Valentine's Day '08: So what did you get her?
Alright boyz, it's Valentine's Day '08 (or will be in a few mins). What did you get the missus? Me, I'm single so I don't have to worry about it.

+1 Well, I don't think it's stupid and pointless, but we don't do presents. I'm taking the evening off, she's making dinner, and we'll hang out and go to bed early. The best kind of Valentine's Day as far as I'm concerned.

Flowers and cards (and dinner on Sunday). We're saving for a house so no big gifts...

Anal.
To me anal actually is a gold dipped rose. Calling it anal just sounds cooler to me. We don't really do anything for these crap holidays, but I figured what the hell this time. I'm in a good mood

I think Valentines Day is just another over-marketed cash cow. But I'm also too smart to not organise anything with my gf. We're going to dinner at a nice Japanese place, $110 each for a 7 course meal (not incl. drinks). We also bought a big box of chocolates for each other last night.

The last two years I've gotten small items for some of my closer girl friends, but I'm scratching the gesture this year, they are all still close friends and I'm not any closer to banging them.

Flowers.
And then when I come home from work I'm going to bang the ever living crap out of her. And by bang the ever living crap out of her I mean cook dinner, clean up and watch the baby for her.

Nothing. I think one of my lady friends is planning on making dinner but I am not sure where she is going to cook considering my roommate is planning to propose to his girlfriend. Tonight should be fun...

Well I am getting my girlfriend flowers and dinner. And outside of the married folk I think the rest of you guys are full of shit and just like to hear yourselves talk on a message board.
Is it a BS holiday? Of course. But I have yet to meet an unmarried woman (and I also met very few married women) who don't think Valentine's Day is a big deal. Do you guys also refuse to get your moms anything on Mother's Day? That holiday has zero historical significance. Last edited by panerd : 02-14-2008 at 08:08 AM. |

I am single and I think its a bullshit holiday. It has no meaning to me whats so ever, mother's day is different because thats my mama and I'll be damn if you say my mama has no significance. Seriously though it is a BS holiday created just to make guys spend money for the same sex they have gotten before... wait was that too much? Too blunt for this audience? LOL.

Yes it is a BS holiday. I wish they would market the Steak and BJ day more.
In any event, of course my wife goes with the "oh you don't have to get me anything..." statement which in womans talk means "you better get me something". I had ordered 2 dozen roses and a crystal vase for her and made reservations at a really nice italian restaurant downtown on Saturday Night. Sent her an e-card this morning since I always forget up until the actual day that I need to get a card most likely because I always put it off.

I'm so tired of cynicism. It's just as lazy as blind adherence to tradition. It just makes people feel cooler and more intelligent.
Anyway, I understand that it's a commercial holiday (what holiday isn't?), but it's still a fun excuse to get a babysitter, go out to eat, and have some fun. Sure, we do that other times as well, but Valentine's Day just seems more.....festive. I still remember how fun it was in school getting all of those Scooby Doo, Smurfs, Etc., postage-style Valentine cards. And then in high school, always having the whole rose-sending thing. That one was always a little nerve-wracking, but it was fun too. |

I think that elementary school tradition should be carried on. I remember taping up my brown paper bag on the chalkboard and the class would put their cards in every ones bag and then you would spend some time opening them up later on in the day.
I think I am going to try and revive that with my wife. Tape up two bags on the mantle and put our names on it and put a card her bag. Then throw a tantrum when there is no card in my bag and sulk the rest of the evening calling her snot face.

My girlfriend buys ME stuff on Valentine's Day, so I have pretty much no excuse not to get her something.
She got a new digital camera to replace the one she lost in Vegas, and we'll go out to dinner...somewhere. |

By the way.
Has anyone else been looked at like you're utter scum when you say you're not buying your mother anything for Valentine's Day? I swear to god, there are some people at my office (those left - heh), who think I'm just some huge asshole for not getting my mother anything. One, she has Mother's Day, Two, she's married. Not to me. My dad doesn't get my mom anything for mother's day (spouses, in my book, are off the hook for mother/father's day once their children are supporting themselves), and I'm not on the hook for Valentine's Day. |

I got my g/f some Amethyst earrings in white 14k gold. She is a TCU grad and loves purple. I'm also taking her to Ama Lur which is a spanish cousine joint that is supposed to be pretty romantic. I think I'm getting something nice, because I asked her about a fredericks bag on her coffee table and she blushed and told me not to look in it :P

Last few gifts for my wife have been jewelry so I went a different direction: She likes games as well, so I got her a Nintendo DS Lite (thanks to the help of a FOFC member who found one and shipped it to me - I'm not sure if they wish to remain anonymous.) Also, got her a few games for it. Also, I'm brining home a dozen roses. This is the 10th anniversary of when I proposed. So after I get home from work, I'm cooking the same dinner that I cooked that night, Chicken Parm with Spaghetti. Also, will do the same thing - candlelight dinner and then some romance afterwards.

I haven't gotten my wife flowers in years.... so I got her 18 long-stem roses. I also got my mother roses. Usually I don't even send her a card, but I figured it'd be a nice surprise. I generally agree that VD is a racket. Not as bad as Sweetest Day, though.
Historically, it usually worked out that I wasn't dating anyone and was alone on Valentine's Day, so it is definitely not one of my favorite "holidays".
