Write the words "I love you" in big letters on a piece of paper. Attach this paper to a broom handle. Call it your "love stick" and proceed to beat her with it. She'll never forget you.

buy one of those ridiculously big 7 foot teddy bears, hollow it out and climb inside. When she comes home, chase her around the room in the bear suit with a box of chocs and some flowers. She wouldnt forget that in a hurry either.

do nothing
she won't forget that either...

Bloody furries.

Do you think it might work if instead of chocolates and flowers he bore a steak knife and fire axe?

I got a spongebob DVD for valentines last year; strange as it sounds, the best present I've gotten on the said day....Different strokes for different folks. However I'm sure this gift is, without doubt, strongly advised against for your significant other this Valentines.

Lets make this thread into something constructive, rather then another waste of space that's been done x amount of times before? What was the worst/best/strangest Valentines present you ever got? These wacky sort of stories are what keeps me going during a Friday afternoon in the office, so don't hold back folks. :cool:

@Beruthiel - I've made that mistake before. I made up for it up but funnily enough, despite the faded memories of the other party and willingness to forgive, it still makes me feel super guilty every time I think about it....definately NOT recommended....ever....not just for valentines! Women are a different species altogether when it comes to important events being forgotten! :eek:

Something handmade is always special.. a sandwich maybe. (While you're at it I wouldn't say no to a ham&cheese)

Bring her off somewhere etc. It has to come from you to be special.

Can there not be a sticky that changes seasonally for all this stuff?? :v:

This is my first year in a relationship for valentines and I would be very happy to get a nice bunch of flowers or a nice box of chocolates to be honest. But maybe I'm easily pleased. I've already told him that I'm cooking dinner for him that night and I might get him something small as well...

Yes, doing it solely in bed is very old fashioned.

I'm sorry isn't this my thread?

Someone else's bed could be a bit exciting...

You don't own a conversation just because you started it. There are a few forums aimed at helping people with problems where moderators will work to keep the focus helpful, but if you're going to ask "any ideas" you'll have to let people run with it. (This is the flip-side to why this thread was moved from PI, which is very much aimed at "I have a problem with X" rather than "what's a good idea for X".) That's how people have ideas in the first place.

Anyway, if you can't think of anything more original, take her to a decent restaurant.

That is so boring and cliched! I'm sure she'll have mentioned something she'd like, even if only in passing. Like a DVD, clothing etc? I got my boyfriendish type figure an "I pwn noobs" t shirt from purepwnage.com and I'll get him something else but I won't say what in case he reads it (still not 100% decided on what to get him either). His tshirt arrived real early already so I can say that no probs.

Getting something which required thought rather than something that every shop has marked as a Valentine's gift is so much sweeter. Or you could make a compilation DVD of all her favourite episodes/movies?

It depends on the guy. if he isn't usually the type that might offer romantic gestures during the year, then yes - you are right. they lack imagination and feel obligated to do it.[/QUOTE]

It's always nice when a guy gets you flowers.

Yeah thats true its the thought that counts:D

Sarky

No it's not. It's the material possessions and resulting obligatory sexual favours. Whoever it was that called it "Steak and Blowjob day" was a genius.

ok no its not

So yeah flowers are good but its not going to be very special. Flowers are a nice way to get the girl in a good mood on valentine's day -like a taster for a nice evening.
making the day special isnt about how much you spend or how grand the gesture is. Its just doing something that you would both enjoy together and that inevitably leads to great sex at the end of the night.
and yes a girl likes it when a guy shows a girl he's been paying attention so if your cooking dinner for example have her favourite music playing etc.....
what makes a valentine;s present special is making it personal to the reciever.

Auburn

Make her a personalised card, a cd of her favourite music maybe? Cook her favourite meal? Something with a personal touch means more than a generic gift like flowers

I never got the whole flowers and chocolate thing! I always feel a but weird getting them for a girl. (Prob why I have been single for nearly 2 years)

To me its really cheesy and looks like something out of an old hollywood movie!

But then if your stuck for ideas and rushing to the shops at the last minute (like most of us blokes)to get something then they would do.

It is great to get anything nice from someone you love/fancy like mad......

Flowers (the majority of girls love getting flowers....don't write them off!), chocs (watch those endorphines flow), cinema, dinner, steak or blow-job....all good.....actually, maybe she wouldn't appreciate the blow-job.....I think as long as you remember it is Valentine's Day and make an effort of some description, whether that be spending hrs hand-making a gift or picking up a bunch of flowers at the local petrol station en route - you are onto a winner!

I would probably get my other half nothing, he always says he doesnt believe in buying my love, more like he doesnt believe in spending the money.

The first time we dated on valentines day he sent me some flowers but i think that was to butter me up, since being with him for 8 years the novelty has worn off, now valentines day is only another day for me

Flower shops clean up on Valentines day with roses first you have to pre order them then they charge you to deliver them. They also charge around 10Euro per rose so a dozen red roses = 120Euro before they are delivered so 150Euro including delivery wow.

So I recommend 12 roses from LIDL for 20Euro for the bunch of 12, they sound like a nice bunch to imported from Holland probably on the same ship or plan as the Interflora ones. Then either pay a delivery guy to deliver them or drop them in yourself or spend the money you saved on a meal and give her the flowers also she would be chuffed then thinking not only are you spending 120Euro on her for flowers (she will know how much each stem costs or think she does hehe) and then you are spending more on a meal or she may even end up paying for the meal to say thanks hehe a win win situation.

So to answer your question Flowers would be nice for the first Valentine together a meal aswell if you really like her.

Oh god, i didnt think it was that big a deal, im ****ed

Tiriel

well.. ok so for a girl choccies, flowers, soft toys, a meal.. easily pleased really!

what about for a guy? is it important to get something!? I mean what do you get for a guy if you aren't together long.. but know that you will be spending the night together, meal etc.?
