What Is The Worst Valentine's Gift You've Received?

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we want to know - what's the worst gift you ever got from your significant other?

Every Valentine's Day, men (and women alike) worry, obsess and cringe when it comes to shopping for the perfect gift for their loved one - and for good reason. 

I've heard many gifts go horribly wrong. One friend thought it wise to give his girlfriend a gift certificate to a gym one year. Another thought it was wise to buy his wife a vacuum cleaner, and recommend she test it out right away. 

One Christmas, my now-ex thought it wise to buy me jumper cables for my car. Needless to say, it wasn't meant to be.
