Etsy picks: Anti Valentines Day

Let's be clear here. I think that the idea of taking a day out to show someone that you really appreciate them is lovely. I think the idea of the tedious, repetitive columns that materialise year after year, both for and against Valentine's Day (the rants about being single that protest too hard, the complaints about commercialisation, the nauseating smugness of some columnists that will be taken out) is horrible. If you want to celebrate it, do. If you don't, don't. Why does everybody make such a fuss? Although being bombarded with red paper hearts every time you leave the house from the 26th of December onwards can get a tad tiring. In this vein, I was looking though Etsy and stumbled upon a large category of anti-Valentines gifts that made me laugh. Some of them are tongue in cheek and some are a bit scary in a bitter sort of way - but it's nice to see people having fun with the Valentine's concept - with nary a cute teddy in sight!
