With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to think about the perfect gift for your significant other. Here are a few items that you should NOT get them.

1. A kitchen appliance.

Though useful, and sometimes even "fun", this is one of the least romantic things you can get for your SO.

2. A clock pen.

Again, useful, but totally not romantic.

3. A gym membership.

Just because your SO may mention wanting to go to the gym more, Valentine's Day is not the time for you to tell them you agree that they should.

4. Sugar-free candy.

Valentine's Day is not the day to skimp on the sugar.

5. Clearance Christmas candy.

We notice when the chocolate is shaped like Christmas trees and not hearts.

6. Tickets to something YOU want to see/do.

Unless, of course, your SO specifically said they wanted to see/do it, too.

7. A fish.

Living things are a no-no, especially if it's something you can't even snuggle with.

8. Generic perfume/cologne.

Girls already have too much of this, and do you really want your guy to smell like a Jr. High boy's locker?

9. A card that doesn't have a cute dog on it.

Or a cat, if they're into that.

10. And, of course, an avocado.

Nobody wants an avocado.
