Did you get anything for Valentines Day?

[Bluemooninmyeyes1]

My DH ‘doesn’t believe’ in Valentine’s Day so we never exchange cards or presents. I should really stop trying to drop hints after 8 years how about everyone else?

A Chinese from M&S for lunch so no. I got him a funny card as I do every year- this year gavin and stacey. We don't overly celebrate it as prefer to make our anniversaries (we celebrate 2).

Yes, I got a new board game, which is an excellent gift imo. Dp has informed me it is romantic as it's a collaborative game.

We don’t usually do anything but DH thought I’d need cheering up this year; so he’s made one of our favourite breakfasts and ordered in some delicious food for dinner, and he’s bought me some new loungewear and a dress.

I feel a bit bad, I got him a card but didn’t realise we were doing more than normal!

We dont do anything, but your thread reminded me to say happy valentines day to him 😀

Oooo i lie

We usually have a nice tea, and i might make him watch My Bloody Valentine which in theory is a valentines day film

Should add really, in return I got him a takeaway of 8 portions of his favourite cocktail from our favourite bar, plus glass and fancy ice cube moulds.

Later we're off to pick up afternoon tea from the hotel that we should have been staycationing at this weekend! (Stupid Covid )

It's a made up day, so neither of us do Valentines.

Haven't had flowers since March last year though, so I'm long overdue a random bunch.

Not yet as he's asleep still
But when he wakes I'll get the stack of scratch cards I asked for & he will get a CD plus the pork stacks I chucked the the slow cooker early this morning.

We do cards and would usually use it as an excuse to go out to dinner on the nearest weekend, but between lockdown and having a 6 month old a romantic dinner is pretty out of the question! DH broke our tradition of no presents in light of the above and gave me a card game about inspirational women and a book of poetry which he knew I’d love which has melted my heart a little bit. He said he wanted to mark it for a change as I brought DD into the world since last Valentine’s and it’s been so tough with covid restrictions. Bless him - he’s a good ‘un.

We celebrate it but only as an excuse to buy each other a gift. DH needed a new Xbox controller so I surprised him with one for today. (Slightly self serving too because I don't like anyone using mine. It's a limited edition one and they don't make that one anymore!) and DH buys me my fave chocolates and flowers. He does this a lot but it's a guarantee on Valentine's.

I wouldn't be upset if we didn't though. It doesn't have any real significance to us.

We don't really do cards and some valentines we don't bother at all. It just depends what's going on each year tbh.

This year, maybe due to lockdown, we've made a little extra effort.

He bought me some new makeup. I bought some lingerie and new sex toy which arrived earlier this week but I've put aside for tonight.

We'll cook a nice meal together later once the DC are in bed. It'll be something we don't often have so I'm quite excited!

I recieved a card and a breakfast of crepes (my favourite). Was truly a surprise as after 7 years we have never got or done anything!

My DH made me a gorgeous 3 course meal last night, and I got up with both DDs (3 months and 2 years) this morning so he could have a lie in and made him a sausage sandwich for breakfast. It was nice to do something for each other. I usually ignore valentines day.

Flowers,roses and a soft toy. He's making breakfast now.

Exchanged cards and he got me some Freddos as those are the chocs I always ask him to get me if he nips out for milk or wherever 😂 and we'll have a nice dinner later. I think he has done flowers a couple of years which is always nice but we're both not that fussed, find the whole thing cheesy and contrived.

Today is my birthday so Valentines Day kind of goes on the back burner. However, my husband & i exchange cards.

No. Nothing.

Went for a walk, stopped for lunch. Thanks to covid19 we're on gatherings of two. So DH and DC had lunch and I bought a coke and sat elsewhere and read my book. I thought it's okay I'll have the left over pasta Bolognese when we get home.
Got home to find DH ate it before bed last night.

Not in UK , our weather is warm. DH is on my shit list. 😑

I got a card and some chocolates. I got him a card and he's just had a bouquet of sausage rolls delivered! Guess what we're all having for lunch. 😆
We had a nice cooked breakfast as a family, going paint shopping this afternoon, then he'll cook roast dinner this evening, as usual.

Always get flowers and card. This year got chocolates too and a NEW TOASTER! And a heart shaped pancake 😊

We don't normally do anything but seeing as every day is groundhog day, we're cooking a 3 course dinner tonight with a bottle of fizz, and I might even paint my nails 🙂

For the last 20 years dh has given me a card and I have hidden chocolate hearts somewhere where he will find them during the day.

Nothing fancy. Just sweet.

No, we don't "do" Valentine's Day and never have. I think a couple of years ago dh did actually buy me some wine and chocs on his way home from work and I was like 😱 "whoah is this cos it's Valentine's Day?" Bless him, that was sweet. But no, we just do nice stuff throughout the year and don't celebrate VD. Might bake some heart shaped shortbread with the kids later, and I'm treating us all to a full English for tea tonight 😄 so that's the extent of any celebration here

I got a card, (supermarket) flowers and chocolates. I got him a card.
Nothing fancy and we always do cards but neither of us is really bothered.
I take it as an opportunity to make a bit more of a fuss but we don't need v day.

Generally we don't go out for meals anyway as we can't be arsed with all the forced romance, set menus and bad booze.

No, we agreed we didn't want to.

Card, chocs, gin, sex. Perfect. I baked him a cake - our 31st Valentine’s Day, lovely.
