Do you and Dh exchange gifts for V-day?

MrsRyan61804 · February 2011

I think we're kinda over the gift giving thing. We go to dinner exchange cards and maybe he buys me flowers or chocolate but nothing big or extravagant. This year though I would really like a mother's necklace from Jack. I told my Dh he is my valentine this year so he better get me something good, but I doubt he'll get the hint.

What do you guys do?

We usually do something small. This year we are not doing anything, really, as we invested in a new camera- so that is kind of our gift, I suppose.

I got him a few small, cute things from D.

I am so jealous of your new camera. Was the picture you posted on FB taken with that camera? It's really a great picture of him

We've never done valentine gifts -- just cards. DH thinks it's a made up Hallmark holiday and I've never really cared enough about it. Plus, his birthday is the week before and mine is a few days after, so we do gifts for those.

But I hope your DH gets the hint and your necklace!

Actually, it wasn't with the new one! Thank you!

Our anniversary is on Feb. 25th and I'd rather celebrate that and we sometimes exchange gifts for that.

We usually don't but this year I hinted I wanted a spa Gc and I got it (yes already). He bought it online and had it sent yesterday. (isn't he so romantic - sarcasm) So my two sisters and I are going to have a girls' day in couple weeks. Lunch and spa.

This year, DH is getting me a digital frame, and I'll pay for dinner. Nothing big, but nice.

no - we hate it - we tried to do a "nice" v-day once - went to a semi-pricey restaurant (for us anyway) that everyone raved about - hated the food and then were annoyed that we could have gotten 3 dinners at a fun place we like for the same price....

i love flowers but they seem like too much of an indulgence - we save those for really big things (like graduating grad school)

in general we ignore v-day - we're pretty low-key like that

We don't do anything...it is more important to us to put effort into dates that are actually meaningful to our relationship, you know? I may get DH a card from DD this year, though...

We exchange cards and chocolate and usually do dinner.

DH has his PhD defense at the end of next week so I don't know when we will do valentine's day but we are not doing anything big this year-we will celebrate when he is all done.

This. We both think it's a dumb holiday. I think he loves me more for that reason!

We used to but since having ds we just exchange cards. I did get flowers last year in addition to the card.

tina623 · February 2011

We love Valentines Day. Dh usually gives me flowers and a gift, this year I'm buying myself a Nook. He left it up to me to pick out my ereader. I'm going to get him some jelly bellys and a card from the girls.

We have a sitter so we can go out for a nice romantic dinner.

leslie&brian · February 2011

We just do chocolates and a card. We use to go out to dinner, but now with the little guy we'll make a nice dinner in.

JillRock96 · February 2011

We usually just do cards, maybe candy. In the past, I used to bake for him, and he used to take me out to dinner. For the last two years with Ava, we've just gotten her a little something (which is what we'll do with all three girls this year).

Courted · February 2011

We do absolutely nothing! DH does not "believe" in Valentine's Day! It is a joke now every year. He always says society shouldn't be able to dictate when we are supposed to express our love for each other! LOL

amberleeb · February 2011

We always order a heart shaped pizza and rent a movie. So that is the plans for this year too!

BoilerSuz · February 2011

I'm a complete V-day sap. The "unloved and insecure" single girl always envied those with significant others on V-day. I dated but until DH never had someone special on the actual day. That being said DH has always been great and incredibly thoughtful for the holiday. I often get a nice purse or good earrings. I usually get DH something that is just for him - a watch,a massage, etc.

We both make a point of having DS make or get something meaningful for the other parent. The other week we were talking about what do make for the grandparents and DS started screaming for DH to stop the car. "Stop Dad, we need to get the flowers for mom!" all said while pointing at the grocery. I about melted.
