My snarking is a medical condition.
No. I don't give them to my husband either. If I see a heart shaped chocolate in the shop I might buy one for my daughter because she likes hearts. I am going to give her money for the prefects cupcake stall tomorrow, but I would give her money for a cupcake stall if they were zombie themed cupcakes too.

I intend on buying DD a box of chocolates so we can sit together and eat them. I am a single mum so I won't be getting anything. I wouldn't buy her a card though

Nope. Wouldn't occur to me, and I find it a little weird that anyone would.

I kind of picture a mum giving her 12 year old son a card and him going, "ew mum, seriously?"
