Valentines day

Or if you're going the more low key and direct route: 

Just in case you forgot: You were not nearly as clever and romantic as this lady or chap was on Valentine's Day. That is all.

Well hey, if you're going to be hanging out alone at the bars tonight, at least there's a good trick you can pull along the way.

Norwood Thomas met Joyce Morris in England during World War II and took every chance they had to be together. Unfortunately, Thomas was sent home to America abruptly when the war was over. They still sent letters, and he even asked Morris to marry him but after some misunderstanding, they lost touch. 

70 years later, Morris asked her son to help her look up her old flame and she found him in an article about a D-Day Veteran who just crossed skydiving off his bucket list.

She asked her son to help her contact him and soon enough they were reconnecting over Skype. 

In packages that range from "pretty nice of you" to extravagant, this company will send your (soon to be ex) lover a care package along with a video of you breaking up with them. 



It's probably not the kind of gift most people are expecting for Valentines day but at least it's better than a text message.
