What do you WISH you were getting for Valentines?

[annsteere]

Inspire me. If I had a great idea, DH would go for it.

Right now he is making and cleaning up my favorite meal: sage chicken.

If my dh was cooking to cook and clean for me that would be enough He wouldn't though so I can still wish for a gift. I would love this in red

I know I'm not getting it, if he's going to get me anything it will probably be a Pandora charm. I'm not holding my breath for that though.

Something 9'yrs married 14 Years together first date was on vday bday 4 days after vd and he sent Claire jewlery a necklace with CZ stones (we can afford much better) he is away at work so lots of alone time to get something been gone 6 weeks has 2 more to go I have a now 3 month old at home n a 3 year old n he *****es about how little sleep he gets when he goes to bed at 9:30 and gets up at 6:30 (says the wind keeps him up.... Try a 3 month old buddy). Also asked me yesterday if it's ok that he isn't doing anything for my bday thought the 10$ necklace was good enough .... Hope he's enjoying the computer I got him and the "full yard raking" I paid for so he wouldnt have to rake this year. Also note last year on our 9 year anniversary when I was 5 months pregnant he also got me nothing and did nothing. I hate February always depresses me that he can't do at least one nice thing at least I have the crap for necklace to give to dd and he also sent her and ds a small toy still hurts claims he spent hours looking don't know if I believe it

Sorry for venting on ur thread I'm a little mad rt now

So my answers would have to b for my husband to actually do something instead of just thinking about doing something and then blaimin me for being too picky as his excuse (I'm not pickey but Claires is crap)

I hope I am getting some books and a disney gift card. I am sure DH will get for me. We are going for dinner in the aquarium next to the moon jellies . He usually get me roses and jewelry and I am hoping for something different this year. He is pretty good with leaving little notes around the house and making breakfast in bed at least once a month. .

My husband gives really good presents as far as stuff... he knows what I want more then I do... but he sucks at anything romantic. Case in point he proposed to be in his bedroom with a ring I was with him when he bought... I was fine about the ring part that wasn't so important to me, but he didn't even ATTEMPT to do anything special. (and I know its petty but a part of me is still annoyed about it.)

I would LOVE if he did anything romantic at all, candles, flowers, breakfast in bed, a nice dinner somewhere we don't normally get to go (he knows of a few places I would love to try but since my husband doesnt like anything upscale I'm afraid to try and have him hate)... any one of these would make me extremely happy.

I've been married 12+ years, and I think this happens more on soap operas than in real life. I could be wrong... As far as my DH, he will get me flowers once in a while and we have gone to nice dinner before. But we are on ultra-save mode right now, so I asked him not to get me anything. I did pick up some Choxie at Target on the 90% off clearance at Xmas, so I guess we can give each other that. Good luck to all the ladies for a nice V-day!

Tickets to Totem!

We gave my parents tickets to Totem at Christmas. They do so many little things for us, and are taking our kids for 1 1/2 weeks in September. My mom has always wanted to see a Cirque du Soleil show. And after seeing La Nouba last September, I totally understand!

We were wishing we could have purchased another set of tickets and go with them, but money's too tight right now. Perhaps by end-June (if not sold out) and we actually do get our Visa paid off by then (as currently planned), we can treat ourselves to Totem as a wedding annivesary present.

I keep dreaming of an iPod Touch as well...

I WISH my husband would make some effort on his own. It doesn't have to be much, but I don't want to have to order my own Valentine.

I really want an Edible Arrangement of chocolate covered Strawberries

I'd like to go away with my DH. And since it's a dream, how about a romantic getaway to Disney, just the 2 of us.

Really though, I would like to go away for a night. We have only done this once because we don't have anyone to watch our 3 kids, but they are almost to an age where I think I could do it for a night if we stayed nearby. We have only been alone twice since we had kids. Well, 3 times if you count the night DH spent with me in the ER a few years ago. We went to see Seinfeld once and my friend took the kids. It wasn't the plan for them to sleep there but they fell asleep so she said leave them. We had to pick them up at 7am the next day though cause they had plans, so it wasn't that great. 2 years ago DH was Best Man in a wedding about 8 hours from here. We did get to go away for a couple days, my grandparents came and stayed with the kids. While that was amazing, it was very busy with all the wedding stuff. I'd like to just get away with him. Nothing to do, just relax. It won't happen since I'd be nervous about leaving the kids, but maybe in May when we celebrate 20 years together. MAYBE by then I will get over my nervousness.

