So, I mostly wanted to post this thread to brag that I got Pedros tools and Newcastle for Valentine's day. Tools and beer... Now this is what v-day would be like if men had invented it.

What'd the rest of you do for the evening (err, besides the obvious - you can keep those details to yourself ;))? Any especially good dinners and/or booze? Creative presents?

My girlfriend and I didn't really celebrate, just exchanged small gifts. Neither of us are big fans of the holiday.

The wife and I agreed not to do anything since we just booked our vacation. We both figured that any money spent would be better off saved for the trip. But...being the romantic I am (yeah, right) I stopped on the way home and got her some flowers. 1/2 dozen Gerber Daisies. She was totally surprised.

Score one for me! :)

My girl and I just got together about a month ago so we were not going to go hardcore, but...

What I got her:
Dozen roses (at 12:01am on v day) $48
Dinner $50 we didnt drink
keep in mind im a poor college student...

now for the best part, she shows up looking like my avatar, honestly there are similarities...
1 case of sam adams cherry wheat :drool:
A book on sex positions (that she had full intentions of researching later)
and chocolate covered strawberries


props to my girl!

I took the day off and we went snowboarding. Well, I went snowboarding and she took a full day lesson since she's never been before. That was about it, except for an exchange of cards and I got her flowers. But I buy her flowers all the time anyway, so that was just par for the course.

I surprised my sweetheart by showing up at where she was working for the day (a florist's) mid-afternoon when she thought I was at work far away. I hid in the back and then popped out, flowers and card in hand, and helped her work for a couple hours. Then she made a delicious dinner... we drank Bellini and ate by candlelight... on and on.... MMMMMmmmmm. :heart:

We went to our usual Monday night spot - the Deschutes Brewery for drinks. We are both pretty simple people...he sent me flowers at work, and I bought him some chocolates. The rest of the details are secret. :)

The fiancee brought home shrimpies and salad, which I cooked up. Wine for her and Guinness for me (I hate wine). I got her "Say Anything" on DVD (Lloyd Dobbler is a serious romantic), a Mighty Mighty Bosstones CD, half dozen roses, and a cool Tim Burton toy. She got me some Guinness pajamas and season 2 of South Park on DVD... we ate, we drank, we made sweeeeet love. :love:

we both think it's a B.S. 'holiday' and don't even acknowledge it.

how generic is it to do stuff for your loved one simply because the calendar says too?

we do things for each other througout the year that means more.

here's a funny one though, my co worker ordered two dozen red roses and chocolates off the web for his wife. the flowers showed up on time but they weren't roses AND they were DEAD! ahahahahaha.

Did the packet thing, I had too much going on, like trying to deal with the kids while making this meal. I bought them the movie Fish Tails, so that kept them amused for like 7 minutes :think: :blah:
