Valentine’s Day: it’s awful.
Except for candy hearts. Those are ok.
The rest is a schmaltzy melange of lukewarm prix-fixe dinners and semi-stale chocolates.
So, this year, we return to our annual advice: on Valentine’s Day, just do her a kindness.
Forgo the Hallmark aisle.
Put the heart-shaped box down.
Just show her you care, in whichever way you’ve agreed, as a couple, to show your affection.
