So...what are you giving/getting for Valentine's Day?

[flvegan]

Also, if you don't have an SO or are otherwise boycotting the whole idea, chime in as well.

Surely, someone has invented a sort of Festivus for Valentine's Day. A St. Bitter's Day, or something.

[lizziegrace]

[marlakay]

12. Working that night

going to sound unromantic but I told my husband not to get me anything, to save the money for trip to Seattle next weekend. Going to the home show. We live about 3 hrs from there.

[Shine]

13. I haven't figured it out yet.

probably a nice card.

I have no idea if I'll get anything from the hubby.


probably a nice card. :D

[AlCzervik]

14. i got my daughter this little stuffed hippo wearing a tutu

because thats what she sounds like stomping all over the house, she's about 120 pounds and almost 5'6 but she sounds like a stampeding heard of something big. My husband is away usual so he won't be home and it's his birthday today as well.

[ZombieNixon]

18. I'm getting something, apparently.

I don't know what it is. :) I feel like I should give something, though I don't know what and I'm running out of time. :(

[azmouse]

19. I'm boycotting this Hallmark holiday.

Just another day in the azmouse house.

[KenHodson]

27. Don't try this at home, kids.

While the idea "looks good on paper", it is not.

[azmouse]

28. Mr azmouse and I are in agreement with not celebrating.

I refuse to make birthdays, anniversaries, Xmas or 'Hallmark' holidays a test of his love for me.

[KenHodson]

41. But you apparently aren't amateurs...

It is truely bad advice for beginners.

[Richard Steele]

21. I'm making sweetie some homemade chocolate pudding.

Topped with real whipped cream, and sprinkled
with Williams-Sonoma peppermint-infused chocolate shavings.

Y'all keep that info to yourselves- it's a SURPRISE.

[William Bloode]

23. Same here.

Boycott it myself. i don't need a special day to show how much i appreciate, and adore my ladies. I buy them gifts (cards, flowers) at least once a month if not more often. They won't miss it on the 14th.

[LostinVA]

29. It's a surprise -- she'll get it tomorrow afternoon

[LeftyMom]

30. Did T***'s F********* get delivered?

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

32. No, she's getting some filets from Omaha Steaks

DAMN! The surprise is ruined!

[LeftyMom]

33. T*** is a she?

:wtf:

The OP says he's enrolled me in the Meat of the Month Club. :eyes:

[LostinVA]

34. WTF are you talking about?

Does tofu cause menatl instability, or is that lentils?

[LeftyMom]

35. I was asking about the fleshlight.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

40. Worst. Google. Ever.

Thanks for that.

[LeftyMom]

42. /me points, laughs

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. I think you two were thinking about different people with T**** names.

:rofl:

You were thinking about Fleshlight boy and she was thinking about the "ex."

[LostinVA]

56. I was ! It freaked me the hell out

[idgiehkt]

31. I'm single

But it is a great excuse to eat chocolate buttercreams, so I will probably indulge in a few.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Some will find this lame but...

Ever since our youngest was a toddler, I've taken us on a "mini vacation" right in our home. I pick a geographical location, look it up on the internets and the kids and I decorate the living room/dining room. We read about the foods and the customs and try to recreate. And everyone gets a little bit of candy on their plate. MrG and I don't really give each other anything.

[flvegan]

37. That's pretty cool.

Where are you folks "going" this year?

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. We're going to Germany!

I don't know why we didnt' think of it before. :hi:

[Beaverhausen]

51. That is adorable

what a sweet idea! I bet the kids love it.

:loveya:

[terrya]

38. I can't say.

He's a DUer. :-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. getting: Ipod

Giving: lap dance & lisa hasnt decided on her gift yet.

[Strawman]

43. I hope I get this

http://www.whitecastle.com/ValentinesDay/#DET

I'm giving Mrs. S a pajamagram and taking her to lunch.

[Nicole]

44. I'm giving a day at the spa.

I'm also getting a day at the spa. I'm my own valentine. Pathetic but true.

[youthere]

45. I can't tell you without getting this thread locked...

Let's just say that MrYouthere will be pleased...very very pleased. Several times if I haven't lost my touch!:evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

48. Getting: Something Gaelic and something that would get this thread locked.

Giving: Oddly enough, basically the same thing.

[belladonna]

49. We agreed not to do much this year

I'm just not big on flowers or candy and all the usual stuff that goes along with Valentine's Day. We might go out to eat or something, but I honestly don't even care much about that :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

50. Car seat covers. How romantic. Not. But last year I did great

Last year I spent weeks putting together this great box of Tiki Drink stuff- a recipe book, tiki mugs, tiki swizzle sticks, various rums, fruit juices, and other tiki stuff. It really turned out cute. My honey loved it (he is into Tiki stuff)

This year I wasn't feeling that creative and the day snuck up on me. Since we usually ride in my car I hadn't noticed how bad his seats are in his car.

I'm hoping a nice dinner out at a fav romantic place will happen sometime this week.

[deepthought42]

52. Let's see...I'm buying Starbucks coffee

pour moi. Because it's a wednesday, and I will have to go to work. And breakfast, lunch, maybe more coffee in the afternoon. That's about it.

[TOhioLiberal]

53. Not a danged thing...

...not a matter of a boycott, lack of interest. x(

[skygazer]

54. We usually don't do much of anything

besides say "Happy Valentine's Day" - we're disgustingly lovey-dovey 24/7 as it is. But this year, we're going camping for a week starting Thursday so we've decided to call it a Valentine's Day gift to ourselves.

[Dukkha]

55. I got and gave the same thing

the flu :-(

I'm going to be the strong one and buck it up and go to work and let her rest at home.

[WhollyHeretic]

57. I usually prefer spontaneous forms of giving

but for several reasons I was inspired to some extravagance this year

[QMPMom]

58. My husband and I agreed to not spend the money on

"stuff" this year. We decided that when we can afford it, that we want to take the kids to a nice restaurant. And we'll include the girl my son says he is *not* going with but spends every spare minute on the phone with and stays over at her house on the weekends sometimes. :7

[crim son]

59. I like St. Bitter's Day so much I'm scheduling it for next year.

Party at my my (own, owned, just mine, it's going to be great) house 2/14/2008. But BYOB because I'm going to be so poor I can only afford a sixpack of Schlitz. :party:

[u4ic]

60. Nothing...

:-(
