Valentine's Day Gifts
 
What are you getting your special lady friends for Valentine's day?

I suck at ideas, so I might just get this chick a bear and a rose.

Also, where did our influx of women at FOFC vanish to? Like Ickey Woods, their careers were short lived, but glorious.

JeeberD 02-08-2005 01:09 PM

She's not getting a gift, really, just some cards and a fabulous, extremely expensive night out on the town...

hhiipp 02-08-2005 01:10 PM

Don't do it Shorty, once you start buying Valentines gifts you can never stop or you'll never hear the end of it.

rkmsuf 02-08-2005 01:13 PM

You have to run that sh*t short dog. Tell her you better get a V-Day present or she's to the curb.

sportsfan13 02-08-2005 01:14 PM

Hey! The girls are still here!! well, atleast I still am, from time to time. My BF (CleBrownsfan) is taking me out to a great restaurant and that's all I really want for V-day. I like flowers...those are always nice. But a nice romantic dinner for two is always an acceptable gift on Valentine's day. It's a nice time to catch up with each other!

Franklinnoble 02-08-2005 01:24 PM

I'm getting Mrs. Franklinnoble a Pajamagram. (http://www.pajamagram.com)

I'm selfish like that.

A ticket to the Beanpot

Karlifornia 02-08-2005 02:36 PM

I was thinking of taking m'lady out to 2-for-1's night at SexxBooth: Adult Video Viewing Center

Suicane75 02-08-2005 02:40 PM

Get her some bubble bath, some scented oils, some candles and give her a bath, make her dinner, some champagne and a couple of glasses and her favorite movie on DVD even if it's something like Sleepless In Seattle, then sit back and reap the rewards. And hey man, picsplskthx.

condors 02-08-2005 02:43 PM

i really HATE valentines day

what do you want?
nothing, whatever, anything from you, etc

1 dozen roses...
gee you were creative this year

one of those design your bear things at the mall....
cute but she didn't like it as much as i thought she would

music box in the shape of a book that says love and has part of our wedding vowels in it....(i thought for sure this was a home run)
thanks honey and quickley buried in some chest or box completly out of sight

I got no ideas for this year

i think i will just make her a candle light dinner

I'm right there with you. I get the same responses both before and after the gift giving process. Also I always get the infamous, "you should know what I want."

Sigh.

In any case, I'm getting her a diamond pendant this year. Also, since she has to work on Valentine's day (being a chef sucks this day of the year) I'm going to surprise her with taking her out to a nice restaurant on Sunday and getting her flowers at that time.

KevinNU7 02-08-2005 02:49 PM

condors that last one was good. If she didn't like it than she probably won't like anything.

Actually should be a great game, NU has a great student section and solid team. Should be a good game!


I'll probably be taking my lady out on the town in Boston this weekend.

KevinNU7 02-08-2005 03:09 PM

I fully expect to lose but I can't miss a championship game that they are in. Valentines Day is pointless, and fortuently for me she agrees so we never do anything.

Did you go last night? Must have been some game. Donato's doing great things for the Crimson, but we can't get over the Beanpot 1st round hump.

Back to the topic at hand, I think I'm going with a spa day gift certificate this year.

I pray that Harvard destroys BC next Monday in the Consolation game.


Just made reservations for a nice dinner at the Prudential Center and waiting for some tix to Blue Man Group.

lytic 02-08-2005 04:25 PM

I was thinking of getting an MP3 player and putting songs she likes on it...

2 pronged victory... I don't have to listen to that crap anymore and it shows I care all at once.

oykib 02-08-2005 07:35 PM

Damn, I'm glad to be in Japan.

Girls back home are bitches.

WTF is that you should know what I want shit. I can't believe I ever used to cater to anyone's ridiculous whims like that.

And Condors' post takes the cake. I don't want to impugn the character of your lady fair. Maybe she's just out of sorts on Valentine's Day.

So, I won't say that she's a bitch. But she certainly plays one on TV.

