 on the list big-screen TVs an Xbox one or any other gadget that is clearly more for you than it is for her if you end up spending more time in front of that flat-screen TV than with her trust me she will know you gifted yourself instead go for something more personal like an iPad Mini with her initials or a quote engraved on the back coming in at number 4 iTunes or Google Play gift cards on most holidays these convenient little cards are a safe bet but bets are all off on Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day she needs to feel special and doesn't want to get the same gift you gave your bro as a belated birthday gift instead make her a playlist of her favorite songs or get the entire season of her favorite TV show and preload them on her device of choice downside as part of the gift you'll probably be required to listen to or watch yes even if that means 20 hours worth of The Bachelor number 3 on the list a Roomba nest or any other smart appliance just because she made you watch the YouTube clip of a cat on a Roomba doesn't mean she wants one for her living room not only is it a highly unromantic gift it may be sending her the wrong message to my sweetheart because you don't clean after yourself if you're dead set on getting something for the home consider a massage chair for her and second on the list ecards nothing says you're not worth the extra 5 minutes it takes to go buy you a real card than an e-card a few things should never become high-tech and love letters are one of them instead sites like Shutterfly and Snapfish let you print out all sorts of virtual creations like photo books and cards put some effort in it and plan hat and the worst gift you could ever get your partner on Valentine's Day fitness trackers there's a reason why chocolates are such a popular Valentine's Day gift you want to treat your love not insinuate that she needs to shape up and no no giving her chocolates and a Fitbit will not neutralize the message there's only one type of physical activity that she should be thinking about today and you won't be a part of it if you give her one of these instead and get her the best kind of wearable jewellery you don't have to hire an orchestra to impress a woman on Valentine's Day it's really all about the details and putting thought into your gift tech or non tech so take some cues from this list and go have yourself a wonderful Valentine's Day and check out more of our top 5s at cnet.com slash prasena I'm Vanessa Henriette
