Ok, here's a stupid question: are you "supposed" to do gifts for Valentine's day??

It's my first real Valentine's day with the BF and I don't know if I'm supposed to get him a gift or not.

Totally depends on the couple. Some couples I know expect gifts and would feel weird without getting/giving gifts on Valentine's Day. My husband and I hate doing the gift thing, so we never have.

I'd say going out to a nice dinner or other activity (like a play or something) would be a good compromise between gift and no gift.

I would ask what he's doing or expecting so you can be prepared and do something similar. A card and small inexpensive gift (especially edible) is never a bad idea.

Heck, my mom always gave me gifts for Valentines and now I send her flowers (DH thinks it's weird but that's how we roll, it doesn't have to be about romantic love, celebrating any kind of love is great IMO).

My parents still give me valentines day gifts, usually 5 dollars, because I don't like chocolate.



I will be watching the notebook and other lovey movies (perhaps broke back mountain?) and eating jelly beans with my dog!! I think I will also eat an entire gluten free pizza. Valentines day = candy lovey movie day. Works for me, I can get behind this brand of commercialism! :D
I love the notebook. I haven't seen the whole movie yet, I saw it on TV, but I only saw the last part of the movie. I can't seem to find the movie anywhere.

It's our last valentines day before we become parents, so I want to go live the high life in a fancy schmancy restaurant, all dressed up, flowers and romance and the whole shebang. I very explicitly told him this. I may have forwarded him a groupon from shari's berries for chocolate covered strawberries.

Next year we can go to applebees or order pizza :D

I am very, very fortunate to have a husband who will dress up and romance me, 'cause it's important to me.

Same thing we do everynight.... Try to take over the WORLD.

Lol out hang out together on the couch and watch a good show
Or movie and just hold hands and randomly gaze over at each other and tell a stupid joke lol. We don't really do the valentines day celebration. We would rater take the moneyfor gifts or dinner and stick it in the Disney tin. Last thing we need in our little house is more STUFF lol. Plus, we are homebodies so even if we go out we'll be thinking about getting home into our comfy clothes to just be together on the couch lol

Intimate times... Well... That's up to Brians recovery lol that may just not be possible yet.

Making dinner together, watching movie together, sex.

That's several times a week with us anyway though. V-Day isn't really a holiday either of us care to celebrate. :p
This... plus some drinking lol

We will do our normal routine..

TV / Drinking / Sex / Sleep lol

We usually go to a nice Thai place here, so we'll probably do that. I believe we both work this year, so our usual zoo trip is out, but I might see if Ryan wants to go on Sunday instead.

We dont' really do Valentine's Day, but he's gone ever year, for the most part, (he coaches a high school sport and they usually have a tournament that weekend). So Clive and I will be hanging out.

Nothing on Vday itself as I have a flyball team holiday party (yes, very belated) on the 14th, but the 7th we're going out for dinner at a local, more upscale but not uber fancy, restaurant we love.

Ahahahaha. That's awesome.

Does he ask "when is it?" when you ask what he wants to dress up as for Halloween too?

We'll go to dinner and I'm getting him a shot glass filled with tiny candies and a chocolate rose :) Just simple - but I broke his only shot glass not too long ago, so alas, I figured this would be a cute chance to fix that.

Well, I have decided I'm going to send Michael a box filled with balloons that will float up when he opens it, a pink fuzzy teddy bear that plays music when you squeeze it, and I'm ordering him a singing tellagram.

Okay, so not really. But it was funny to see his face while I explained my plans in detail to him in front of his fellow sailors. Mwahahaha. :D

Josh is working all week, and is moving into a new apartment that weekend and I train classes on Saturday morning back here (oh the joys of this LDR crap), so we were thinking either next weekend we will do something, or later in the week after he moves.

I feel bad for not being there for the move, but really, I'm better at the whole arranging and putting away stuff than I am with carrying dressers. :lol-sign:
