Mollys_mum Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Lol! Has it come around again - so soon?! Mollies _dad also has a birthday a few days before so it is double trouble. We tend not to bother after all these years but if I happen to be inclined, I tend to opt for a decent bottle of port and/or a box of Thornton's chocolates.

Okay, rather than opt for a personal gift, why not suggest a meal out together (his choice of venue) and you pay? Seen me through the first few years.

Tams Teeko and Keeta Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 My OH is in luck. I hate the commercial crap of valentines day and don't require either a gift or a card! All I ask...is that I actually get to see him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqwidge Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 From mine and mike's first valentine's day until now (and probably every year) I have got him a pewter or padded heart which are inscribed with I Love You or something on. By this year he will have 9! And normally that's all he gets, but I have got him some canvases this year with a picture of us on our wedding day, one of Josh and another of us two recently. I don't think it ever needs to be much, just a little token of love and appreciation is all that's needed. Mike's birthday is a few days after it as well, so that's another reason I don't ever get anything big for v day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kara Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 My hubby and I have been together for almost 14yrs now, and when money got tight, we restricted buying things or going out. Even on years that we did have money to spend we had gotten into the habit of not doing anything. However, he tends to buy a Rose or two, put them in a vase and stash them some place weird in the house where I will find them when I get home from work....like in the bathroom, as its the first place I go when I get home, hang them on the gate, one year I did laundry in the morning and he knew I would go check and see if it got put in the dryer when I got home and the flowers were there. One time in the Fridge and once in my closet early in the morning. I myself do silly things like coupons....."crazy sex coupon" "morning sex coupon" "coupon for taking the garbage out", and sometimes I bring home an ice cream cake which is his favorite. Over all I really don't like Valentines Day, as it is so marketed now and Hallmark brings in the $$$! and why was I seeing all that V-day candy in the store right after xmas!

Winnie71 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 my ex and I used to always get something silly like he gave me a frozen burger one year and I got him a cabbage etc ...then we went sensible I gave him a tube of smarties and he got me some twiglets, they were just gestures I'm not really into all the hype, however my new chap is quite a soppy old sod and this will be our first one together so I am thinking of laying the ground rules early and hinting that he could come and do the washing up for me & that would be the best present .....if I have not poisoned him with pie & mash first....god I am a right old charmer!

Julie Fox Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 After 22 years together its usually something funny. The boxer shorts they bring out at this time of year or a devil key ring. -x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 He's got some 'lover ducks' which are basically just some fancy looking rubber ducks. We'll probably have a nice meal (i.e one I didn't cook and burn myself!) and some booze aswell. On the soppier side. I got him this paperweight thingy, that's filled with shiny hearts like a snowglobe and there's a slot at the bottom for a special photograph. Not sure what photo I'll put in there, one of us? or the kids? or the dogs? God knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
