Hilarious Ways Not to Screw up Valentine’s Day

Each February, we’re told that if we really care about our honey, we need to show it with our wallets.  If he doesn’t buy you artisanal chocolates, red roses, and silk lingerie, then he clearly doesn’t really love you.

What bullshit!

Showing our affection in less consumerist ways is pretty awesome since it sticks it to the man and besides we’re broke.  A DIY approach is great – just so long as you don’t fuck it up. So we’ve put together this handy guide for you.
