We cannot believe we’re doing this, but here we are. Valentine’s Day gifts for the situationship exist because sometimes you want to acknowledge the vibe without fully endorsing it. You’re not trying to make a statement. You’re trying to stay slightly unbothered and firmly within the "this could still go either way" zone, while still reminding him exactly what he (almost) has.
This is gifting with boundaries. Things that feel thoughtful but not intense. Nice, but not permanent. Luxurious, but absolutely returnable to your own apartment if needed. If he won’t define the relationship, he doesn’t get a designer cologne with emotional weight attached—he gets the dupe. Or slippers, if he's lucky. Or perhaps a toothbrush he can keep at your place so he can stop f*cking stealing yours every weekend.
And this goes without saying, but we'll say it: don't you dare get that boy a card.
