Valentine's Day Gifts

[roni]

No chocolate box this year.

Flowers? Probably, delivered to her office.

Is Victoria's Secret too much of a cliche?

What are you guys planning on doing?

Is the VS for you or for Kathy?

Why Mercy, thanks for asking. So very thoughtful of you.

I don't think they carry anything in extra-long, though.

I wasn't being snarky... I was serious. Whenever Steve buys me something like that, I always feel like they are more for him than me. But then I'm not much of a lingerie kind of girl....maybe Kathy is.

Gotcha

I have been known to buy for both reasons, but after 34 years of wedded bliss, I know what she is likely to wear, to enjoy, and/or to wear mostly for my pleasure. I have bought her some of each from time to time

Well you guys only have 4 years on Steve and I.

If you think she would like VS get her something nice you both can enjoy, and then maybe flowers or something just for her.

It is SO 'effin' cool that the whole world makes such a big deal about my B'day! Cripes, in Chicago they even had a massacre for it! PM me, I'll let you know where to send the presents!

[TAPPY]

I love a gift certificate to a spa for a pedicure or something like that.
Or a couples massage would be a treat you both could enjoy together !

My hubby wants a special grill plate for his green egg (grill) - but hey that works for me to !

I have always wanted a man to buy me perfume, something he liked (and no man ever has, but I never asked, either. I guess I think men should be able to read minds.). I also like flowers, lingerie, and Tappy's hit on the very best present of all to me: Spa days.

Of course, Valentine's Day doesn't mean much to me and I don't like the idea that a man has to be under that pressure, unless he's a man who never does nice things like that at other times.

I like the idea of having one day that everyone celebrates love in all its forms, even if I tend to celebrate it every day.

I used to have a Green egg! It was great! Then I broke it.

Valentines Day will be beer and chili dogs. Or beer and pepperoni. Or beer and something else. (Colleen will be on a cruise to Cabo with her mom and Grandma.) We will do Valentines when she gets home, all tanned and oily.

Honestly we feel like the day is kind of a cliche'. We are nice to each other all year. That should be a day off. Although our first kiss was Valentine's. It IS a good day for making your first move.

I may buy her tickets to see the St. Louis Cardinals at their new ballpark if they are playing during our May trip to St. Louis. Perfection would be if they were playing the Cubbies then

Edit: They are playing the Phillies at St. Louis. I am thinking the Sunday afternoon game, with a night at a downtown hotel thrown in. Kathy likes baseball.

I don't love VD, but I do love chocolate, wining and dining (preferably home cooked), lingerie, tickets to fun events (sports definitely included) and massages (also preferably home cooked). I think the idea of giving dead sex organs as a gift is priceless (though I guess they're technically on life support if you keep then in a vase w/water). In general- I think anything that shows you love and care about us is fantastic I assume the same goes for men

That sounds like a winner... I like baseball too!

We don't do anything major for Valentine's Day....usually just flowers for me, and we have a little nicer dinner than usual or something.

This year we will be at an AI in the Mayan for ten days, so that is gift enough. We are there with a big group of our friends for dinner, although maybe we will luck out and get into an a la carte for the 14th- we only arrive the 13th and I am betting they are all full up....the buffet will likely have some sort of theme night, I imagine.
