Valentine's Day/Romantic Ideas?

[SadieKate]

Oh no! The diamond commercials are back! Gaaaagggggg!

We had a funny and thoughtful thread going last year. Don't know if you'll find any ideas. Of course, slinke's homemade fudge would be good.

Nooooo -save me from the Benny Bears! Who ever thought up the idea that disemboweling a teddy bear was romantic deserves to never have a relationship.

(For those who do not have Ben Bridge jewlery stores in their area- the "Benny Bear" is a nice little teddy with a zipper up his tummy. To get your lovely gift one must unzip the bear and plunge ones hand into his little teddy innards thereby ripping out the nice daiamondy prize that he has been forced to swallow - I think its down right macabe)

For our 1st anniversary, DH and I went and stayed in a nice hotel in Austin and rode bikes all weekend. It was great fun! We ordered room service and just spent time with each other. Why not take a long weekend and stay in? You could cook tasty food for each other and just spend time together.

I know I'm inexperienced in the matters of "love" here... But I know what I'm doing this year for Valentines day...

Since it's summer during valentine's here, I'm gonna suprise BF with a formal dinner on our balcony. I got the idea from seeing some latern outdoor string lights covered in hearts at a gift shop on Sunday... as soon as I saw them a plan formulated in my head and I bought them!

He knows that we're having dinner at home that night, but the suprise will be the setting and the food! We'll have his favourite food: freshly cooked prawns! Hopefully I'll get a mango to make mango salad and a rich dairy free chocolate cake with soy icecream for desert! It'll be little effort on the day itself.

I'm stealing his bike this morning and taking it outside with mine and posing them together for a photo. From that I'll make a card. Way more personal than a hallmark... (unless you design cards for hallmark in which case your SO gets one of them right??)

Plus I've put in my request. BF in his high school days was a violinist. He bought me to tears with a serenade a few months ago. I want him to play for me again. That's all I really want for Valentines.

I'd like it if we could ride the river loop in the morning as well. ^_^ Just the two of us!

Anyway It's our second Valentines day together as well as our first anniversary! (which was two days before that)

I agree with CA in NC that resturants are too overcrowded... Plus you can't really celebrate with a bottle of wine cause you have to taxi it home.

Anyway Haudlady, Think back to what you guys did together when you first started going out. Drag out some photos of the two of you doing fun things together sharing the love and make him laugh...

Or if all that is too much effort, Hire an action packed DVD and make some popcorn and some choc top icecreams and plant yourselves in front of the TV for the evening.

Who said Valentines had to be extravagent???

We have been married almost 16 years and do not usually buy each other gifts. We are each other's best friend and do little things for each other every day. The man is a saint for putting up with me, in all honesty. Anyway, we buy the boys little treats for Valentine's Day and that is about it.

I am very glad I do not have those commercials around here. Augh.
