Buzzillions.com Names "Worst Valentine's Day Gifts for 2008"
Online Retail Portal: When it Comes to Valentine's Day Gift Ideas, Don't Be That Guy!
Millbrae, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Buzzillions.com (www.buzzillions.com), the premier online shopping portal that provides products and high-quality reviews from more than 1000 top retail Web sites, today unveiled its list of the worst products for men to buy for their girlfriends or wives for Valentine's Day. Giving any one of these presents is virtually guaranteed to result in a night on the couch or in the doghouse.
"After looking at the thousands of products available on our site, we determined that these were the very worst gift ideas for this romantic day," said Jim Morris, General Manager of Buzzillions.com. "They are actually great items, but are totally thoughtless, inappropriate, insulting or just plain wrong for Valentine's Day. Here's a hint, guys: don't give a gift that tells your significant other that she needs to lose weight, improve her appearance or do more work around the house. Buzzillions helps shoppers find products based on reviews from people like them - and in this case those other people are also probably going to have a lot of apologizing to do!"
The Buzzillions.com "Worst Valentine's Day Gifts for 2008" list includes:
- Taylor Precision Taylor 1550 Large Dial Bathroom Scale (says "lose weight")
- Fashion Forms Silicone Push-Ups (says "sorry you're not Pam Anderson")
- Miele S4210IA Vacuum Cleaner (says "do some more cleaning")
- Skil 18-Volt Power Drill Driver (says "I really want this for myself")
- It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken (says "see you later, alligator")
- Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky Dandruff Shampoo (says "is it snowing already?")
- How to Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson (says "I'm bored with you, honey")
- My Bloody Valentine DVD (says "watch your back")
