valentine's gifts

[befsquire]

i think i'm probably one of the few women on the planet who does not want flowers on valentine's day. it pisses me off that they charge 80% more for flowers (roses moreso than others) that one day of the year. fuck you, florists!

all i want is a lovely card, and a long make-out session. by candle light.

whatchu want?

[Randetica]

ill get a huge heart made out of chocolate

from my mum

[befsquire]

oh, that reminds me. i've also specifically forbidden bobby from buying any of those heart shaped boxes full of the various chocolates (like whitman's sampler, for example), because there'll be 20 pieces that suck, and 3 are good, but you don't know which is which until you bite into them.

[TAL]

We don't really celebrate that day here, because we are unloving people.

haha i know what you mean
mine will be just straight out chocolate i think

even more pathetic that i had to ask my mum to buy it for me

i never got anything for valentines day especially not from guys

[na§tee]

randy, you should have said! one of us woulda sent you something! back in the dark ages brodie and i swapped friendly valentines postal greets just for the craic. it was fun.

my boyfriend normally makes a big deal out of any annual expressions of love because he's a big dork and you have to understand he only sees me about twice a month, if that. i have every champagne bottle he has ever given me on my shelf, aging and smelling of hangover. hah! so he will probably expand to that collection of different varieties this year.

he is taking me to cafe mao (www.cafemao.com/glasgow.html) for dinner at the weekend. i have work at la bibliotheque before though, so i will probably be shattered and fall asleep in my chilli squid. then we will come home and i will beat him at mario kart. on sunday i think we're going to take a trip outside glasgow, probably to helensburgh or something, to eat chips on the pier (seriously) and then go to a pub quiz! i wanted to go to the trident base at faslane and perhaps see a protesting tommy sheridan and george galloway and a nuclear submarine or two but he doesn't think this is romantic, ha!

only some of these events are explicitly tied to it being an unofficial 'valentines weekend', hah.

i <3 you all.

[Kid Presentable]

We refuse to acknowledge it.

[Pres Zount]

Susan pretends to acknowldege to be happy when I get her something rubbish.

[Kid Presentable]

I usually just share the chocolates she bought me lol

[Randetica]

you shouldnt ask for presents, just be happy when you get em without having to blow someone before

my mum bought herself and everyone else the chocolate heart aswell
feels good to be special!

[Pres Zount]

You can't blame me if there are some missing when you unwrap it. Chocolate is pretty tasty.

[ms.peachy]

Mr.p and I usually go out for a really nice hot curry, but I guess probably not this year. I suppose we could try to find a babysitter, but I don't know that I care to. Valentine's Day isn't generally that big a deal to me; I don't go in for the flowers and all either. Just big expensive piece of jewelery will be fine, really.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I don't really wait until Valentines comes around to do something for my lady, I do it year 'round (y)

[fraserallison]

a good steady fucking is what my bird will get

haha thats so sweet
i would kiss and cuddle my future bf to death if that happend

[Kid Presentable]

Didn't Saint Valentine carry around a dachshund?

[Pres Zount]

haha thats so sweet
i would kiss and cuddle my future bf to death if that happend
Now I can't do it. Thanks :mad:

I may have to get a dachshund. that sounds like a good idea.

[na§tee]

oh, i forgot to say what i would do for him. silly me! :rolleyes:

i am going to clean my room.. properly. ish. um. maybe. and i am going to clean my bedding! i mean, it's a big job! with conditioner and everything. and i may have a clean towel for him for once.

i'll make him a bacon sandwich in the morn. THE BEST BACON SANDWICH IN THE UK BETTER THAN FREEBASSER'S YOU BETCHA BACON SANDWICH. i might let him play zelda for longer than 10 minutes. you know, that sorta jazz.

[Pres Zount]

Hahahaha. loling on several sentences. I really have no idea yet.

Ok, susan just told me "It's just valentines day, I'm not fussed" - Help me decipher this one, guys!

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Seeing as Valentine's Day is on a crappy day like a Wednesday my hubby and I have a nice saturday planned.

