What are you getting your special lady friends for Valentine's day?

I suck at ideas, so I might just get this chick a bear and a rose.

Also, where did our influx of women at FOFC vanish to? Like Ickey Woods, their careers were short lived, but glorious.

She's not getting a gift, really, just some cards and a fabulous, extremely expensive night out on the town...

Don't do it Shorty, once you start buying Valentines gifts you can never stop or you'll never hear the end of it.

You have to run that sh*t short dog. Tell her you better get a V-Day present or she's to the curb.

Hey! The girls are still here!! well, atleast I still am, from time to time. My BF (CleBrownsfan) is taking me out to a great restaurant and that's all I really want for V-day. I like flowers...those are always nice. But a nice romantic dinner for two is always an acceptable gift on Valentine's day. It's a nice time to catch up with each other!

I'm getting Mrs. Franklinnoble a Pajamagram. (http://www.pajamagram.com)

I'm selfish like that.

Bah@valentines day

I was thinking of taking m'lady out to 2-for-1's night at SexxBooth: Adult Video Viewing Center

Get her some bubble bath, some scented oils, some candles and give her a bath, make her dinner, some champagne and a couple of glasses and her favorite movie on DVD even if it's something like Sleepless In Seattle, then sit back and reap the rewards. And hey man, picsplskthx.

i really HATE valentines day

what do you want?
nothing, whatever, anything from you, etc

1 dozen roses...
gee you were creative this year

one of those design your bear things at the mall....
cute but she didn't like it as much as i thought she would

music box in the shape of a book that says love and has part of our wedding vowels in it....(i thought for sure this was a home run)
thanks honey and quickley buried in some chest or box completly out of sight

I got no ideas for this year

i think i will just make her a candle light dinner

I'm right there with you. I get the same responses both before and after the gift giving process. Also I always get the infamous, "you should know what I want."

Sigh.

In any case, I'm getting her a diamond pendant this year. Also, since she has to work on Valentine's day (being a chef sucks this day of the year) I'm going to surprise her with taking her out to a nice restaurant on Sunday and getting her flowers at that time.

condors that last one was good. If she didn't like it than she probably won't like anything.

Don't go quantity, go quality. Relative to your price range, of course. Chocolate-covered strawberries are a good bet.

Or be exotic and spicy. PPV a "Girls Gone Wild" video and...what?!?

Obviously a delicious Subway cold cut combo.

Nah, it should be hot for his pleasure.

I think my wife knows exactly what she wants but i can't figure out what it is and that makes her upset because i should automagically know and it won't be the same if she has to tell me
Same here.

Be Prepared to lose next week!!
Actually should be a great game, NU has a great student section and solid team. Should be a good game!


I'll probably be taking my lady out on the town in Boston this weekend.

I fully expect to lose but I can't miss a championship game that they are in. Valentines Day is pointless, and fortuently for me she agrees so we never do anything.

Did you go last night? Must have been some game. Donato's doing great things for the Crimson, but we can't get over the Beanpot 1st round hump.

Back to the topic at hand, I think I'm going with a spa day gift certificate this year.

I pray that Harvard destroys BC next Monday in the Consolation game.


Just made reservations for a nice dinner at the Prudential Center and waiting for some tix to Blue Man Group.

I was thinking of getting an MP3 player and putting songs she likes on it...

2 pronged victory... I don't have to listen to that crap anymore and it shows I care all at once.

Damn, I'm glad to be in Japan.

Girls back home are bitches.

WTF is that you should know what I want shit. I can't believe I ever used to cater to anyone's ridiculous whims like that.

And Condors' post takes the cake. I don't want to impugn the character of your lady fair. Maybe she's just out of sorts on Valentine's Day.

So, I won't say that she's a bitch. But she certainly plays one on TV.

"Gee, you were creative this year."?!?! That' a fuckin' slap in the face. She'd be getting a bouqet of Broccoli and Cauliflower from me the next year. How's that for creative?

ok here the secret


you buy a gift that you like a lot. than give it to her for Valentine's day.

this way you know you be using it too. :)

hmmmn, what should I get for my right hand for Valentine's Day?

tell ya one thing...it's a hell of a lot easier to shop for then any girl. Oh yeah, and it doesn't give me any lip, or any excuses about "not being in the mood."

It's my anniversary as well. Her birthday was yesterday, so I have the benefit of combining the dates. Well, so far anyway. :)

I'm actually paying for her to have the lasik eye surgery. She's mentioned it a few times in the past. Working at GNC has helped me stash cash away that she can't track.

She doesn't know yet. :)

Wow you guys are actually getting your girls something for valentines day?? You really spoil them. Since GE and I go to schools that are 45 minutes from one another, i'll be lucky to get a call on valentine's day. Although he said he was going to take me to Colton's on Saturday night to celebrate. On the other hand, our two year anniversary was yesterday and I did get Rise of Nations out of it. Being poor college students suck.

YOU SOOOO SHOULD :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ALL of YOUU :mad: just like when you should help clean up or just D O SOMETHING when we want you to and shouldnt have to ask you to do it cuz you SHOULD just do it :mad:

I'm 6 hours away from my wife usually. I'm taking leave from the Navy to be with her. :)

We were both poor college students when we started dating 9 years ago, but I don't have that excuse not to get her something now.

