Nada. My wife and I don't do Valentine's Day. We both prefer little surprise gifts just for the hell of it throughout the rest of the year. It's a little more fun that way. But to each their own.
Friday OT #2 - What did you get/give this year for V-Day?
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
The girlfriend is not one for gifts, but I went against her word and got her an arrangement of flowers. Tonight we are going out to eat and she made me agree to let her pay since I paid for her dinner the other day. Afterwards I am taking her out to the bar to celebrate her 21st birthday which she had this week but neither of us could really celebrate due to me student teaching and her having class from 8 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. It's refreshing dating a girl that isn't gift oriented, but instead just wants to spend time and do things with me. That and its easy on the bank account that we can trade dinners, regardless of the occasion.
The tradition is for me to get flowers the week before or the week after if at all. In this case it was the week before...
I also got her a bacon & egg card that you open up and "Hot hot hot!" starts playing, the egg and bacon sizzle (vibrate) on the card. I laughed out loud in Target when I found it so it was a must buy. Oh, and I got her one other gift that vibrates.
Brown chicken brown cow.

Took Wifey-poo out to dinner last night, then to the Half-Price bookstore (she loaded up). Made a real date out of it. Then rubbed her feet while we watched a couple Wheel Of Fortunes we had on the DVR.
This morning I bought the last daughter we have at home a half dozen brownie batter valentines donuts at Dunkin Donuts, and texted HVDs to my other two girls. My oldest texted back that I'd always be her #1 dude. Made my day!

I shoveled the rest of the driveway/sidewalk for him after he was only able to do behind his car before he left this am. Texted him a pic and said Happy V-Day. I was honest and let him know the neighbor came over with his snowblower and helped with where the plow had gone by. 
We will get a heart shaped pizza from Great Plains, which is what we did our 1st V Day 20 years ago as students at ISU and have done since we moved back to Ames. Plan on stopping at Stam later this afternoon hopefully.

Got the wife some flowers and I've yet to recieve anything. I have to assume a gift is on the way, right? Right?

I bought my wife an exercise bike.
And in return she is not going to be mad at me for getting her an exercise bike.

Remembering my preggo days (in the distant past)...I think I would have preferred the comfy lounge pants!
Vday was a loss for me this year. Just created a fight between us. She asks for ideas and then complained about having to shop for those ideas. I got her something but she neglected to see said gift on the kitchen table as she left work thinking I didn't get her anything and scowling at me. Vday sucks.
I got him a bag of peanut m'n'ms and a Hershey's chocolate bar. He surprised me by having flowers delivered (he's gone all day working the ISU Classic track meet). Silly man. I'll either have him pick up a heart-shaped pizza on his way out of Ames or we'll take the whole family out to eat (at one of the only four non-pizza/non-fast food restaurants in town).