"Gee, you were creative this year."?!?! That' a fuckin' slap in the face. She'd be getting a bouqet of Broccoli and Cauliflower from me the next year. How's that for creative?

jbmagic 02-08-2005 08:02 PM

ok here the secret


you buy a gift that you like a lot. than give it to her for Valentine's day.

this way you know you be using it too. :)

DaddyTorgo 02-08-2005 08:03 PM

hmmmn, what should I get for my right hand for Valentine's Day?

tell ya one thing...it's a hell of a lot easier to shop for then any girl. Oh yeah, and it doesn't give me any lip, or any excuses about "not being in the mood."

Poli 02-08-2005 08:07 PM

It's my anniversary as well. Her birthday was yesterday, so I have the benefit of combining the dates. Well, so far anyway. :)

I'm actually paying for her to have the lasik eye surgery. She's mentioned it a few times in the past. Working at GNC has helped me stash cash away that she can't track.

She doesn't know yet. :)

LoneStarGirl 02-08-2005 09:36 PM

Wow you guys are actually getting your girls something for valentines day?? You really spoil them. Since GE and I go to schools that are 45 minutes from one another, i'll be lucky to get a call on valentine's day. Although he said he was going to take me to Colton's on Saturday night to celebrate. On the other hand, our two year anniversary was yesterday and I did get Rise of Nations out of it. Being poor college students suck.

I'm 6 hours away from my wife usually. I'm taking leave from the Navy to be with her. :)

We were both poor college students when we started dating 9 years ago, but I don't have that excuse not to get her something now.

Earlier I swear she called to taunt me from work. She asked me, "Have you figured out what you are going to get me for Valentine's Day yet? I've given you plenty of clues."

Sharpieman 02-08-2005 11:20 PM

I have no freakin idea what I'm going to get my girlfriend. I've been hearing the taunting all this week. Constantly asking me if I know what I'm going to get her and telling me that shes given me hints for like a month now. I have no idea what shes talking about.

Coffee Warlord 02-09-2005 12:42 AM

I'll do the usual.

Inflate the penguin and have a romantic evening. Just me, the penguin, and the yak.

1. What did you do with the polar bear?

2. Please do not damage the futon.

Rise of Nations for your two year anniversary? Christ, I think I wound up getting my girl a white gold and (tiny) diamond bracelet for our two year anniversary. I wish I could have gotten away with a $50 computer game...

spleen1015 02-09-2005 10:12 AM

I bought my wife a new laptop for Valentine's Day.

sportsfan13 02-09-2005 11:07 AM

You guys all have very creative ideas! I'm impressed! I think a nice, romantic dinner is pretty much all that is needed for a nice Valentine's Day. Small gifts are always nice though!!

I'm the master of a small gift. Let's do lunch.

JasonC23 02-09-2005 12:32 PM

We bought a house last week.

For Valentine's Day, we're remembering that we bought a house and have no money to spend on Valentine's Day. Ah, romance...

Radii 02-09-2005 12:41 PM

Remember that Friends episode where Chandler and Monica agree to make each other gifts? ... well, not the exact same thing but $10 limit in that theme. *gulps* T-minus 5 days and counting! wish me luck!

For the $10 limit, get a cheap, but good, bottle of wine ($5-$6) and some flowers ($5-$6). It may not be a dozen long-stem red roses, but that is always nice.

Taco Bell it is.... but only if you order from the value menu!!! :D

rkmsuf 02-09-2005 02:23 PM

Ok, thread cancelled. Boyfriend, girlfriend dola.

Ryche 02-09-2005 02:36 PM

My wife and I are going out for a good dinner over the weekend for Valentines, then have a bottle of champagne to drink afterwards. I'll probably get a card, write a little note in it and stick it in her bag when she goes to work on the actual day.

She's not a fan of flowers or jewelry, so I get off easy in that respect. Last year we got each other cell phones and the year before we bought a new HD TV.

lytic 02-09-2005 07:15 PM

I forgot to mention that like my cousin AE, 14 Feb is also my anniversary.

7 years!

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn 02-09-2005 07:56 PM

I haven't been taunting or anything this week. I'm hoping he forgets so I can extract a larger gift out of guilt. :D
