Trying to capitalize on the celebration, businesses produce all sorts of products that are meant to catch the attention of potential buyers. But not all of these attempts are successful.
From chocolates and greeting cards to candles and underwear, we at Bored Panda collected some of the biggest Valentine's Day design fails to remind you to keep your eyes open when spending your hard-earned cash.

Local Pharmacy Gets It On For The Valentine's Day Display
That's what I was thinking. I was examining the pictures looking for staples.
Load More Replies...As a pharmacy worker I would like to say that when you are buying condoms we barely give it a thought, we are more concerned and ask more questions of the people buying paracetamol and over the counter codeine based pain meds. If we do give you a passing thought as we complete the sale of the condoms it's usually "smart girl/woman/boy/man/whatever you identify as" and then we will forget what you look like and what brand/size/flavour/texture you went away with. The same as period products and incontinence products and pile cream or any other product you need for what you think of as an embarrassing problem. You are not the customers we worry about (in a general otherwise healthy not needing to seek extra support way) or that we remember or keep an eye on, the customers who are buying medication that can become addictions more and more frequently are the people we watch and think and worry about, so we can take action to help them x
Can confirm, as a pharmacy worker I remember the codeine addicts not the teenagers buying condoms.

But despite this rise in proactivity, new research from Superdrug Online Doctor, a service that helps people discreetly order treatments online from UK-registered doctors, has discovered that 14% of Brits would never tell their partner about their STI status.
Key takeaways from the research included:
- Over half (51%) said they’d want to know if their date had an STI but only 28% would tell their date if they did.
- Searches for ‘sti home test’ have seen a 78% rise versus the monthly average.
- 91% of Brits said an STI diagnosis would negatively impact their mental health, relationships, social life, love life, general confidence, or even their career.

The research comes from a recent survey of 2,000 sexually active adults, in the hope of breaking the taboo around STIs and helping people openly discuss their experiences.
Superdrug Online Doctor's sexologist, Jess O'Reilly Ph.D., explained to Bored Panda in a statement how people can potentially approach the topic if needed:
"Talking about testing and STIs can be intimidating because of stigma and a general unease around sex. But talking about sex ought not to be awkward. If you’re comfortable enough to get naked and rub your bodies against one another, hopefully you'll also cultivate a connection that allows you to talk about your desires, needs, boundaries, and expectations around safer sex - which includes STI testing."

Load More Replies...My Fiancé Has A “Valentine’s Day Elf”. Looks To Me Like Santa Joined The Klan
If you REALLY care to be accurate, it's a "nisse." (Also known as "tufte", "traine" or "tomta.") Nisses were little household spirits who were said to frequently make crafts as a sign of appreciation to householders who they were grateful for. When the tradition was carried into English, some translators chose "elf," which was a very general term, and other magical creatures (brownies, hobgoblins, faeries, sprites, gremlins) weren't any more accurate, and had, at least in some contexts, misleading connotations (epherial, demonic, hostile). I'd've thought "gnome" fits better than "elf", as it is attested to in English since the 16th century.

Talking about sex and STIs can be tricky, especially with someone who you are, or planning to be, intimate with. According to O'Reilly and another Superdrug Online Doctor's expert, Julia Kotziamani, who is a love, sex, and relationship educator, the key things to remember before such a discussion are:
- Start the conversation early;
- Get knowledgeable about STIs;
- Be open and accepting;
- Remove the shame;
- Stay up to date with testing;
- Remember the first time is the hardest;
- Consider your partner’s discomfort with the topic;
- Be prepared for their reaction.

I believe this is intentional. The cat is correcting the dog, while simultaneously complimenting the dog.

I don't care who you are, but dogs are WAYYYYY smarter than cats! My dog not only knows how to sit, stay, lay down, high five and play dead, but he also gets woken up by his own farts, sniffs them, and tries to eat them... I don't think your reath-taking cat can do all that!

Oh I would sooo take this...I would feel horrible for WEEKS thinking about it if I didnt!
Same!! I have a vivid memory of being a small child (6 or 7) and my mom allowed me to pick out a stuffed animal from the department store we were at. I immediately chose a stuffed dog who had a twisted, mis-sewn front leg and wonky eye. My mom asked me why I wanted that one, I should put it back and pick a different one from the bin (of the same style of plushie) because that one was messed up. I told her, "I want HIM because no one else will want him if he's messed up." I named the plushie Aragh (the wolf in the animated movie "Flight of Dragons".) 35 years later, I still have Aragh the plushie :)

