Honestly---My oldest daughter's bday is Valentines Day! (I know--Awww, how cool is that!) So it's always been kinda her day and valentines day for the rest of us is basically cards and candy while we have cake for the bday girl!!

I wouldn't assume my husband was running around if he gave me a sappy card. There would have to be a lot more going on than that to make such an accusation!Okay ladies, I want to ask your opinion. Do women really prefer to get those sappy romantic cards over the funny (snoopy) cards for Valentines day? I'm asking before I go buy this years card.
I've been married (to the same women) for 24 years and I've known my wife since the 8th grade. I think that after all these years of funny (snoopy type ) cards my wife might think something is going on if I came home this year with a romantic card.
Wouldn't you think, he's up to something or he's done something he shouldn't have?
But a card, dinner out and flowers every year I'm sure is getting old. I've cooked many of dinners at home also but that doesn't mean anything because I do most of the cooking.
My two boys and I prefer it that way, if you know what I mean.
Maybe I'll look into a toaster oven.
Hahaha That may be a good point!If your main concern is whether to pick out a snoopy card or a romantic card...perhaps its time to start thinking outside the box.
Honestly, I think it's nice that you're putting so much thought into this!
My husband will wait till a week after and say, "Wait, when's Valentines Day?"
BIG NO on the toaster oven gift idea!!
.
Now most men on the other hand are usually only looking for one gift on Valentines day, a gift that he never complains about getting year after year, but that gift is always better if her gift is special.
I may have to settle for socks.
I don't know---it's looking like a night out is getting some points here!! Give her socks with hearts all over them (if you can find them) and slip a hotel key/card inside of it!! ooooo I'm getting better!!
Thank you, ladies of the AW Bouncy Castle.

I'd like a home made coupon book, with promises of wonderful things to come. Laundry, dishes, dinners, hugs, kisses, etc.This reminds me of the year I spent working in a factory office. Come Valentine's, all the women I worked with were PISSED with their sweeties. Why? Because the poor slobs gave them the flowers at HOME, instead of sending a ginormous bouquet to work where the girls could really show it off.
I tell yah, with some women, you just can't win. But I bet butterbean didn't marry one of those!
What about a scavenger hunt? I do those for my boys on Easter--the eggs are hidden with clues about where to find the next one. Get her a bunch of small things--a single rose, a little box of chocolates, a copy of a menu from a fancy restaurant--and hide them.

Have you thought about combining the gifts?Honey, I'll bet that's fun for her to have a holiday birthday, but one day there will be some poor guy that gets killed when he tries to combine both Valentines day and her birthday into one gift.
On top of my Valentines day delima, my wifes birthday is February 17th.
Have you thought about combining the gifts?
That's just downright Have you completely lost your marbles!?
You want poor Mike to be into little pieces?? His wife would hang him or him to death!!
Bad dragon...you must return to you lair and come back with something a little more loving!!
yay for stickies...!
It always reminds me of those gummy hands my boys used to get out of the vending machines. You stretch them and fling them and they stick to walls. Until they get so covered in dust and cat hair that they don't stick anymore.
So I think of all our brilliant observations, clinging to the wall somewhere...
