i would really like to spend the ENTIRE day at home with my other half. i'm not even kidding.
Not a damn thing.
Valentines day to me is a joke, for this one day you spoil and treat your partner, buy them the most expensive shit and for what?
Can't they get spoiled everyday?
And why does it have to be men that has to pull out all the stops to make their ladies feel honored and special. Ladies?
Sub-question: Do women really want flowers and candy? All you have to do is go out and buy them, anyone can do that?
Would you want something more personal? Or something handmade for you, or done for you?
What I want more than anything is for my husband to get in from work before 8pm so that we have chance to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal, a bottle of red wine and a good long chat before falling into bed tipsy and happy.
Flowers and chocolates are nice. Having said that, he always goes mad and buys fancy pants chocolates. The last ones cost £26 for a box of 8 which made me feel really guilty when I found out. As for flowers, calla lilies are my favourite but are poisonous to cats. My two girls are nosey, stubborn (typical cats then) and will chew and plant life that gets brought inside. So, to prevent their untimely demise, we don't buy lilies. A couple of times he's bought expensive bouquets (£80+) and they're pretty but not what I really want. I've told him to buy me petrol station or supermarket flowers if he has to buy them, but he thinks it's a trap. I'd rather he saved the £100 and put it to better use- savings, holiday fund, towards an eternity ring.
As for something personal or handmade, that's a better solution. I get treat like a princess all year round to be honest, I neither want nor need for anything other than him. He works too hard to afford our comfortable lifestyle and so all I want is for him to come home to me, early enough that I can spoil him. If not, it's not the end of the world because he gets treat like my King all year too!
I think Valentines day is a sweet holiday actually. I don't need anything, just time spent together is enough for me. Knowing how much I mean to him is honestly the best.
I do love flowers, and it's definitely nice to get them but I'd rather him handpick wild flowers in June then a huge expensive rose bouquet on valentine's day.
A date in, or date out would be nice.
My wife and I will get each other cards. We may both make a nice dinner at home, as the restaurants are packed out the doors on Valentines Day. Or we might go somewhere very Un-Valentines-Day-like to eat, like The Varsity or out for some real down home country barbecue (not that wimpy city barbecue).
I want to meet my virutal LDR gf for the first time....and do everything in my power to give her the most pleasurable valentine's day ever!
I like what we always do...We give each other cards, he makes reservations, and I get to enjoy a meal I didn't cook! Oh, he gives me a big valentine's day balloon. I can't help it I love balloon's.
