I got her a movie and a cd. I have the greatest wife ever, she doesn't wear jewelry and thinks flowers are a waste of money! Man am I lucky.

For Valentines day I'll be in sunny Florida....so Mrs. Mongo will have to wait until I come home to get her gifts. She is around these forums....so they have to stay secret.

Wink Valentines Day...Bah!

Damn Phat Boy, you are lucky! If I sold my wife's jewelry, I could almost buy another bike. She loves that crap. Big waste of $$ if you ask me. But she thinks the same way about bikes, so there you have it. Junkyard's Valentines day = flowers, a mushy card, leave the kids home and go out to dinner. I have a real bah humbug approach to this holiday. I think it's main purpose is to spend lots of cash to impress the girl you're dating. I've been married (and faithfull) to the same woman for 17 1/2 years. If that don't say I love her, flowers and chocolate sure as hell won't! One of my buddies gave me the best quote. All you anti-Valentines day types like me can feel free to use it. (and there is actually a lot of truth in it) Look into her eyes and say "Honey, I don't believe I have to show you I love you on one day out of the year. I love you each and every day" Works like a charm!

Bought her the two Vera Bradley bags on e-bay she wanted. Probably take her out to dinner too.

Nothing too exciting, but as long as she's happy....

I am about 6,000 miles away from my Valentine so I am having flowers, candy, and a personalized stuffed animal sent via 1800flower.com. I will be home for a month in a couple of weeks. I will be wining and dinning often along with going to Vegas for a week. That should make up for me not being there for Valentines, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. On second thought no I wont, but it will still be fun. Be Safe and Take Care.

Default Valentines Day??

I can't ever think of a time when somebody got me something more than a card. That maybe because I'm not exactly the sentimental fool type. I get embarressed at the thought of it.

And I can't ever remember getting any sweetie of mine anything but a card for the day... all that fuss is more than I can stand for just another day in my book. If you love me... then give me the small things in life on a daily basis that say just that... I always will do the same for you... It's just in my genetic makeup I guess.
Valintines Day??? I would rather see in your eyes everyday how much my being there means to you... it lasts longer.

If by Holiday you mean we get the day off, hell no. Not a bad idea though.

I can honestly say I have never bought my wife flowers and the only piece of jewelry she has is the wedding ring (with no diamond). She's not into that. For Valentines she got a Kitchen Aid Mixer, a DVD and a CD. The mixer covers Easter too! Them friggin things are expensive.

I got sick with a cold and swapped up at the last minute. Got the Ms. tickets to see Montgomery Gentry and Trace Atkins tickets. Got clothes in exchange... not like I didn't need them after losing 40 lbs. I'm happy!

FYI... Valentines Day is a public holiday in the U.S. Tiger, just not a paid one.

My ol' lady doesn't want jewelry but I did get her a card and she will get the rest of her presents when she comes up for Easter. Right now we are about 2000 mi. from each other but she knows how much I care when we talk on the phone.
She would much rather get tools or goodies for her iron head sporty.
