Infuriating Valentine's card is the sweet, sweet revenge singletons need
Valentine's Day is the absolute worst. When you're single, that is. Ugh, whatever. I'm sure it's just dandy for all the loved-up couples everywhere who are showered in gifts, cards and affection on Feb. 14. But, where's the fun for all the single people? Well, now you can get your kicks by pranking your mates with this hideously irritating card.
The "Never-ending Valentine's Day card" has the appearance of your average V-Day card. But, once you open it up and press the button, it'll play a romantic jingle for three hours non-stop. And, pressing the button a second time won't stop the music.
In fact, the only way to end the sheer misery of it all is to tear the card up and smash the circuitry inside, which then unleashes an explosion of heart-shaped glitter. Of course, if you're in a relationship then this is also the perfect way to prank your beloved whilst also showing your affection (albeit in a frustrating way). The card, priced at £10.99 ($14.29), is available from Firebox.com.
