Button
Don’t feel like interacting with people on Valentine’s Day? With a Social Alert Button from Word for Word Factory on Etsy, you can let everyone know your status without having to utter a thing. Options include Single, Heavy Heart, Heart Breaker, Not Interested, Sick of this Sh*t, Cat Man, and more.

If you have a little pent-up aggression (who doesn’t?), simply fill this piñata full of your fave candy and smash it to bits. You’ll feel a lot better afterwards, either due to the physical exertion or the candy reward. Also, if it’s one of those Valentine’s Days, feel free to fill it with miniature booze bottles instead–just make sure they’re plastic.
