any good Valentines ideas?

[RedTulipMom]

Lets compile a list of ideas of gifts to get for our spouses for Valentines day..especially our husbands..lol...why is it so much harder for a woman to buy for a man for Valentines day?? Any good ideas? How bout list gifts you bought for your spouse for a past valentines day.

My favorite gift that sticks out for Valentines day was when dh and i were dating..he got me a dozen roses and a cute fluffy stuffed white dog! Its been all downhill from there..he is a great guy..but not too romantic..lol

Red lacey lingerie. Or is latest fave CD.

I got my hubby stuff for his telescope. An eyepiece that he wanted, a barlow lens, and a solar filter. It's not super romantic, but he'll be very excited about it. It's sort of a combination birthday/Valentine's gift, I guess.

He's done sweet things in past years for me...jewelry, flowers, nice dinners. He thinks it's a silly holiday, but he indulges me because I'm one of those silly romantic girls who loves it.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing for Valentines day... probably just a quiet dinner at home since we're working so hard to finish paying off our car!

I'm taking wifey out to watch a theater performance called "No Sweetheart Required".

It's a collection of short romantic comedies.

The evening will be seasoned with some flowers, chocolates, and maybe a pair of thongs.

Oooh, I LOVE theater. I'm sure your wife will love it. Now, how to get MY hubby to come up with something that thoughtful...

Heehee, I was just going to ask Redguard if he would mind giving my DH a couple tips.

I've been hinting to hubby if he'd like to go to a theatre....no response yet. So we'll see.

My hubby really likes theater actually. We've gone several times in the past few months...it's just getting him to coordinate the fun stuff I really love with the holiday that I really love to celebrate.

Maybe try going as a family first? We took our kiddies to see Beauty and the Beast and after that he was hooked.

LOL, and I take it back about him not coordinate theater dates with holidays...he did take me to see Bram Stoker's Dracula for Halloween. Yeah, I know, how romantic.

My hubby and I are going to go out for a romantic dinner. We usually don't give big gifts, maybe a book or box of chocolates.

our 1st year wedding aniversary falls about 2 weeks after v-day. we are pretty short on funds at the moment and were looking at a realy nice bookcase/display cabinate thing. so tonight we laybuyed it as our v-day and anv pressent to each other. im also looking at getting our wedding rings engraved

 

[cavymom]

Well,

I've already taken my husband shopping and "let him" buy me a cup/chocolate basket, a large 2 foot tall plush stuffed rose and a hello kitty flashlight for valentines day. Our agreement as always is I can have them now but cannot use them until after the holiday arrives. He loves that I tell him exactly what I want and even take him uptown and show him exactly what it is that way he knows I will enjoy it and he cannot be blamed for getting the wrong present or forgetting the holiday. (yes I get to pick all my own birthday and christmas gifts too, and like them all very much) It's a win win situation.

As for hubby he would rather have a bubble bath with me or "gift certificates" for foot rubs/back rubs etc that I write out for him to redeem when he wants them, which funny enough usually get redeemed when I am not happy with him and so I must grin and bear it as I get out the massage oil.

DH's favorite thing in the world is new socks....he'd wear a new pair everyday if we could afford it LOL
I have no idea why...he claims it's the fluffy stiffness that new socks provide...
so he's getting socks...
I know it sounds so lame, but ... he's like a little kid with a toy he's always wanted when he sees a package of new socks LOL...

I think we're going to a hotel for hte weekend...hehe no kids, no mom...just us out of the house and on our own LOL

He is so right about the new socks!!!!!

We are lacking in the romance department at my house. We'll probably do Chinese takeout by candlelight and a movie

My hubby's the same way about socks.

Valentines day.....a fella can't win.

If he buys flowers, she wants chocolates

If he buys chocolates, she's on a diet.

C'est la Guerre

 

[someone_else]

lol good one andy. me and elm0 arnt big on dayslike v-day why do you need to set aside one day a year to tell someone you love them

 

[valerielynn]

Oh my,I have always thought that only women receive valentines gifts.....of course if I get a nice gift I pour tons of affection on my sweet hubby

 

[RedTulipMom]

My hubby's the same way about socks.

be thankful. My hubby could wear the same socks for 5 yrs until they each have 10 holes in them and wouldnt care. If i dont buy new socks for him he never even thinks of it. Some of his socks are pretty nasty. this thread has inspired me to get him some socks for valentines day! lol

that is exactly what my dh would do too, I think we will have a much needed date night, we dont usually do gifts, If I had the money I would love to do one of the motel valentine packages dinner, chocolates, hot tub, candles, maybe next year.
