    The reason why you don鈥檛 have a Valentine is because you spend all your time at work, and your social life is in the mud. It doesn鈥檛 mean you have to miss out on the festivities, though. Ever thought about making your boss your Valentine? These eight gift ideas are totally appropriate 鈥� or not.

    Ask them to hold on to your salary

    But specify that it鈥檚 just your February salary o. You don鈥檛 want them thinking you want to start working for the 鈥減assion鈥�.

    Your life

    What says employee loyalty like actually giving your life for your boss? You can even add your blood as bonus, since they鈥檙e always asking for it.

    Actually do your work 

    A whole day when you actually do your work without getting lost in TikToks or Twitter? That鈥檚 a very valuable gift if you ask me.

    A mug

    Personalise it so they know how you really feel about them. They鈥檇 love it, trust me.

    A list of coworkers

    So they can remember everyone they employed and see that it鈥檚 okay to give others work too.

    Resign, but make it fancy

    Before you go, 鈥淗ow is this a gift?鈥� hear me out. You already plan to quit via email, so why not do it with a cake on Valentine鈥檚 Day? That way, they won鈥檛 cry on an empty stomach.

    Praise them on LinkedIn

    Because saying sweet things about your company or boss on LinkedIn is the corporate version of love letters. 

    Propose to them

    Chances are you鈥檝e already fallen in love with them. Valentine鈥檚 Day is the perfect time to take it a notch higher. Ask them to marry you. It鈥檚 either they say yes or they fire you. At least, you have a 50% chance of success.
