I love my husband! (PIP)

DH and I aren't typically big Valentine's day people. I don't think we've ever REALLY celebrated Valentine's Day. We never do gifts, and rarely do cards. Our plans for the weekend we to do a nice dinner and wine on Sunday to celebrate our engagement anniversary. No other plans.

I just had someone come to my door. It was a delivery guy....with flowers!! I have NO clue when DH bought them....the place that delivered them is the local flower store in our tiny town. They don't have a website. I don't know when he must have gone in - I'm always at home! And I know what time he gets home from work, and he hasn't been late at all anytime in the last several weeks.

But now I kind of feel bad, because I have nothing for him - you know, because we've never really done gifts. Should I go get him something?

    So sweet!  That's such a great surprise :)  Love it when DHs do something so sweet out of the blue.

    This is actually the same boat that I am in.  DH came home from class 2 days ago with flowers for me!!  So the night at home with candles and everything that I was planning on... I don't know if I should do more now?  I haven't come up with anything yet, anyways.

    Sorry I wasn't more help..

    Very pretty!  I actually think that you shouldn't go out and get him something because he bought you flowers.  If you haven't ever swapped gifts in the past, I doubt he will even be expecting something.  Don't take the flowers as a hint for you to get him a gift.  I think it was just a nice gesture for him to show you he loves you!

    That's kind of what I was thinking too Lisa. I mean, we've never done gifts before. And since they were delivered today, instead of Monday, makes me think they were more meant to be random I love you flowers, not for Valentine's Day.

    Your DH could have easily called in the order to the little local flower shop.  The flowers are very pretty and a nice surprise.  I wouldn't think him getting you flowers requires you to get a gift in return.  But maybe you can give DH a back rub as a thank you.

    that is so sweet!  I agree with the pp that said you shouldn't feel obligated to get him something just because, he probably just wanted to do something extra special for you.

    Oh, how sweet!  They are so pretty!  Don't feel obligated to get him something.  I agree, he wanted to do something thoughtful for you.

    However, if you want to do something sweet for him, make him a special dessert or dinner or something along those lines.