He has paid for me to have a pampering morning at a spa (so looking forward to this as I am seriously stressed out at work at the moment) and then we are sending Ava off to my parents while we go out for dinner and go to the cinema.

I have bought hubby an xbox 360 game too. I'm such an old romantic... :D

[Kid Presentable]

Buy her a headset.

because of the death cuddles? they are not as bad as they sound like


dont try to bite the dachshund too hard

[icy manipulator]

i'm having dinner with a friend on valentines day so i'll probably just get her one of those chocolate roses. they're pretty cool.

[monkey]

i want SOMEONE to remember i exist. i almost dont care who, as long as someone tells me "happy valentines day" and maybe gives me a hug. and if they're cute and kissable, maybe a nice smooch.

if it's the someone im crushing on, hopefully he'll more than smooch me. but i highly doubt that will happen.

oh wellz. im the person that buys a pack of those vday cards and a whole shitload of individually wrapped chocolate and i give out chocolove to all my homies. <3

[na§tee]

awww... i think that's really sweet! do you keep your cards too?
it's more decorative than cute, but thanks! :cool:
i don't keep cards, naw. oh, i kept one that he made with chalk that says "you are the sunshine on my cloudy day" because it was cute. that's it.

i hope you get your valentines smooches, pauli!

[beastiegirrl101]

We refuse to acknowledge it.
!

plus, I'm not a flower gal either.

[QueenAdrock]

I don't really give a shit about Valentine's, but I told Brett we'd do something special just because I'd be up there anyways. So dinner and a concert on Monday.

I'm giving him a webcam too, so he better put out. :mad:

[jabumbo]

i'm the one who goes to the store the day after and buys all the chocolate for half off

so everyone gets chocolate from me after the fact



i'll take/give a few hugs and kisses if i can get em though

[kll]

I said to the b/f last night, "we're not doing anything for Valentine's Day, are we?" he said, "uhh, yeah!"

He forgot to go grocery shopping after I gave him a long list of items to buy, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

[beastieangel01]

nothing.

maybe a make-out session but really, I want that everyday so valentine's day is no exception.

[Rock]

I fold up $100 bills to look like roses, and give a bouquet of three dozen of those.
I actually put an extra duct tape petal on each duct tape rose of the dozen i gave my woman for our "anniversary" years ago for our "we officially are a couple anniversary". Which will now change to our actual wedding anniversary this April. Did that even make sense?

Fuck a valentine's day. I tried the whole dinner and gift thing the first year...and we realized it was ridiculous...since we always go out for dinner and always buy each other random gifts at random times.

I was going to buy her one of those Chocolate phones this year since you are supposed to buy chocolate or some shit and its our first valentines day as a married couple, and then I realized the radio, television and the yentas at work got me thinking of participating. So instead I bought her some gaming nerd t-shirts that I gave her 2 or 3 weeks ago. And they say romance dead...pfffttt.

you two are probably my favorite couple of all time.

that still rules. I take back what I said. THAT'S what I'd want for valentines day if I were going to ask for anything. But only once to say I did it.

(y)

[The Notorious LOL]

it should rule. I'll post how it goes.

kll's grocery list:
it's Coke, not Sprite.

You obviously don't know me at all.

dude, that needs its own thread. there's a ghetto ass white castle down the street from my, how convenient

i'm so fuckin' jealous of DDD at this moment.

I loathe valentine's day. Not because it's a load of commercial nonsense, but because for me it's always been a day of depression. The whole world seems to be filled with love and happy couples and I'm eating crisps on my own in my bedroom. :(

I also never had a prezzie, but this year I would like it if a certain person would just let me know he cares. And it would be even better if it wasn't in the 'just friends' way. Meh, I hate being ''just friends'.

That's what you get for being 'one of the guys'. I've hung out with them so much they no longer see me as a girl but as a sort of dude with boobs.

