What was your favorite Valentine's gift you've received?

Re: 1 question poll

  • DH always gets me a little something special and it is always thoughtful.  He knows that I am girly and I love hearts, so usually some kind of Tiffany's heart jewelry. 
  • He woke me up with kisses and breakfast in bed. We ended up doing mini golf, laser tag, and go-karts. After that he brought me downtown to the river walk (he had already packed a picnic) and we sat drinking and eating while watching the sunset symphony*. The best thing about it was it was around the end of May so I had no clue he had this planned!

    ETA: Fail at reading the question. We typically don't do actual gifts, but in our eyes a day planned to do whatever the other one wants is the "gift". :)

  • When I was still in college and MH (then my FI) had graduated and was living at home, I came to visit over VDay weekend. His parents wouldn't let us sleep in the same room in their house, so MH got a hotel room a few miles away even though it was totally overpriced and frivolous. It was so sweet and we had a great night. Devil

  • It's not really a gift but...

    One year when DH and I were dating he told me to dress up and I figured we were going somewhere nice. I was slightly annoyed because I honestly do not like going out on Vday due to the crowds. He ended up cooking a candlelight dinner at home and I thought it was cute we were dressed nicely (we wear sweats a lot...).

  • H (then bf) was out on a field op on Vday the first year we were together. He gave me a link bracelet with a heart charm that I still wear all the time.

  • One year he gave me a TON of balloons. Like a dozen of the big, shiny, shaped ones with words on them. I know it's silly but I love balloons and it made me so happy. Plus, they stayed floating for weeks!

  • He makes me a special dinner every year.  It's always wonderful.  I think the best meal was the Greek gyros he made a couple of years ago.

  • He got me a giant fortune cookie one year with a personalized message inside.

    And yes, the actual fortune did end with "in bed".   The H is a funny guy sometimes.

  • Last year Valentine's day was right before our wedding so I wasnt expecting anything. He was supposed to be working and I had plans to go to my friends house for dinner (it's also one of my best friend's birthday so we usually do something for her) I walked out of work and DH was outside waiting for me. When I got in the car, there was a dozen roses and a little teddy bear on the seat. I thought that was so sweet.  We stopped at home so I could change into more comfortable clothes since I wasn't going to bail on my friend and this is what my living room looked like.

    It really had nothing to do with the flowers and balloons but I was so happy he surprised me by taking the day off and trying to do something cute.

  • This is silly, but last Vday, DH got me one carnation from each of the dogs. The funniest was what he wrote on the cards. One said: "Mom-E, I ruff you" (from our boy) and "Sorry I'm such a b!tch" from our girl.
