It's finally time for the most controversial time of the year: Valentine's Day

You either love everything it stands for or everything about it. Yet, I think we can all agree that the one thing we all HATE about Valentine's Day is the process of shopping for a boyfriend.

It seems like no matter how much you think you nailed it, they always end up faking a smile and letting it collect dust on his dresser. If you're not this girlfriend and wow him every time, great, fantastic, here I am envying you with every bone in my body.

But if you're not, I took some advice from some experts on what to not get and what to actually get.

Subject: Connor
Age: 22
Occupation: student / boyfriend / boy
Interests: Bikes, flannels, the outdoors, dinosaurs, and annoying me

Subject: Jake
Age: 21
Occupation: Student / Boy / Tinder Expert
Interests: Bikes, Games of Thrones, Mike Stud, and Local bars

1. YES: His favorite six-pack

Connor: If you handed this I immediately think "HOLY S*&% you get me", it's absolutely something you can't go wrong with.

Jake: If I was handed this, I would be like "wow, this girl really knows me". I think it shows you get us and you know what you're doing.

NOT: Assorted Chocolate

Connor: Chocolate hurts my teeth, I know a lot of guys don't like chocolate so just steer clear of it. It's more of a girl topic

Jake: No, they're fattening. #GAINS

2. YES: A Yeti

Connor: I could use it literally every day and a lot of people probably have this on their lists. Guys like practicality.

Jake: I would love to get a yeti, I would think about her every time I had my coffee.

NOT: A card

Connor: I hate cards, I'm sorry. They take up space, I'm never going to use it again. No cards.

Jake: I don't want a card, they're great fire starters and that's about it.

3. YES: Restaurant gift card

Connor: It's like you paying for the date, no guy can say no to that. Get it to your favorite place to go together.

Jake: Everyone likes food, great gift. Now I'm hungry.

NO: Pets

Connor: Just don't do it, it's just another chore to do every day.

Jake: I can't afford a pet, I'm a college student.

4. YES: Great Clips gift card

Connor: Yes, absolutely yes. Do you know how amazing this would be?

Jake: I always need a haircut, this would work.

NO: A watch

Connor: It's too expensive, I probably wouldn't get you something that nice so I would feel bad

Jake: I like the thought but I see this as a Christmas or Birthday present, nice but too much for Valentine's Day

5. Body Lotions/ shower gel/ Cologne

Connor: I would finally stop stealing my roommates' stuff, and smell good.

Jake: I'd prefer just cologne because I buy my own soup. Don't show up with a box of Irish Spring with a bow on it, but cologne is good.

NO: Jewelry

Connor: Please don't get me a ring, or anything like that. Just don't.

Jake: Ew.

6. YES: Basket of snacks

Connor: Aw get me a big bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. It's a chill gift I know I'm going to use.

Jake: Hell yeah, I love snacks. Get me all my favorite snacks.

NO: A gift

Jake: Honestly, I would just rather get you something. I don't need anything and you guys appreciate it more.

Connor: I really wouldn't care if you got me something, the day is about us not we get each other.

Connor: also please don't get me tide pods...I really don't want that.