Earlier I swear she called to taunt me from work. She asked me, "Have you figured out what you are going to get me for Valentine's Day yet? I've given you plenty of clues."

I have no freakin idea what I'm going to get my girlfriend. I've been hearing the taunting all this week. Constantly asking me if I know what I'm going to get her and telling me that shes given me hints for like a month now. I have no idea what shes talking about.

I'll do the usual.

Inflate the penguin and have a romantic evening. Just me, the penguin, and the yak.

1. What did you do with the polar bear?

2. Please do not damage the futon.

Rise of Nations for your two year anniversary? Christ, I think I wound up getting my girl a white gold and (tiny) diamond bracelet for our two year anniversary. I wish I could have gotten away with a $50 computer game...

I bought my wife a new laptop for Valentine's Day.

You guys all have very creative ideas! I'm impressed! I think a nice, romantic dinner is pretty much all that is needed for a nice Valentine's Day. Small gifts are always nice though!!

I'm the master of a small gift. Let's do lunch.

We bought a house last week.

For Valentine's Day, we're remembering that we bought a house and have no money to spend on Valentine's Day. Ah, romance...

Remember that Friends episode where Chandler and Monica agree to make each other gifts? ... well, not the exact same thing but $10 limit in that theme. *gulps* T-minus 5 days and counting! wish me luck!

For the $10 limit, get a cheap, but good, bottle of wine ($5-$6) and some flowers ($5-$6). It may not be a dozen long-stem red roses, but that is always nice.

Hey! The girls are still here!! well, atleast I still am, from time to time. My BF (CleBrownsfan) is taking me out to a great restaurant and that's all I really want for V-day.

Taco Bell it is.... but only if you order from the value menu!!! :D

Ok, thread cancelled. Boyfriend, girlfriend dola.

My wife and I are going out for a good dinner over the weekend for Valentines, then have a bottle of champagne to drink afterwards. I'll probably get a card, write a little note in it and stick it in her bag when she goes to work on the actual day.

She's not a fan of flowers or jewelry, so I get off easy in that respect. Last year we got each other cell phones and the year before we bought a new HD TV.

I forgot to mention that like my cousin AE, 14 Feb is also my anniversary.

7 years!

Copycat.

I haven't been taunting or anything this week. I'm hoping he forgets so I can extract a larger gift out of guilt. :D

I wonder if I can do that for my birthday...:)

Actually, it worked for my birthday last year. I dropped hints, forwarded emails on what I wanted and then he was wrapped up in game development that he just forgot. It was an honest mistake, but I was crushed. He felt horrible. The gift was lovely.

Figuring this out is tough. We used to do it up with a very nice dinner at her favorite restaurant. One of those four-course vegetarian spreads with wine tasting.

But with the toddler, going out is an impossibility. We've never had a babysitter, wouldn't even know where to look for one. Our kid is a handful.

The designer bears sound cute, but there's already a room full of beanie babies. One more, and the others are going to start complaining that they need their own apartment (or the attic, if those little m-fers start complaining too loudly).

Roses, I suppose, aren't too bad an idea, but I've found that there isn't much of a lasting value from them.

I know what she really wants. Me to wake up early and agree to take care of the hellion for an entire day so she can run out to the health club, take her kickboxing classes and her spinning classes, then shop for a few hours. But I'd be a wreck afterwards, and probably unable to program for s--- for weeks. Babysitting isn't my strong point.

My wife made a huge mistake in 2001 that very nearly got me into serious trouble with the Navy. Part of the problem resided in a lack of communication, since I was at sea at the time. I shall not discuss this mistake here. :p

By the time I did get home, the mistake was cleaned up and all was well. She felt so horrible that I got whatever I wanted for at least a month.

Yikes. Glad it worked out for you on both ends.

We did have one Valentines Day where my lovely, wonderful husband of only three months was working on a patch for one of his games and forgot that he asked me to go put on the gift he gave me and left me to fall asleep alone. I can't remember if he ever did make that one up. I'm sure he did because we're still married. :D

It's been nearly four years and the story still makes rounds at family gatherings. :)

Since I'm deployed overseas the best I could do is order roses online, and also throw in a box of chocolate for the kids. OTH, my wife casually mentioned making a trip to the sex shop for a belated Valentine's Day surprise when I come home next month.

This year, Valentine's Day is also my first wedding anniversary. I have no idea what two gifts to get for my wife, but I need to get them in the next day or two while she's out of town. She won't let me out of her sight after she returns on Saturday.

I bought my wife something from diamond.com and it was very reasonable.They have all kinds of jewelry and many don't involve diamonds.

Pumpy, you got suckered into the Okie Doke? :)

Did that sound dirty to anyone else?

I bought her a claddagh ring. We've been dating a few years, but got tired of flowers and since she's at school it's not like driving 1,000 miles or so is feasible just to grub.

So..yeah, I figure it's something she can keep and isn't expecting (it'll be sent tomorrow, I think from Ireland).

I never liked Valentine's Day much though and told her not to get me anything or else I'd be upset. I don't see the point in getting something for the sake of it. Like a gift or whatever. But then, I'm weird.