[b-grrrlie]

In Finland they made it into "Friend's day" cause we ain't into that lovey-dovey stuff, but they wanted to milk it anyway. Here in Sweden they've been trying to forcefeed it into our throats, with loads of cards and heartshaped jewelry and bloody expensive roses (I've worked at florists and it was ridiculous, but it was the wholesellers who put the prices up for that day).

I've only once gotten a sort-of Valentine's card, but that didn't really count. I've received a few roses, but that's only cause my birthday's close by.

On Valentine's five years ago I saw Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for the first time and been in love with them ever since...

[Schmeltz]

I also used to feel all sorry for myself on Valentine's Day - until I discovered its true magic: guaranteed no-questions-asked meaningless sex with anyone else unattached (preferably a recently dumped cutie on the rebound), without the hassle of gifts and chocolate and shit. Here's to the lonely hearts club!

Hahahaha. Schmeltz for admin!

[befsquire]

ok, so it seemed to be frustrating bobby that there was nothing i wanted for valentine's day. so, i thought very hard about it and came up with the following to help him out. i do not need any of it, and i stand by my original post, but if you want to purchase something, here's some stuff:

a coconut cream pie from perkins

tigi joystick lipstick (http://www.bellezzaskincare.com/products/tigi/joystick.php) in cool. feisty looks nice too, but it's hard to tell online.

ralph lauren romance (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P6463&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=1164)

and i just got a new camera, so a case (http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=LCSWF&Dept=cameras&CategoryName=acc_DIAccessories_DICarryingCases_DCC ases) to put it in would be cool.

[cosmo105]

one year i got a 36-piece assortment of vegan chocolate truffles in a heart box. it was amazing. but i got a little possessive of it. i dreamed one night that steger had eaten all of them and when i woke up i groggily kicked him.

[DandyFop]

Valentine's hasn't even really registered on my radar this year. I keep forgetting it's coming up actually. Hey, I think if people use it for a good reason like reminding their loved ones that they care about them, why not.

I don't even know what will be happening. My parents are gone so I'm hoping to get friends over for a dinner party and Guitar Hero.

[mp-seventythree]

I bought Jenn's valentine gift at the start of December. There's a cool ceramics and jewelry gallery near me, and I got one of the artists to make a cool pendant and necklace. I picked it up last week, and it's pretty feckin cool:cool: (y)

[ggirlballa]

This weekend, Tricia asked to get her a badass set of kitchen knives. Should I be concerned?
deeply


i like the corny stuff like flowers a teddy bear & chocolate(y)

or just a simple hug

[Nivvie]

It's so close to our wedding anniversary, and if we do Valentines day we'll have run out of pleasant things to say by the anniversary.
It's also very close ot the anniversay of 'being together', which is half of my freakin' life this year, so I'm feeling old and don't want a card to celebrate that.

Awww, that's sweet though.

My best friend got married on valentines day and the roses for her bouquet were quadruple what they should have.

[hpdrifter]

I want an engagement ring.

[Genocide Tulips]

I like chocolate and sex on that day. Nothing more, nothing less. And when I say chocolate, I mean milkyways.

[QueenAdrock]

^Holy shit I like the way you think!

[befsquire]

milky way is probably one of the worst chocolate bars ever. nougat? who the hell thought that up, and figured it'd be good to pretty much make a whole candy bar out of that and barely cover it with chocolate.

reese's are the best. followed closely by take 5 (the one with the red wrapper).

See, I hate both those chocolates.

There's something about Mars' chocolate that makes me addicted.

[Randetica]

milky way makes me waaaay milky

[QueenAdrock]

Take 5 is pretty good.

But personally, I'm a sucker for Twix. And Reece's Pieces, holy shit. I can't stop eating Reece's Pieces once I start. I wish Dairy Queen made Reece's Pieces blizzards. That'd be beyond amazing. *drools in keyboard*

[Genocide Tulips]

Now I want a soft serve Dairy Queen icecream...

a good steady fucking is what my bird will get

That reminds me of that time that you said a good steady fucking is what my bird will get.