This Valentine's Day Card Is Missing The "Of" Before Love

Is this an American thing? I thought valentine stuff was supposed to be romantic stuff, which makes this absolutely creepy as all hell, but there seems to be a lot of what I would call inappropriate stuff on here (between parent and child, or young kids or whatever).
I mean, Valentine's Day is ostensibly for couples, and ostensibly romantic by extension, yes. But I remember in grade school as a young child (yes, in America), we always bought small bags of candy and packets of "friend" Valentine's cards meant for kids, and gave them out to our classmates. The cards would say things like "You're T-RIFFIC!" (with a dinosaur on it) or "I choo-choo-choose you!" with a train (okay, that's from the Simpsons...) or "Have an ENCHANTED day!!" with fairies flying around, or "You are one of a kind!" with a unicorn on it. Tame, and friendly, and kid-safe. Our teachers always made us bring one for every classmate so no one got left out. They were cheap things your parents would throw out as soon as you got home, but it was a way of making Valentine's Day special for kids too. IMO, Valentine's Day doesn't have to be romantic - you can spend the day with WHOMEVER you care about, or just by yourself, with no obligations or expectations.

The number is different. Clearly the sticker was placed so it had a new working code for scanning. The one on the balloon is probably for the distributor, the sticker for the retailer
Target's Got Valentines For Kids Who Really Hate Their Classmates (Or Who Really Like Them?)
I read that as 24 flick-em VALENTINES. Not what other people are seeing.
This Valentine's Day Decoration
Yeah, I think BP thought it was inadvertent bad grammar (“your” instead of “you’re”) and didn’t realize the “R” was intentional shorthand for “are”
Load More Replies...i don't think the is a fail. this is very much on purpose and thought out to be "cute" of course its not but still
If I called my wife an ox on Valentine's Day, it would not end well...
All they needed to do was put quotes on either side of the 'R' and all would have been fine.
This Is A Part Of The Valentine's Display At My Grocery Store
The Best Gift You Could Reccieve This Valentine's Day
Those Tree Hut sugar scrubs are amazing! I always keep one in my shower. Coconut Lime is my current one. :)
Flyer For My Church's Upcoming Valentine's Dance
no, not unnecessary quotes!!! Hate those with a passion. Unless 'Dance' is being used as a euphemism along with 'swing'...
It's not even ON valentines day too, it's on ... valentines eve?
Local Thai Restaurant Using Uganda Knuckles For Valentine's Day Art
this list reminds me of when i was looking at valentines for kids to give to their class and such online, and some of them were really suggestive like “i think you’re really foxy” with a winking fox and the like. i was flabbergasted, these were for CHILDREN and i remarked “may as well put a unicorn and say-“ and then my sister clapped her hand over my mouth. those valentines could’ve been on this list, they were TERRIFYING
What? Where on earth do you see the harm in “I think you’re foxy”? In my day, we used “cute,” but how is “foxy” TERRIFYING to you? Or does “foxy” mean something else in the language you speak, maybe? It’s completely innocuous in English.

Guess a lot of people are not familiar with the background .... do they also celebrate Mother's Day for little girls, just because they might be a mother some time in the future? Or Father's Day for little boys? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine
I think we are pretty far from the extremely outdated celebrations one might associate with a saint who was born almost 1,800 years ago, in the literal year 226. Trying to insist that Valentine's Day in 2023 should be about "courtly love" and "romance" only is spurious and facetious. Grandparents can wish their grandkids a happy Valentine's Day. A 6-year-old can give their classmate a "You Are Pawsome!" V-day card. Why CAN'T little kids celebrate V-day in a child-friendly way? As a schoolkid, we always gave little boxes of candy and a child-friendly Valentine's Day card to every other kid in the class. There were no implications or assumptions. No one was trying to insist that Valentine's Day HAD to be romantic/lovey-dovey, or you weren't allowed to celebrate it at all. As an aside, I believe that a little girl absolutely CAN celebrate Mother's Day... with her mother or motherly parental figure, ditto for a little boy and his father or fatherly parental figure. We don't have to force our celebrations into ancient customs that make no sense in the modern world, and we absolutely do NOT have to exclude people from celebrating and enjoying Valentine's Day if they aren't dating/a couple/in a relationship.
Load More Replies...I’ve never celebrated Valentine’s Day with my husband. I truly believe it’s an absolute waste of money. Plus, I’d rather have someone do something nice for me just because, rather than have a set date. In a way, it’s kinda entertaining to watch all these idiots run around, stressing about it, while we just get to sit back & relax. : )
It’s only a “waste of money” if you spend money. There’re thousands of things you can do for free. If you have an imagination, you can use it to have a free and romantic day, and if you don’t, you can carp about the money you’ve misspent, but trying to take the fun out of it for others won’t work. 😉
