NBR: Valentine's Day Gifts
What are you getting your SO for Valentine's Day? I want to get MH something, but am drawing a blank. I need some ideas! We haven't made dinner reservations yet either, so I should probably do that if we want to go anywhere.

52 Books in 2014??
My sweet babies:
We usually do what @84Lauren does, but we haven't bought our joint Christmas gift yet because we can't decide what we want, so I doubt V day will happen either.
We are horrible gift givers to each other so there is almost no point.

We also don't do gifts. I'll typically cook a nice dinner and splurge on a nice bottle of wine, but that's about it.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman
Married Bio
Yes. But it's not callous. Neither of us would. We might be unromantic, I guess, but we don't typically surprise each other with gifts. It happens so rarely that I think we are uncomfortable with it. Instead, we usually do something fun or discuss exchanging gifts. Sometimes, like in this instance, I feel like doing something different, but I know it doesn't work well for us.

My brother in law lives with us, so maybe we can just go out for a drink or something, just to get some alone time.
Our anniversary is the week before so we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day at all.

Or I would have a photo album from last year ready to go as a gift to both of us.

His BD is a week later (mine is 4 days later) so February is definitely an expensive month. For his BD I'm getting him a blu-ray player that he wants so we can stream stuff in our bedroom onto the TV. Right now our only blu-ray player is in our living room/theater set up.
Other ideas....I agree with the legos (look into possibly a subscription to pleygo...I got that for my husband for our anniversary and he adores it!), Beer of the Season Club (it's a club where they send you different beers from microbreweries once every 3 months), those are all the recent ones that I can think of....
