My dh and I have never celebrated Valentines in the past. I seriously doubt we will in the future. However, I recall growing up, my mom would always buy us a small gift. I got Anja a card the other day, and I plan on getting her something small but memorable. What, if anything, are you doing?
Also, as I mentioned above, my dh and I don't celebrate this holiday. We aren't antiholiday sorts of people, but it's just something we never got into. To be honest, when we were first dating, I suggested not celebrating it out of sheer laziness. It just stuck. I am wanting to make him something from Anja and I, however because we never celebrated this event before, I don't want to spring this on him out of nowhere. I know he'll feel extremely guilty if he didn't do anything in return. Do I mention it to him? Do I just surprise him? For what it's worth, I don't care if he does anything for me. Or lastly, do I just 86 the idea?

Re: Valentines
I would just tell him about the tradition you had with your mom and see if he wants to participate with you. It may be that he also had a V'day tradition growing up that you could incorporate.
I don't remember Mom really getting us anything, but she always went out of her way to help me get or make special valentines for my classmates. We ordered a lot of really cute activity cards and/or pencil holder valentines from Current.
That's what I am planning on, however I still have an inkling he will feel guilty if he doesn't do something for me in return.
Oh well. We're prob just going to maybe a little heart frame or something alike.
I'm thinking of something similar.
I would just tell DH the plan. My DH and I don't do surprises. Surprises are bad. We know if/when/which holidays we are going to do something so one of us doesn't feel bad or like we didn't do enough.
