I think (most) men think of any gift-giving occasion as a chore- birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, anniversary.
I, OTOH, _love_ giving gifts, shopping, figuring out really cool stuff- so I love all the gift-giving days.
And I _do_ like the traditional VD trappings- flowers, dinner, (maybe cooked at home, maybe by me) and Godiva truffles!
I have a funny story, but actually have to do some work, will post it later...
