My husband bought me a DVD this year of Fonteyn and Nurevey dancing Swan Lake together. Marvelous! Non-fattening, too. 
And you?
My SO got me…absolutely nothing! And it was WONDERFUL. I’ve never been a fan of the “Hallmark Holiday” aspects of valentine’s day, and I’ve finally found a gal who’s like me. The lack of pressure that often comes with the day was great. I find small things done for no reason much more appealing then a prescribed day o’ stuff.
Valentine gifts are best delayed. Wait until the weekend after. Who, after all, has the time to go around spending money on over-priced flowers and chocolates on Feb. 14th? Wait until the next weekend, when the prices go down. The sentiment is the same. The sentiment should be the same evey week. I like to make my love every week; why wait until Feb. 14th?
Actually, the best gift is a really good movie-or book.
I was gonna say a series of orgasms ranging from 4 to 6 hours in total duration. I guess that’s not really that romantic though, I guess it’s back to the ol’ chocolate standby. Expensive jewlery seems to be a winner often as well, but who really finds a large outlay of cash to be romantic?
I’d rather get the lady a card that expressed the right sentiments, have a flower arrangement delivered to her at work, cook her a meal that she could die for, engage in her favorite early evening activity, and then enough her-centered sex to make her forget her middle name.
Unless I’m greatly mistaken, which I almost certainly am, there is no ONE best gift. It’s all about the series of events, and the overall experience. If she feels special, needed, sexy, loved and fulfilled, I’d say the job was done well.
A book about dog behavior. Im going to get my first dog this summer, after a two year hiatus in dorms/dorm apartments. Ive always loved learning about why dogs act different ways, pack mentality, training exc, and so I find this MUCH more thoughtful and romantic than a generic box of chocolate.
Z. R. Test made me this, um…thing. It’s a bit hard to describe. He attached together a bunch of cards of different sizes using these little photo clips, and inside each card there was a love poem he’d handwritten in.
It was absolutely the most thoughtful valentine anyone has ever given me. I had to take a picture so I could put it back together after I’d read all the sentiments.
