This Is the Most Hated Valentine's Day Gift, Survey Shows

Don't be surprised if your special someone isn't excited about this particular gift.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, you're probably on the hunt for a gift or two for your significant other. Sure, there's the classic chocolate and flowers combo, but who's to say that's what your special someone really wants? In a new survey commissioned by jewelry site Angara.com and conducted by OnePoll, 2,000 Americans in relationships were asked which Valentine's Day gifts they thought were the most cliché, identifying the single worst generic V-day gift you could buy.

While jewelry, roses, and boxes of chocolate are some of the most popular Valentine's Day gifts, according to the survey's findings, that doesn't mean those presents will impress your partner. In fact, quite the opposite. Read on to discover the worst Valentine's Day gift out there, according to 2,000 Americans, and for more presents to avoid, check out The Most Hated Holiday Gift, Survey Shows.
