What did you get for Valentines day?

A text saying happy valentines day and as my gift we get to listen to Forest on the radio this evening!

Nothing! In Korea, only girls buy boys presents on Valentines Day. There is 'White Day' a month later, where the boys buy presents. So he is using that excuse!

The best present I got (apart from my ring) was a card with a fiver in it, saying go treat yourself!

Who says romance is dead!

A text saying "yay, it's nearly pancake day"

It's what I get every year, and I love it.

I just got a card, we swapped them at 4am this morning when he got up then I won't see him for the rest of the day! I will probably just cook tomorrow night instead.

A big fat nothing!

We don't do Valentines day. Sorry if this sounds all bah humbug but it's all good fun for teenagers etc but we both agree that feeling you have to do something romantic or caring for your significant other on a certain day because the occasion dictates it takes away any meaning in it really. It means a lot more to me when OH does something lovely for me with no prompt.

A card, its all i expect!! hel cook a yummy dinner tonight, and il be hapy with that, dont need hallmark holiday to shwo we luffs each other!!

We wouldn't normally celebrate it to any extent, but it's our first as OM's so decided to do something for a change.

He grunted Happy Valentines Day and then went back to sleep!!!

?

Honestly, if I get a card I'll be chuffed... it's still just a day really. I am more focused on first wedding anniversary in a month!!

I got a card as he left this morning at 5.30. He's away tonight and it's my birthday in a couple of days so doubt they'll be anything else.

We vary each year, I got diamond earrings and roses a couple of years ago, this year just a card. We just see how the mood takes us really!

I doubt I'll get a present and I haven't got him anything. I got a card through the post the other day, and opened it there and then because I wasn't expecting it and I got a bit carried away! He's cooking me a nice tea for when I get in from work later, but I can't really decide what I fancy!

Mrs C - I can't believe it's a year already. Yours was the first wedding report I read, and it doesn't feel like a year ago!

Chocolate, perfume and a Boofle Bear. Then just had delivered of 30 red roses!!

I love this! I too hate "commercial b*llocks" day. Its just a hallmark holiday.

I got a boofle bear for Xmas. His name is Brian Boofles the 3rd. He went to Eton and is very posh. He enjoys watching polo (I like to give bears a back story)

Nothing. He rolled over in bed when I turned Lorraine on this morning and said "Happy Valentine's Day" followed by "yes!" as he was the first to say it. Very childish.

A card and a box of choccies, a dozen red roses and we are going out for something to eat tonight.

I love Valentine's day. We are a romantic couple anyway so don't need Valentine's Day to do something nice but I just love it. First one as a married couple too which makes me do a big smile.

Oh! I forgot he gave me roses too! He gave me them last night. We're like you Panj. A very romantic couple. It's really no different to any other day, except i get a card!!! and new shoes! ?

Well... After pledging to make a huge fuss, it appears MrLM *may* have forgotten!

No card or flowers here but he is out "sorting something out" at the moment... He was going to purchase a puppy for me, until he got the look. I love dogs, but so don't want one right now.

Last night was much more romantic in this household - but it was true romance, not "i have to be romantic" romance. I got a nice candlelit bath, a lovely couple of glasses of champagne, some of Hs choccies and his reading pride and prejudice to me from my kindle! ❤️

I came downstairs to this, a card from OH and one from my Son, which was lovely, BUT we had agreed not to get each other anything, and I took this seriously!

Ah how sweet Charlie_Lou.

What were the presents?

I got a lovely card and some pretty flowers. We don't really bother with anything else.

We agreed we werent exchanging cards etc this year as we're trying to save some money for the wedding. It's my birthday on the 23rd so I hope he gets me a card at least for that!

I got a card and a cute birdcage necklace. Were saving money for the wedding so kept it small too.

Very happy with them, the cd has 'our' song on, Coldplay-Fix You

Nothing as always, just as I want it.

Two cards, because he couldn't fit all the writing in one, and a mini sweet tree with marshmallows and love hearts.

He did suggest making me breakfast in bed this morning, but I pointed out that I'm a total *** at 6.30am and he can barely function before 9, so it was probably doomed. So instead we're having breakfast in bed for dinner this evening!

I've not got H a card, I'm not writing on here what I got him instead (cause he lurks on here occasionally!) but it's something a little bit more personal that he can keep. It cost less than a card too

Oh Claire what a sweetie your H is! ?

Bloody hell! I disappear for a few days and came back to this!

I feel like I've landed in some alien fluff land. I'm off again!

??

Guessing you didn't get anything then Tricks?

OH is away with work today and not back till tomo ☹️

BUT I came home last night to a bottle of wine and flowers!!! ?

Haha I know! But you must stay all the same.
