    If she isn't the typical girl then may be she isn't into the Valentines malarky.

    A watch then, everyone should have at least 2/3 for different occasions.
    ICE watches are cute on girls. Kinda funky so i'd say she would like them.

    I don't think people should fall into the whole hype of valentine's day but I do think telling that special someone that you are glad they are still part of your life is cool. Small bunch of flowers and box of chocolates.
    But I have booked the day off without telling her and will be cleaning the place top to bottom, fire lit when she comes home and a meal ready.
    Think she would appreciate that.

    Japyers that's harsh, my OH decided this year he was going to make an effort to be a better partner (dunno why) so tonight he surprised me with a super gift even after I'd said no to going out, doing gifts etc etc.

    Now that's turned into "lets have a gorgeous night out Sat" and I've to get him something, I don't want to not reciprocate.

    So far on my list are:

    Stuff his doctor advised him to get today to help him get healthier
    Refills for his ecigs
    Getting his 60 odd unironed shirts ironed by an ironing service
    A portable fireplace (he suffers from the cold and loves these)
    Underwear
    Chocolates (he is a chocolate addict)
    Flowers (more for me than him, to brighten up the house)
    A trip out for a coffee together
    Dinner at home from our favourite Italian

    I'm just back from a three week long business trip so clothes are out as I brought some back as his present for that :)

    He did it on the hoof last year and I had nothing to give and felt bad, so going to spoil him this year. I'm not big into my birthday, and Christmas is taken over with his kids, so he likes using Valentines as an excuse to be affectionate.

    We've never done the flowers things though!

    He did that for Christmas as part of a larger gift, and he once bought me a drill as an anniversary present :)

    He minds our cars so it's up to him to make sure oil/water etc are up to date

    Best Valentines day present is to not buy into the sheep mentality of it.

    I see people on Facebook posting "Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!", as if it's like Christmas or their birthday. Absolute boll*x... Go way and sh*te...
