Let me guess - you've been single for so many years that you sort of just forgot that hell has frozen over and pigs have flown and you actually have a sweetheart to shop for this
Valentine's Day! And since you failed to remember until just now that February 14th (as in
tomorrow) isn't just another day on the calendar this time around (an honest mistake), you're pretty much just planning to show up empty-handed and present-less on the big night with the assumption that your sympathetic sweetie will "understand." Lucky for you, unless your honey came up with the genius idea to hand-make your gifts this year (and in turn has set you both up for a Chandler-and-Monica style hand-puppet fiasco), this little problem of yours can easily be solved with a super-quick dash to your nearest
Walgreens or
Target. It may sound desperate, but let's get real - you
are desperate, and unless you feel like committing sex-life suicide on the supposedly most romantic day of the year, we suggest you get off the chair and get your hiney hoppin' to the nearest makeshift gift shop - pronto! From Valentine's-inspired
collectibles and
retro candy gift sets to
discounted perfume and cologne, these last-minute gifts may not be the smoothest of souvenirs, but you're just going to have to use that forgetful noggin of yours and figure out how to make it work! After all, you've always been complimented on your power of persuasion, and if there's ever been a time for your BS-ing skills to save your behind, it's now! Check out the slideshow for more last-minute gift ideas that you can hopefully salvage with a little dash of faux sentiment - good luck!
