Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re frustrated at the prospect of spending another February 14th by yourself, this collection of ten different ways to destroy a heart should bring you some perverse satisfaction. From taking a baseball bat to a romantic breakfast, to smashing a chalky candy heart with an axe, there’s no better passive aggressive way to say I wish I wasn’t so lonely. [YouTube] More »
Forget chocolates and flowers. Those tokens of your affection don’t last. What does last? A robot. Robots are forever. That is why they will be our eventual doom. Robobbie is an adorable robot paper puppet that you can give your significant other this Valentine’s Day.
These cute toys come from Etsy paper artist crankbunny. A special key card activates Robobbie’s heart when you insert it into Robobbie. Just insert the card and it’s eyes blink and light up in bright colors that tell the giftee that your circuits are overloading for them. It’s not just for Valentine’s Day either. You can get the key card in several options. Like for birthdays, a blank card, a star card etc.
This cute guy has many moving joints, LED lights and of course electrical parts. It measures 7 x10 inches. Give the gift of a robot this year for only $29.40(USD).
Etsy artist Nastalgame sells plastic jewelry inspired by the hearts from The Legend of Zelda. There’s a necklace, a bracelet, a ring and two different types of earrings. The hearts can also be “broken”, in case you’re not feeling particularly romantic.
For example, the bracelet you see above has two sides:
The hearts on the necklace and the pair of earrings with short chains can literally be broken apart, but the chains will hold up both heart halves. The other pair of earrings on the other hand consists of two halves that match together. But my favorite piece is the ring. Not only does the heart snap in to two pieces, the ring itself can be separated, so you can give one of the halves to someone else. Awwwww.
Head to Nastalgame’s Etsy shop to order some Pixel Heart jewelry before Valentine’s Day. It’ll cost you $6-$11 (USD) depending on which jewelry you order.

For obvious reasons, February 14th is the day that most single people dread. If you’ve been dumped, cheated on, lied to, or jilted by a scumbag of an ex-boyfriend (or ex-girlfriend) recently, then it’s time you placed an order in for some bitter Valentine candy. I don’t mean bitter, as in bitter to the taste. Rather, I mean sweet little heart-shaped candies that carry a mean and definitely not well-meaning message on each.
Necco is well-known for their candy hearts, and they’ve begun offering a ‘personalize your own Necco‘ service lately which you can use to achieve your bitter ends this (anti-)Valentine’s Day. They’ve got filters set up to prevent people from personalizing profanity-riddled hearts… But where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Crude, I know, but hey, anything to cheer the lonelies and the heartbroken on Not-So-Happy Hearts Day, right?

The restaurants are crowded, the roses are expensive, but on Valentine’s Day you’ll do anything for your significant other—except licking the awful envelope seal on the card you bought. Why the greeting card industry opts for the lowest-grade toxic glue it can find is a mystery, but thankfully there’s now a vastly superior alternative—chocolate-flavored envelopes. More »
