It can suck when you have someone. Ever notice how much anxiety Valentine's Day causes? Because of crass commercialism we want to send the best, give the best and be the best...but we always wonder if we measure up.

It bites!

I can sympathize with what you mean.

Erlinda...totally agree upon the commercialism of VD and EVERY holiday...it really is kinda sick.

V-day is my favorite holiday. I don't know why..it's bad every year.

Yellow is COOL!!


How do you live your life...
when nobody's watching?

I love VD for what it represents but also agree that the commercialism of it is WAY out of hand as with most gift-giving holidays.

Its really quite sad that it cant just be kept a simple affair as originally intended.

Anyone know the history of VD?

I never really had a worst valentine's Day gift. I did have a best and strangest one though. I'll start with the strangest one first.

I was a freshman in high school and I was dating this guy who was a junior and on the football team. As I think back to that time, I couldn't believe i never realized how shallow and self absorbed he really was. But anyways, on Valentines Day we decided to exchange gifts. He handed me the gift he bought for me and the box was pretty big, so i was excited to open. It turned out to be a portrait sized football picture of him and a lock of his hair tied in a red ribbon. I didnt know what to say because all i could do was laugh. I broke up with him a week later.

My best valentine's day gift was with my last boyfriend. He cooked my diner at his house, well tried to anyways. I didnt care though because i was happy with the effort he put into it. He bought me a dozen red roses, a teddy bear that read "All I Need Is Your Love", and a charm bracelet. The charm bracelet had 5 charms on it. It had MG heart LM. And I hate crying when I'm really moved because I feel like I'm in some cheesy love movie, so i tried my best to hide how i really felt. He also rented all my favorite movies and we watched them all night. That was my best valentines ever.

It' s gift from me to my one of my ex. We had probably the worst break up. We were both quite immature then so when we broke up, she told everyone that I'm gay. In return, I gave her a dog leash with her name on it.

I know it wasn't the coolest gift by any mean but it seems to fit just fine at the time.

Baby, hit me one more time!

NICE ONE!!! OMG too FUNNY. That wasnt the explaination I was expecting...

Go KnockOut!!!

Ok here's one...I got a ceiling fan for Valentine's Day once. Actually it was a very nice gift, except the guy forgot to remove the left over Christmas wrapping paper on the box.
I got a Christmas reject gift. So sad...so sad.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance - e e cummings

I think the Hobbits called that "mathering" -- a ceiling fan isn't so bad. It's not romantic or frivolous (like Cheeze Dip and Dancing Men!) but hey...maybe the suggestion was "here's something to cool us off when it gets hot!"

As for the Christmas wrap...maybe he figured you would just see tht it was wrapped. Some guys miss those details...

This is the only valentines day present I can ever think of getting...other than the required v-day cards with like WInnie-the-Pooh and Power Rangers on them...

In 3rd grade my b/f (well that's what we calle dour relationship...we were good friends) suprised me in class when I sat down to a huge box of chocolates...I knoew he got them for free from his mom who worked at a CVS or sumthin like that, but nevertheless the gesture was nice...
I think the only other v-day gift I've gotten was a huge heart shaped cookie with pink frosting from my best friend right after we both broke up with our b/fs...it was quite nice, friends always pull through in the end...what would I do without em???

Guess my education isn't complete... I just can't get the love in return...

I'm up and bored, so I am looking to bring back a few oldies...SOOooooo....

WORST GIFT EVER?? Well, my hubby and I have been together for more than 8 years, and I have NEVER ONCE gotten a Valentine's Day gift... And, although a bit off topic, didn't get me a Christmas present 4 years in a row.... I know guys don't typically like shopping, but COME ON!! Gena knows him, he's a dub....LOL

A few years ago I was going out with a guy who (at the time) I thought the world of. (Right... What was I thinking??) Anyway I decided to publish a Valentine's message in our local paper, in the classifieds, along with a hundred other people. I bought him a few other gifts. I woke up early and drove to his house with the gifts and paper in hand to surprise him before I went to work.

I woke him up... got a peck on the cheek and a "Happy V-day!" grumble as he pointed his finger to the dresser. Upon which was a Woolworths bag. Apparently my gift was in there??

WHAT???... no wrapping?? No red bows?? No flowers??

Inside was a wooden lamp stand, sans lamp shade! The best part was that the price tag was still on it, and the reciept in the bottom of the bag!!

It looked similar to this:


I was so ticked off!

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.

One year I got a nose hair trimmer fer Valentines Day. A NOSE HAIR TRIMMER is something that I needed but to get one on Valentines Day could be considered an insult. My wife might as well have given me an enema while she was at it.

I still have the trimmer. It is battery powered. bzzz bzzzz bzzzzz

I work with someone who can be extremely kind, and who can make a career of getting on people's nerves. He can be open and honest or sneaky and back-stabbing.

Yesterday (the day AFTER Valentine's Day) he received a package in the mail. Plain brown envelope. No return address. Three non-cancelled stamps. Addressed to him in perfect printing. Inside was a white rubber rat with little red hearts all over it. It was wearing a tag around its neck that said "Love Rat"

We don't know if it is from a secret admirer or someone he as crossed.

EEEEEEWWWW!

"Omigod!!!I am so much older than everyone here!"

I got my first and best Valentine's Day gift this V-day from one of my best friends - its a poem dedicated to me
