I have always enjoyed Valentines Day with those close to me or in my life,
both platonic and romantic, so what things are exchanged are likely enjoyed
by both of us who are giving and receiving, the touch of warmth and sweetness
rock my boat~ and whatever feels nice #9

 

[BC Flash]

I use to request dinner out on Feb 15 or later - I hate crowds. Same as New Years eve dinner - a "rain cheque" for dinner mid January.

 

[jujube]

Getaway, dinner out (somewhere *I* want to go), chocolates....in that order.

 

[Bella]

A card would be nice and skip the rest except for chocolate. I prefer to prepare a nice cozy dinner at home for my sweetie and I to enjoy. Set the table, light the candles, lower the lights....

 

[OldFeller]

Well, we know who all the high maintenance people are.

4) stuffed animal - Pfffft... Spare me
5) jewelry - Rarely wear what I have
6) lingerie - Um, no thanks
7) gift card - Dont' need it, I buy what I want
8) wine - Got a wine rack full and barely drink anymore anyway

My rose bushes just now. DH planted them as a Valentine's Day surprise gift when I was out of town about 15 years ago.

They are the "traditional" gifts given to women - just to show how clueless some guys are.
