Valentines Day

[EagerGreenShaker]

What are you buying your partner for Valentines Day?

I have been married for 30+ years..... I have never bought my partner anything for Valentine's Day 😂 is it really a big deal for adults?

A set of booked that he LOVED as a child.

Hard to get. Had to but 2nd hand. Efforts were made.

Nothing as I’m not 12 or an Influencer 😂

Nothing!

I thought buying Valentine's presents was for teenagers.

Absolutely nothing. Complete waste of money.

Nothing. We’re adults.

Nothing but he's taking me out for lunch on Friday as Saturday will be busy (or more likely he wants to watch the rugby) and I'll cook him a nice meal on Saturday night.

A vinyl album that I know he wants and a card.

Two CDs that I would have bought him anyway. Last year I got him slippers!

Nothing. Presents are for birthdays and Christmas. Easter, Mother's/Father's day, Valentine's etc are cards only.

A bee keeping course

Nothing with a bit of luck. It’s a complete waste of time.

Well, I shan't be celebrating my wedding anniversary but I will make sure my dog has a lovely tea.

Ah it's just a bit of fun! DH and I are together over 20 years. I have a card for him and a box of his favourite (dark) chocolates. We take any opportunity to lift a day out of the ordinary / mundane 😃

My partner, who is don't live with, generally sends me some letterbox type flowers. I don't get him anything!

I agree with the poster who said it’s a bit of fun! My partner always gets me flowers and another small gift, I’ve got him a gift bag and filled it with all his favourite sweet treats. We were in a shop a few weeks ago and saw a little game, a pack full of “couples conversations starters”… little things like “if you lost me in a supermarket, what aisle would you find me down?” So we’ll probably get those out after he’s cooked us a nice dinner!

Same.
It's never been a thing for us.
Can't stand all that stuff.

A card. We've neen married for 23 years and have never really done Valentine's Day.

It was either that or a beheading course, right?

I've got him a card with artwork of a steam train - it's not an actual Valentines card, I got it at the station on a recent heritage railway trip while he was distracted photographing a train.

Nothing and going out for dinner Friday night , not Saturday when the prices are doubled.

A card and a box of chocolates. We'll go out for some grub and a few drinks. Anything more involved than that is for teenagers.

A painting.

A card and I will write a lovely message inside and DH will do the same. We may eat out or we will do a ‘dine in for two’. We used to buy gifts when we first met but that was a long time ago (we got together late teens). Now it’s hard enough finding a suitable present for his birthday (he never wants anything!) let alone made up events!
