I never know what to buy him though. Women's gifts are typical, men's aren't.

Exactly! I would make mine things, like this one year I made him "love coupons" LOL! (I decorated them all nicely and made a nice envelope) And on each coupon, I'd write something that he enjoys doing and would enjoy doing with me. For example, I'm not big on video games, but one was "video game challenge" and another was "go to a Toronto Maple Leafs game" and another one was "Make out session" and another was "WILD CARD"... and so on. (of course he didn't need to ask me to do some of those things, but it made it more fun, something different. He would "cash them in" (give them to me) and it was a cute way to initiate special things to do together. He really enjoyed them, and I enjoyed spending the time with him.

I've thought of doing one of those. It seems like a good idea. I think he would like that.

I am not interested in Valentines day. It tries to force people into buying stuff that cost 3 x more than they do the next day...

I completely agree. I don't "do" Valentine's Day and never have. When I was dating my husband I told him my feelings on Valentine's Day and he didn't complain about not having to get me anything.

I normally don't get anything from hubby for Valentines Day (or any day for that matter), but I'm a giving person, so this is what I'm doing this year. And some of you may think it's sinful, but it's what he enjoys.

My husband loves to play poker with his friends. He always has to go to their houses because we don't have a poker table. That's what he is getting this year. A poker table. I'm also going to set up the whole entire room with poker stuff. Curtains, ect. Then we are going to have a Valentine's couples poker party. No, it's not going to be dirty. Just a normal game of poker. I think he'll enjoy that a lot more than any silly gift I could buy for him.

Mercy... after being married for 24 years, there's nothing new under the sun. Just knowing that the old man is sitting in the same room with me is a pretty good gift.

Valentine's is a little more than a month away!

Great... yet another reason for every company on Earth to guilt me into buying something for my wife based on the calendar instead of our present situation in life...

Valentine's Day usually means going out for dinner and exchanging cards. Although last year, he did buy me a Compassion sponsorship which was incredibly thoughtful.
All he wants is nookie and to spend time with me. I'm good with that
