We bought each other a condo at the beach. We settled last weekend. I did have to go to the grocery store to get a prescription this afternoon. Lots of guys with flowers and chocolates. The best one I saw was a guy with flowers, balloons, Diet Coke, and a tube of cookie dough, lol.

I get him a card. He will probably complain that I didn't buy it at the Dollar Store, so I spent too much money . Which is why he will get nothing else.

I got DH and DS red tins from the Target Dollar Spot and filled them with varieties of miniature Hershey Variety Pack chocolates. They each got a card and DH got a card from the dog and the cat.

When we married five years ago, I told him he'd get a pass on Valentine's due to fact that we are both gifted out after Christmas followed by BOTH our birthdays. His love language is gifts though so it's hard for him to do nothing, therefore we finally agreed to a card and a token gift. This year I got him an "I Drink Bourbon and I Know Things" t-shirt and he got me a book written and signed by a local author along with chocolate-covered strawberries. Plus we both exchange sappy cards.

My DH is getting a card and a shirt I found on the 70% off rack at Kohl's. He was with me when I bought the shirt, so he has already tried it on and is excited to have it. He has bought me flowers and a card, something that I know is a book, and we treated ourselves to an ice cream cake from Coldstone instead of chocolates this year.

We exchange token gifts. I got him his favorite chocolates and collar stays with gps coordinates for home. He travels a lot for work and always needs collar stays. He got me flowers.

I got him a tub of cherry jelly hearts. He likes that kind of candy. He got me a card and a Whitman's Sampler.
To tell you the truth, Valentine's Day is not anything I feel I need to celebrate. I do buy my adult sons a small box of candy with a picture on the front of something they like - like one looks like a baseball and one has a puppy on it.

We stopped all the gifting years ago. I never knew what to get him and he wouldn't buy me anything unless I picked it out. It was just swapping money. We only do gifts for 'big' birthdays. So I did a card for him today. He usually writes me a poem for all Christmas, birthday, anniversary and Valentine's but I think he forgot today. He's been super busy this week getting stuff done as he has to go in for some surgery next week. So I think I can let him off the hook.

No. If gift exchanges are to happen I have to get up and go buy the gifts and wrap them and make a production out of it so I said screw it and ordered myself scrapbook stuff and didn't tell him. Happy valentines to me.

For us Valentine's Day is a reminder to spend time together as a couple and focus on our relationship vs gifts. Over the weekend we went out to dinner, did a paint night and then dessert. Today is just a normal day.

Sometimes and sometimes not. Really depends what's going on, if I have a good idea, if he needs anything.
This year we happened to book a family vacation yesterday for spring break, so dh wrote enjoy vacation location in his card to me. I didn't get a card for Dh, but I bought him a box of chocolates and just finished making him a special dinner for him and I.

Yep, a Big Hershey's kiss. He got me a small bag of dark chocolate covered blueberries and a six pack of my favorite yogurt as he knows I'm trying to cut back on sugar. We don't do big on VD but we do acknowledge the Day and each other.

We just decided to go out to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and let it go at that. Our cat had to go to the vet today and that ended up being over $200 so we just figured that we had spent enough and did not need to buy gifts. After being married for over 30 years, gifts aren't that important. Having each other is a gift in itself.

We don't do a lot for Valentine's Day. This weekend I made a cream puff dessert for my husband. He was very happy to have a full pan of a favorite dessert. I was also willing to have sex with him.

My DH wanted a new model a few weeks ago, so I ordered it for him and in the email from the Hobby Link website I said, Happy Valentine's day. It came last week, he asked if he could start building it before V day I said yes! I made him a card as well, he found a very nice one for me! He isn't great a buying gifts so he likes for me to either go along, or to go shopping for myself. He even reminded me yesterday! I got a new pair of pink jeans and a dark jean jacket. I will make dungeness crab later this week when I have a day off. But tonight is was homemade hamburger soup with the kids and DS's GF.
