Valentine’s Day is one of those “holidays” that doesn’t really mean anything to me. I know how much my husband loves me, and although flowers are pretty, I don’t need to have them. I like chocolates, but I certainly don’t need those, either.
I do like pink roses; I had them in my wedding bouquet. But our budget is so tight, I’d rather spend the $20 that a dozen roses costs on something more practical like food.
What about you? Is Valentine’s Day a big deal for you? Are you expecting any valentines day gifts?

Nope, not a big deal for us either. I don’t even like roses!
We usually order a nice dinner in, though. I don’t have to cook and we put the kids to bed early.

Well, I do have to make up for a very uninspired christmas, so I’m planning a big night out, ballet, love letters etc.

It’s my birthday on Valentines Day and it used to be fun and cool when I was younger but now nothing special happens. I don’t want flowers,chocolates or fancy dinner, just a nice birthday day. We are supposed to be celebrating on Friday instead, the kids are staying at grandma and grandpa’s house so who knows what’s in store for me. I wont get my hopes up though. I’d be happy with a love letter.

It’s not important to me but I’m blessed with a hubby who thinks it is. He usually buys me something. I always want chocolates instead of flowers. And I love the cards I get. We get something for both of our daughters, just a card and a little something cute.

Free and low cost gifts are the best. Last valentines my husband put notes inside our laptop, inside my cereal box and on the outside of our daughter’s diaper. It didn’t cost anything but it made Valentines really special for me.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean much to me either. I wonder if it has a lot to do with whether you feel loved by the other person. If you don’t feel loved, though, no gift could ever make up for the lack. If you do feel loved, the gift itself is unimportant.

I begged my husband NOT to do anything this year. Suddenly about two weeks ago he asked to take both boys out alone (something he had NEVER done before) to let me shower, rest, and anything else. I knew what he was doing. He went to get me something and although sweet so not needed. He knows not to get me flowers since I hate to watch them die (too much money down the tubes too quickly).
I have since figured part of it out, and some of the other. Today I went out and got him a little something that he’s hinted at. So much for trying to save. I am also making my husband a special something that I am knitting to go with the other gift. It may not be finished in time and he does know about that. Oh well.

I love getting flowers! Valentine’s Day is about the only time of year that I get them, so I relish it while I can. I’m not particular though. It doesn’t matter if they are roses. I just like fresh flowers.
It’s more important that we spend time together alone. We celebrated with a dinner out this past weekend while our kids were at a birthday party. That’s a rare occasion so we enjoyed some alone time!

It’s not a big day for me. It’s the same as any day, I end up drunk in the gutter, albeit with a pocket full of Valentines Day cards…

I’d like to say I would perfer to do without, but I can’t…call me silly!

We’re weird people. To me, something romantic is building me cold frames for the garden, or buying a vacuum (which the hubby did the other day to replace our old, sad, no suction one).
That said, we’re getting a brand spankin’ new king-sized mattress delivered on Valentine’s Day (which we got for half the price we expected for an Englander latex mattress!). Didn’t realize it until after we got home, either. So now I’m teasing him about breaking in the new bed. *snort* Yeah, may not happen with the darn 24w belly in our way.
i wonder who came out with this idea?
in fact i hate vday! worse day in the year
We don’t really care much about V-day. We just use it as an excuse to order out and not feel too guilty about it.
“Hey, it’s V-Day! We HAVE to order out tonight!”

I’m certainly not expecting anything this year – we usually just grab something to eat or go somewhere together.
I’m glad to on these types of products. I like a more organic lifestyle for my life.
Personally, I like anything that takes a bit of effort. A planned night out (even if its something we might have done otherwise), a note someplace unexpected… When we were first married my (now ex) husband would often go to a lot of effort to buy a nice card and write a personal note in it.
