  Sex, sex and more sex!! Well hopefully as long as I'm not on my period lol. Other than that we are boring homebodies with two kids and no babysitters . As far as gifts I usually get my hubby some new tool or something for one of his guns and he gets me chocolate covered strawberries (my all time fav!)

  We don't usually do anything for Valentine's Day. My husband usually has to help his parents that week at their business so we never get to do anything. His birthday is right near V-Day so I will probably just get him one present.

  We don't do anything for V-day either.  We decided a few years ago to just get each other cards but no gifts.  It's an overrated holiday IMO

  Our anniversary is February 10th so we celebrate both at the same time. We don't have anything planned yet but we will probably go to dinner at least. I told him I wanted a mani/pedi for our anniversary and vday. He told me he wants a video game lol we'll see about that one!

  I agree it's overrated. However, we agreed this year to not get Christmas gifts for each other anymore because of all the other spending, so I think it would be nice to celebrate a holiday about "us". I'm so lost about what to get him though. He's so hard to buy for. Maybe an IOU book of sex? "One BJ with no expected return on my investment..." Hmmm, I may need to find a sexier phrasing for that.

  We don't really celebrate valentines but the 15 is our dating anniversary (6 years!) so we will probably do dinner.

  We haven't ever been big on valentines day. But this year, because we take so little time for just the two of us, I am sure we will do dinner or something. My husband is really sweet about giving me gifts from MJ so I am sure I will get a small valentine from my little love.

  @kames12 My birthday is on Feb 8th too!
  We don't exchange presents, but we used to go out for dinner. Now that we have LO, we'll just make something nice for dinner at home.

  Not a fan of Valentines but I make up small gift bags for my kids. It will have candy, socks, small toy usually all Valentines day themed. I make my husband a card because I refuse to spend 7.00 on one when I can write the same thing on a piece of paper and it has exactly what I want to say on it. Dinner out anytime is a bonus. :x

  We didn't do Christmas gifts for eachother this year since we moved over the holidays, so it would be nice to get a gift and spend some time together.
  
  As far as what I'd get him, i have no idea....but i know what i want!!
  
  PPB wistful weekender diaper bag.
  Or a dslr camera.

  We don't do presents and my DH refuses to buy flowers. But we do go to this fantastic restaurant an hour away for dinner. It's a fun little tradition we started while dating.

  I always go out to dinner with Chloe. Last year STBXH took us out but I'm looking forward to dinner with my girls. I always do like a gift bag with candy, a small shirt, and a DVD or iTunes card for Chloe.
  I will prob do something similar for Harper with a onesie, sippy cup or a small new toy. And we make sugar cookies but given my "traditional" Christmas Eve didn't go over well with my tweenager we will see lol.

  DS1's birthday is the 10th so we are always pooped from throwing a kid party usually and just like some down time. We both think it's overrated and the food at restaurants is overpriced and worse on that night so if we do do anything it would be grandma babysits and we see a movie. We don't do gifts but we always do a mushy card. My husband's love language is definitely words so writing him something means a lot. It's hard for me so I know he knows that is the most thoughtful thing I can do.
  That and blow jobs the week of my period. I'm such a romantic!

  The little garage sale stickers are supposed to fit perfectly
  

  I love this idea! I might do this for my husband. I feel like I'm not as nice as I should be sometimes.

  We probably won't do much. Maybe a movie if we can get my parents to babysit. Our wedding anniversary is the jan 17th. So after christmas and our anniversry we are usually wiped out of gifts by valentines day. Either way I enjoy just a date night so hopefully we can get that.

  We are trying to get our sex life back so we agreed on sexy gifts. That probably means we will both buy me lingerie but if anyone had a better idea, I'm all ears! (He's not into sex dice and games and things like that so I feel my options are limited.)

  Handcuffs and a blindfold. May be a bit much if sexy dice are off the table

  Right? I'm like NO FUN.
  
  Maybe I'll take SA's mini Reese's idea but put actions on them and tell him he can pick one per night until they're gone.

  My husband would probably enjoy that version more than the reasons I love you!
  
  But then I would have to let him cash them in.... Hahaha
