#9. Dress that does not fit

As a partner, you are supposed to know your sweetheart's size! If you would gift your man a small-sized shirt, he might feel that you do not find him masculine enough. Similarly, things might get worse for men if they gift her a dress that is a couple of sizes too big as she may think– “Do you think I am so fat?” You know how touchy girls are about their bodies, so be careful.

#10. Stuff toys

Be original, be you! Throwing in a stuffed toy here or there through the course of your relationship is okay. But gifting stuffed toys on Valentine's day? That idea went out with the last millennium.
