"No Clue for VDay? Our List is Your Cupid (#3 is SHOCKING)"

 
 

            With the holiday only 48 hours away, the drug stores will be flush with flustered men – and women – attacking the remaining inventory of sappy cards, heart shaped candies and teddy bears. But what if you and your sweetheart have alternative tastes? Don’t fret; there are plenty of ideas to make your Valentine’s Day fun, flirty, and cool.

            Why waste a small fortune on a meal when you both have a different craving? No, not that! White Castle sliders! The fast food hamburger chain with a cult following is taking reservations for candlelit, waiter serviced dinner dates at participating locations. The normally drab restaurants are decked out in red hearts, Cupid decorations and the like. Put on your best sweat pants and ironically chow down with the one you crave.

            Now to the real focus on the holiday, the gifts! Lingerie is certainly a nice gift for a lady to receive but for her partner, it’s expensive and hard to pick out. Fundies are underwear designed to be worn by both you and your date, at the same time. Even if your date is less than keen to get that close, he or she will definitely see your sense of humor.

            However, what if it all goes wrong? Your date spilled his beer on your outfit on the bus, or maybe she called you a different name - twice? You’ll be headed for the door, but what if they start to get aggressive? The hottest just-in-case accessory this Valentine’s Day is the hot pink pepper spray gun by Mace. Cute, compact and ready to subdue any unwanted suitor, it’s never a bad idea to carry protection.

            If you and your date aren’t the red roses and chalk hearts types, you can still have a great time with these off-beat ideas that will surely make hearts skip a beat. Enjoy the holiday and be mine – unless you don’t want to, of course. The pepper spray gun may not be necessary!
