This One Weird Valentine’s Day Gift Guide Will Make Your Situationship Feel Validated (And Your Therapist Need Therapy)
In a move that has relationship experts reaching for their anxiety meditation apps, major retailers have unveiled revolutionary Valentine’s Day gifts for every possible relationship status – including the ones that would make your grandma need a fainting couch.
The Dawn of Situationship Commerce
“This is a direct assault on traditional relationship values,” fumes relationship expert Dr. Sarah Heartfield, while aggressively stress-knitting a “Define The Relationship” sweater. “Next they’ll be selling ‘Sorry I Ghosted You But I’m Back Now’ gift baskets!”
The Valentine’s Day gifts collection includes everything from “We Met on Hinge But Haven’t Left Instagram DMs” care packages to “Third Wheel Appreciation” bundles. Taylor Swift reportedly commented, “Even I can’t write a song complicated enough for some of these relationship statuses.”
Jeffrey Pesos, Director of E-Commerce Operations at PISR, sees dollar signs: “These gifts are delivered faster than people change their relationship status – 48 hours or less, unless Mercury is in retrograde or your situationship is in shambles.”
March E. Tellerman, Master of Marketing Madness, adds his unique perspective: “Love nowadays is wilder than a bag of cats on prescription morphine! These gift categories are exactly what we need, just like my Mama needed that dead gator as a wrestling partner!”
The Price of Modern Love
With innovative offerings like “Couples Therapy Gift Cards (For When You’re Not Actually a Couple)” and “Relationship Status Pending Premium Package,” retailers are monetizing modern romance confusion at premium prices.
Remember, nothing says “I’m emotionally available but not ready to commit” quite like spending your rent money on Valentine’s Day gifts for your various almost-relationships. Because who needs financial stability when you can have perfectly curated emotional chaos?