I am so silly, I love Valentines Day. Everything we do is simple, but I love it!

Swear I'm not stalking you from the other thread!!! I want the same bag in saddle, or the mock ostrich finish in brown.

Last night I was complaining my running gloves were missing, and he offered to buy me a new pair for Valentines. What girl wouldn't love simple cotton gloves for a romantic holiday!! I may just go to the Dooney outlet after all!!!

A few years ago I told dh I wanted a Dooney bag for V-day. I showed him what bag because there is a boutique store near his work and I knew he wouldn't be able to pick one out and I didn't want him to be sticker shocked by spotting a real expensive one first and then walk out . Of course he never went so I drove myself to the Outlet and bought one myself. Its not the one I had originally picked out but its one of my favorite bags.
Go to the outlet!!!!

I agree with Suzanne any gesture or attempt would be wonderful. While I always say I am not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day but I would like to receive some reminder that I am loved by my husband. Christmas and Birthdays I always have to spell it out for him, or actually just purchase what I want. I just want one day where I don't have to hold his hand and show exactly what I want. Especially this year since he just came home from deployment it would be nice to have just a few moments of the day that was about just the two of us instead of our daughter, the dogs, the house, the bills, family, military, and everything else in the world but us.

I guess I will see what he comes up with, if anything. I really love receiving fresh flowers so I would be thrilled if he did that for me

 

[cdsulhoff]

All I want is a back rub!! you all can have the flowers, candy and teddybears! I just want a real nice back rub and some time alone with him!! Having a 2 year old makes alone time HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CTdiznymom]

I'm not holding out too much hope for V'Day. My poor DH was shoveling and wrenched his back. Dr.said no activity and gave him "happypills" . Oh well, one missed Vday out of 31 isn't so bad.

 

[Carrie772]

My favorite gift is date night at a restaurant with awesome food but slow service so we can talk for 3 hours!

 

[Gina]

For Valentine's, I wish for someone to actually be my Valentine.

 

[DCLbrideSept2009]

What I want goes against all Valentine's Day gift "rules".... I would really love to have a Nutrimill so I can grind my own flour. And then possibly a bread maker. And a nice Kitchenaid stand mixer. Yes, I would like KITCHEN APPLIANCES!

BUT... we have so much going on right now that we aren't doing gifts for VD this year. We have a Disney trip coming up in June and then we're trying to squeeze in a kid-less quick trip back to Disney in October. We also are trying to get a new Tempurpedic bed at some point in the near future. So kitchen appliances have to be put on hold. We also just bought a new Dyson (well, DH did)... we adopted a Golden retriever in August who sheds like CRAZY... DH has really been wanting a Dyson and finally got it.

If we can squeeze about $250 out of the budget at some point in the near future, I will get my grain mill. That's what I want the most out of the 3. But it won't be for V-day. Then my birthday will be during our June trip, and I'll get another Disney Dooney then. If we weren't going in June, I might ask for another one for V-day.

I have made hints, left brochures (with discount coupon code) in his recliner, everything and he ignores me. Now, if I didn't get him something, he would be quite upset. I wouldn't mind if we had children even, because I see Valentines as being more for them anyway, but since it is just the 2 of us and because he proposed on our first Valentines Day together, I like to be treated special.

He had to be prodded for my birthday and for Christmas too. After 10 years, I should be used to it, but I'm not. My mom would always take him by the hand (figuratively) and get him to do something for each holiday, but she passed away in 2008. My cousin got him to do something for my birthday last year, but she has her hands full with her family right now.

One of these days I guess I will give up. I know he loves me, but dang, I want something more.

This happens in real life! My step-dad does thing like this for my mom all the time. DH has done almost all of it. And FIL does the same for MIL. Dh plans date nights out of nowhere at least once a month. An he makes a huge effort to make any holiday special even when he is deployed.
