Which Valentine's Gift Are You?

     What in the world do I get them?!

     Gift giving is hard! You want to impress your valentine, but you don’t want to be too showy. You want to show you care, but your wallet is only so deep. Maybe they’re picky. Maybe YOU’RE picky! It’s a nearly insurmountable challenge.

     …right?

     Not so fast, dear reader! I’ve taken the time to construct what I believe is a fool-proof method for devising the best possible Valentine’s Day treat: A personality quiz! Classic, right? If it’s not a listicle, it’s a quiz. Simply fill out this quiz from the perspective of your valentine (or maybe give it to them to fill out, if you don’t mind ruining the surprise). If the gift goes unappreciated, I can guarantee your money back.*

     *I cannot guarantee this at all. If you’re unsatisfied with your purchase, just… do your daily quests or something. You’ll probably make your money back.

     Now, without further ado, I am proud to present…

     10: With a plot on the horizon, how are you choosing to prepare?

     A - Training in the Battledome! Gotta get ready to protect Neopia from any threats.

     Now, onto the results!

     If you answered mostly A’s, your gift is the Valentine's Heart Shaped Chocolate Box!

     You’re classic. You’re reliable. You might be a little bit predictable, but who said predictability was a bad thing? You’re the sort of person who can win just about anyone over- you might make fast friends, or just generally get along with everyone. You’re a perfectly palatable friend, which makes you this perfectly palatable present.

     If you answered mostly B’s, your gift is the Icy Heart Candy!

     I know, I know- you read “icy heart” and think “Woah, this person is COLD!” Uncaring, aloof, standoffish. This is wrong! You might be a little slower to warm than others, but that just makes your love all the more special. You reserve your time and attention for the rare few who truly deserve it- making this gift perfect for you.

     If you answered mostly C’s, your gift is the Valentines Negg!

     You’re quirky. You’re fun. You’re a little unpredictable. Are you an egg or a fruit? Who knows! The mystery is the fun of it all. You’re spontaneous and entertaining, two traits that make you an absolute joy to be around. The Valentine Negg is perfect for you- just the right amount of on-theme while still maintaining an element of fun.

     If you answered mostlyD’s, your gift is the Happy Heart Chocolate Covered Pretzel!

     Alright, maybe your tastes are a LITTLE on the more expensive, frivolous side… but so what! You’re bursting with joy and fervour for life. Not to mention the nuance of it all- you’re sweet as candy, but you’ve got a salty side too! You’re a complex individual who demands a complex gift, making the Happy Heart Chocolate Covered Pretzel (say that five times fast…) perfect for you.

     If you answered mostly E’s, your gift is the Black Licorice Hearts!

     Insert moody quote from a Neovian poem here. You might be a little on the dramatic side, but what would life be without some theatrics? A traditional Valentine’s Day celebration just isn’t for you. Much too bright, much too colorful, much too cheesy. You probably prefer something just as emotional, but much more soul-stirring. Maybe you can enjoy this snack in a graveyard?

      And… that’s it! Hopefully, this quiz has helped lead you in the direction of the perfect gift this Valentine’s Day. If it didn’t, maybe take the quiz again? Second time’s the charm! Or third. Or fourth. Alright, maybe move on and see what comics are in this issue, eh? Until next time, dear readers!
