Want to hear a funny Valentine's day related story?
H is terrible at giving gifts. TERRIBLE. It was evident very early on in our relationship if I wanted anything remotely useful I had to tell him exactly what I wanted (and usually order it myself). Obvious hints didn't work.
For some bizarre reason I thought that getting married would turn him into a thoughtful gift-giver, so the first Valentine's day afterwards I decided that I'd let him do his thing and see what happened. He was still in A-school, and didn't get home until later. I gave him an awesome gift and he began to look guilty when I realized he had forgotten and hadn't gotten me anything. I was pretty upset.
He left, and came back an hour or so later with flowers and a bag that contained.....a Kidz Bop CD. (A few days prior we had been sitting on the couch- him playing on his laptop, and me watching Spongebob when a Kidz Bop commercial came on and I said in a heavily sarcastic voice, "OH I REALLLLY WANT THAT" ). Apparently while walking around Target the only thing he could remember me "wanting" was this fuuuucking ridiculous CD.
That was the day I stopped letting him buy presents for anyone. I will never let him live it down.

Re: Want to hear a funny Valentine's day related story?
He probably got talked into it by a salesperson if he mentioned that it was a Valentine's day gift. The perk of it being a Yankee Candle is that you can trade it in for whatever scent you want- even if your H is like mine and probably lost the receipt 2 seconds after buying it.
(also ftr- I work at a Yankee Candle and I despise the rose scents)

I know right?
Now whenever I say I want something sarcastically I stop and tell H "I'M BEING SARCASTIC DO NOT BUY THIS FOR ME."

I had no idea they would let me exchange it. Thank you!!! I agree those rose scents make me gag...literally.
