6. “And Chill” Tee
Although not necessarily a weird gift, this t-shirt can provide a light-hearted joke on one of the more important days of any relationship. For those Valentine’s Day couples who are fairly new, this t-shirt would be the most casual, but still somewhat meaningful gift. What better way to show that new special someone you have a sense of humor than to wear a shirt expressing it for the world to see? Urban Outfitters took it upon themselves to provide the answer.

1. Cockroach Naming Rights
What is the absolute worst possible thing you could have given to your significant other this year for Valentine’s Day? A McDonald’s cheeseburger would have been more romantic than this. This year, the Bronx Zoo in New York set up a way for you to gift the naming rights to a cockroach to another person. For a whopping $10, you receive an official certificate proving the legitimacy of your cockroach’s name. Nothing says “our love is eternal” like naming a nearly indestructible insect after your Valentine.
