Default The Valentine's Day thread/ poll

How many members invest their hard earned money in this "Hallmark Holiday"? I made a poll of this thread just for extra fun, but feel feel to just comment or post pics. Who do you buy for (i.e. more than one lover?!?)

Valentine's is special to me because it represents the end of the "Gift Giving Season" for me. Between Christmas and Valentine's Day, I still have to buy for my wife for her birthday and our anniversary. The winter leaves me really empty of pocket.

I used to send flowers to my wife every year using Teleflora, cuz its convenient. But they really botched the anniversary flowers, so this year I'm not sending any on Valentine's Day. I sprung a few bills and got the wife a nice ring. She'll have to settle for jewelry. I always buy a gift for my daughter (5 yr old) to make sure she feels special and to set a high standard for what she'll expect out of boys later in life...

My wife and I usually just try to have a nice dinner (on a day around Valentine's, not on the day) and we exchange cards.

Instead of flowers, I get her some chocolate covered strawberries.

Valentines Day:

It use to be a big deal wit my deceased wife and I...

However,
Lizzy and I merely say the words to one another on the day and that's about it....

Our year is pretty much filled with different celebrations.. (its a viscious circle) Like you brent it just kills my ability to save any cash.

Hi `Keane, yes your Awesome S.S. counts 4-Sure. I've found that `if you love your Monte, that it will love you back. It's been proven by many owners 4-Sure. Don't give `up on your search to find the right person to share you life. You are young & have lots of time to find, but sometimes it just happens. Good Luck.

Thanks `Brent for creating a Super Thread for member's to enjoy!.

* With my g/f finishing her medical residency we don't get that much time together , but we've been together since we were 5 years old. We give each other `love & share our journey of life.
