Thread: Valentine's Day is coming...

and I am having a block as to what to get the wife. I have done the "day at the spa thing" and even personalized car plates in the past. What are you guys planning to do?

Every year, I do the same thing, and somehow she seems to like it (has said so very explicity), and does not WANT any present.
I come home early from work (this year it won't matter), and cook a multi-course meal that we have not had before. I usually grab some flowers from the market while I am there (wholefoods), no roses..she doesn't like 'em (I'm lucky!). Then we open a few bottles of wine and enjoy.
This will be our first with the baby, so we'll wait until after she's in bed, I guess.

I don't do valentine's day, it's my birthday and i reserve the right to not do anything for anyone on my birthday especially since that's my favorite grandparent's anniversary as well.

Me and the lady switch off every year cooking full course meals for a candle lit dinner. All i gotta do this year is get her some lily's.

I rarely do flowers. But this year Roses it is.

I will get her some good chocolates and then because she is on I diet I will eat them for her.

I'm getting out cheap, I gotta work that weekend. I did get her a cute card, and I'll buy her some little jewel, maybe a charm to put on her vintage charm bracelet.

Here's the card I got her: Greeting Cards . I suggest you gents order one if it's the least you do. Just a little effort goes a long way.

Besides the obligatory flowers, SWMBO has expressed interest in a locket, so I'll be sneaking off to the antique store or google to find one. I get leeway though because it's my birthday too.

Some roses, jewelry, and a nice leather holster for her CCW.

Nothing. This is the most created, fake, hallmark holiday there is. I think you should not have a day set aside to treat your wife/girlfriend special, when you should be treating her that way every day. My wife and I were going to stay home, have a nice Italian meal, and play board games, but now a friend volunteered to baby sit, so we are going out and then to a movie. It will be a nice date, but not because it is valentines day.
