Between the ridiculously corny romance cards found in every aisle of every drugstore to the super sappy movies, commercials, and TV shows, it's too easy to take Valentine's Day seriously. But love shouldn't always be a super serious thing, and that's why I love good funny Valentine's Day gifts. When you're too somber about this holiday, it makes things tough. People in relationships feel like they have to spend a ton of money and time on making the day "perfect," and people who are single end up feeling lonely and sad. What's the point in that?
This year, let's all have a lighter attitude about Feb. 14. Instead of dropping a few hundred dollars on something pricey and elaborate, give your significant other or your best friend (or both) something that will make them laugh. Every time they use it, they'll giggle, think of you, then smile — and that's kind of the best gift you could give someone. I'm pretty positive V-Day will be a lot more fun if you relax, take it easy, lower high expectations, and spend the day joking around with the people you love the most. Here are 20 hilarious Valentine's Day gift ideas to get you started. Now just try not to blow your money on every single one of them OK?
