Re: Valentine's Day - what are you giving your sweetie?
I got my wife some lilac bath stuff, a lavendar rose, and a Yoga for couples set, which is very relaxing and quite fun.
She got me a new Apple hat and a tabasco cookbook.

Tria & Malkin - You two ladies exemplify the extremes for typical women, at least as I've seen them. Tria sounds more traditional, i.e. enjoys (superfluous to guys) roses and gifts (several small ones are better than a big one, eh?). Malkin qualifies as a guy's dream low-maintenance (meaning thinks more like a guy) woman.
Take notes gentlemen. You'll see both in your lives.

Re: Valentine's Day - what are you giving your sweetie?
mine's getting a bottle of wine, and we're going to dinner.....we're supposed to buy each other matching jewelry-something-or-others, but were not spending a lot due to a trip to vegas next month.

Re: Valentine's Day - what are you giving your sweetie?
Screw this VD crap. I'm celebrating Singles' Awareness Day and getting loaded and then trolling around the supermarket freezer aisle, near the ice cream. Then, when they kick me out, I'm headin' over to the Blockbuster to troll around the Romantic Comedy section. Like a lion, you always go for the weak and injured members of the herd...
(just kidding... I've got too much homework tonight... in fact, I'm not scheduled for sex until 2052 when I retire).

Anyway, I digress. I don't mean to hijack this thread with rants against consumerism. It's wonderful when people take any opportunity to show love, and that I truly believe.See, I can agree that it can be kind of wasteful. But if it's a way for people to show that they love each other, then I think the last sentance in the most important part.
It'd be different if somebody thought a massively expensive piece of jewlery were requisite, but that's not the case here.
To be even more of a curmudgeon, does anybody realize the evil that is going on in the diamond trade and how much human misery involved in getting that pretty rock onto the gf's finger? Not only did the diamond industry create the apartheid system, but even today in various diamond producing countries people are having their arms, noses, legs chopped off by machete wielding gangsters to further the diamond trade. But the diamonds are pretty. Ohhh, look at the shiny rock that you spent ten thousand dollars on! How many people got their arms chopped off so I could get this trinket? who cares, it costs 10,000 dollars! I love you!
No diamonds from this guy. She gets cubic zirconium and likes it. That way I get take a moral stand AND don't have to spend a lot of money.

actually, rather than buy jewelry (yawn), why not treat your gf to a mac mini?

Actually, you're dead wrong. Gifts embarass me, and I'd rather just spend time with people I love than receive gifts from them.
But I think Malkin's attitude of "gifts are a waste of money" is totally misguided.
