Dear Reader,
Sorry to make you panic but here at The Rhubarb Society, we like to remind you of how lucky you are by prepping you for the worst-case scenario. With only a week to go, you may be considering the following;
Scheduling an unnecessary work trip in another country that you will insist has been in the joint calendar for months and that you are so sorry to be missing v-day but here’s my card to buy whatever you want with.
Asking your grandmother for one of her less impressive rings to use as a proposal to distract from the fact you forgot to buy an actual present.
Calling in a favour with your old schoolmate ‘Strake the Rake’ aka Tom Straker to beg for a last-minute private dining experience because surely with his reputation in the pits, he has time to help you out.
Stocking up on COOK frozen meals, hiding them in the freezer in the garage, and pretending that you spent hours slaving away over a homecooked Valentine’s dinner.
For those choosing the more sensible and traditional Valentine’s path, our latest gift guide has just gone live with some of our finest gifting ideas. We cover everything from the sensible to the extravagant, and as always we encourage our members to share their equally as sensible or extravagant ideas with other members. For those without partners, you are also encouraged to practice some self-love by spending an extortionate amount on whatever will dull the pain of being alone. This is also your reminder to block you ex.
Members are also reminded that the membership committee will be choosing the first of the listed excuses above and therefore will be out of the country just before Valentine’s Day and until their other halves allow them back home. If you are looking to apply for Social or Private membership, you are encouraged to do so before then because we foresee several messy divorces taking up most of the committee’s time afterwards.
