Wanna brag about your V-day gift (s)?
I do!
We just had a lunch date because of his work schedule. We then opened our gifts and mine was one of our wedding photos in a beautiful silver and black (we're hardcore Raider fans) frame that said Mr & Mrs.
We had a $25 cap on V-day gifts this year, but this meant more to me than a diamond bracelet, or any other extravagant gift. Just one of the reasons I love this man!
Re: Wanna brag about your V-day gift (s)?
Don got me flowers...gerber daisies, my fav...and that's what our wedding flowers were so I loved them. I'm pretty sure that'll all and I'm ok with that. We're going to dinner at an italian place near where we live...we've never eaten anything besides their pizza so tonight will be nice!
I made him an apple pie from scratch (crust and all)! And I made him a chore coupon book too.
My b-day and our dating anniversary are both in March and within two days of each other which is why we don't go all out for V-Day.

No gifts this year. When I got home I joked with Jeremy about having me a card, he didn't and sent me in the living room while he washed dishes. I went back into the kitchen later and he told me to get some bill and he had written me a note. He said he did it earlier in the day so who knows but it was really sweet.
We went out to a japanese place supper and that was it.
gerren has never been good about valentines day...as in, in 9 years he has gotten maybe 2 things? his excuse is from dec-feb we had hannukah, christmas, our dating anniversary, valentines day, my birthday, his birthday. now the dating anniversary is gone, PLUS we are married, so he had to give in
i got a beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers, one of the prettiest bouquets ever! and a lovely and touching card, and a gift certificate to victoria's secret.
gerren loved his gift, and while i thought my dinner was mostly a success, ger did not like 2 of the 4 elements. please refer to my blog for details

I am totally anti-vday so there is no exchange in our house. We do do cards, and MFD insists on getting me flowers every year, just a nice mixed bouquet.
Otherwise we had leftovers and went bowling and split a pitcher of beer. It was a nice day with my love, but most days are.
We aren't big on VDay, but we do exchange & acknowledge the day regardless.
I got one of these pretty guys:
and we're going out to dinner tonight. Nothing too exciting.

DH got me flowers and a bottle of wine (Grand Traverse Late Harvest Riesling).
My mom got me a couple of roses and the same bottle of wine.
Discover card was offering cash back yesterday so I also ordered myself pants and a jacket from LuLuLemon that I have been coveting for months.
Then I worked from 5 - 12 serving all the wonderful couple V-Day dinner. fun.
I told DH this year I wanted flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries. (I try to make it easy on the guy by coming out and just saying it, since he wants to do something but rarely knows what.) Badabing, yesterday I received tulips at work - brownie points for remembering how I hate roses - and came home to find my strawberries in the fridge! I was very impressed.
I got him a goofy little plush heart that walks around going "KISSY KISSY" in a really stupid voice*, and on my way home I picked up dinner from Chili's for us to veg on the couch. It was a nice day.
* Tried the mushy approach our first VD together, it was a total flop. This made him laugh and I heard it going off last night when I was in another room, so I think that was score one point for me. lol!
Pardon my ignorance. What's Relay??

I assume it's Relay for Life, a fundraiser for fighting cancer. My friend also volunteers with it in her town.
