Girls love Valentines Day. Guys...not so much. It's just the corporations forcing you to spend more money. But we're in a recession this year! So, who's using that as an excuse for a cheap Valentines? :o
 
Actually, there are a ton of articles and websites devoted on how to celebrate Valentine's Day on a budget. It's even been on the radio.
 
One normally needs a Valentine to have a need for a Valentines Day excuse, right Catman? :huh:
 
I already ordered flowers for my wife so no excuse here. :o
 
The economy hasn't really hurt me that bad because I'm poor anyway . I'll still pull off getting something nice though.
 
Not an excuse, I really don't have the bucks to buy what I want for loverboy. :( I'm best under pressure, so tomorrow I shall begin looking. :/ I already know some of the things I'm getting from my valentine, very practical gifts, and I appreciate that. There's one mystery gift that I haven't gotten any clues on.
 
Last year I was flat broke but made my girl a super-girl symbol valentine with macaroni shells and glitter.

she loved it.
 
As much as I would have liked to you; it would not have sit well with me to do that.
 
Valentines is a load of bollox anyway. I'll just make my missus her favourite meal; stuffed peppers and pasta :up:
 
all you have to do is rob a medium jewelry store once and you're covered for every Valentine's.
 
First person who can give me an idea for what to get my wife wins a special prize.
 
get her a day in the spa of her choice and then take her out to dinner. If you can stay in a hotel that night.

Remember some obscure conversation you had with her months ago about something she really wanted or really wanted to do.

then arrage said activity.

As for me, partner's off to goa today, i get off scott free.
 
Kinda sorta. I didn't buy any elaborate gift but I did buy tickets to see Turandot at the Philadelphia Opera.
 
Yeah I don't put out on the first date. :(
