What are you getting her(him/it) for valentines day?

Right so the missus said she doesn't want much for valentines day, which really says, GET ON THAT! What are you going to surprise your significant other with this year...

Pancakes

Going to get my lady a new pair of Docs

Dropping not so subtle hints about presents was the best thing myself and the missus ever agreed on.

Well, the second best thing.

Im getting him some coconut oil hand cream and some triple ply kleenex.

He got me a golf glove and google images.

I'm waiting for the cheap post-valentines day chocolate. Who's crying in the corner now!

A new car

I am getting myself a reservation in a nice hotel in the county of my choice for the end of the month. I am also getting myself some new Chanel mascara and foundation. Then I will probably get myself some drinks.

I am the luckiest woman in the world to have met me. I fall in love a little bit more everyday.

I keep asking my husband, and he just says, "a nice thick steak like the ones you used to make when we lived in Texas". Right on, Irish dude. We are foodies; last year he bought me a Le Creuset casserole and I bought him a cast-iron grill pan. This year he's in chef training and we don't have a lot of money, but I might buy him a decent ceramic knife steel to go with his school kit. He'd do the flowers thing, but we have a six-month-old kitten in the house at the moment. We'll figure it out.

Got her a aerial photo put on to canvas of where we got engaged.

Steak and a BJ

hairyslug · 10-02-2016 07:20AM

Chocolate strawberries, its what I made for her on the morning of our 1St Valentine's Day living together.

But I like the idea of the aerial photo on canvas

Cee-Jay-Cee · 10-02-2016 10:43AM

She's getting nothing after yesterdays debacle. She asked me to bring home something for the pancakes so I bought her a push-up bra.

So ungrateful.

Getting him nothing. He has me. Everything else would just be underwhelming after that. Also because it's a shyte holiday and March the 14th is much more fun and celebrated

You know her better than any us of course, but when I say I don't want anything for Valentines I genuinely do mean it.

I don't like how much more everything costs and the pressure it brings to get the biggest bouquet, or the fanciest hotel. The fact that restaurants have "set menus" that are often lower quality and higher prices. I'd much rather go to my favourite restaurant on another day, or have a bunch of daisies just because.

I'd much prefer steak and BJ day. What's not to like (also something that is appreciate any day of the week

)

I know, I know, I'm a big bah humbug :P

A lovely pearl necklace

Menas · 10-02-2016 11:14AM

I will just treat her to a good home made meal, an outrageously bad for you dessert and Dirty Dancing (the movie, not me).

10-02-2016 11:18AM

Nothing at all. And I will receive the same

We tend to be spontaneous with our gifts and displays of romance. Which means generally we avoid set dates on the calendar like Valentines, Birthdays, Christmas - or generally anything Hallmark has a vested interest in really.

Whitewinged · 10-02-2016 12:42PM

Valentines day is also the day we had our first date so we will be together 12 years this year. It is also the date that we got engaged, 3 years after we met but tbh we don't ever really do anything major. It's on a Sunday this year so I'm hoping that he will take the kids and give me a lie on, breakfast in bed maybe and then later I will cook a nice dinner for us both.

I got himself a giant Toblerone, a bottle of fizzy bubbly and hell get lucky that night - if he's good.
What he's getting me, I don't know but I've warned him that if I don't get to see the Deadpool film at some point, he'll be moving back in with his mammy.

(or you know, I'll be going by myself - oh actually, I want that for valentines- Deadpool movie and a child free afternoon with possible alcohol involved - yes!)
