Absolutely nothing! lol
We never do a thing for Valentines Day - it's one of those holidays that we find too commercialised. We would rather make a bigger deal out of our birthdays. |

DH is making me breakfast in bed, and I'm making his favourite dinner!
I always tell him not to buy flowers, as they are so expensive on Valentines day, but he always does. Hopefully this year he'll realise how expensive they are on one wage! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We will be doing the same as kebakat. We never buy on valentines days, I would prefer hubby got me something because he wants to not because some day tell him he has to. ------------- Abigail 06/01/2005 Jayden 21/11/2001 Micheal 03/04/1997 |

Well this year I am planning Valentines day and he is doing our wedding anniversary and next year we swop.
I am planning a nice cooked meal for when he comes home. Then a little spice book. It is a calander with some tokens. He can place the tokens on which ever day he wants. Is stuff like preparing his favourite meal. Or some more ooh la la stuff. Doesnt cost anything plus it comes from my heart so not commercial at all but have all the meaning. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We're not really buying each other anything, however, we are going out for dinner at a nice local Indian restaurant since it is also our first wedding anniversary (and have arranged for someone to babysit). ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

We're doing nothing either. A couple of years back we spent the night at the Duxton in a suite with a spa etc. and did the whole romantic dinner thing which was nice but neither of us are really all the fussed on that kind of stuff. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

We have never really got presents, usually we have dinner or something like that. But this year we will go for dinner on the Friday night - that way I won't be yawning over my food, and we can use our entertainment card! (Becasue you can't use it on Valentines day). -------------

We are going to have a picnic in the park and then we are going to the Stardome to look at the stars. He doesnt know what he are doing - it was my turn to organise something this year.
We dont really buy into the whole commercial thing - but use it as an excuse to do something nice together. He is very good at organising suprises for me, so hopefully he will enjoy this one. I am a bit worried about what picnic food to take (am a bit paranoid about what I can and cant eat at the moment!)...but am sure will figure it out! We do cards - but not normally presents. |

We don't do Valentines' Day as our 4th anniversary is on the 22nd... seems to be a common theme lol
But we're having a nice, low-key anniversary night together this year. Wine, chocs, cheeseboard and probably a rented movie. Mostly inspired by having a new baby in the house  ------------- |

Normally we do nothing as it seems to be something for the new relationships. This year though we got a free dinner for 2 at the place where we got married so I told Hubby "We should use these for Valentine's Day" he was agreeable to that suggestion. I was feeling awfully like not cooking the other night so I said "Let's use these babies tonight!" and he was like "No, they are for Valenine's Day". Aww my hubby is my Valentine! ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Leish, I love that one. We don't do Val day. But I will have dinner made or brought for me as i'm not allowed to do all that much at the moment. However if I have this baby on Wednesday then I will most def be getting something from him and my present to him will be another son. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We are getting nothing!! Because Hubby does not believe in it!
He said that "my Valentines day is our wedding anniversary". So we are going to go away on the 30th of march for a weekend away...for our 5th year anniversary!! YAY! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

hehe same here Roksana, DH and i have just thought that theres not much point in celebrating V day because we just celebrated our wedding anniversary 3 days before then! (yesterday )and we tend to stick to the 1 day for all those mushy things we got married 1 year ago on the exact date that we first started dating 7 years ago for the special significance and so we only have 1 date to remember! lol
Yesterday we went to the lake and hubby was clowning around with his brother and mate so i said to him "try not to die today because it wont be nice timing" and his reply was "At least youl only have 1 date to remember for everything!!" and then he had a good laugh!! what a way to think of it!!! 
whoops that was a bit off the subject! lol |

I got DH the who wants to be a millionare PS2 game, a clinque for mens skin care set and a giant toblerone with a rose. The Toblerone I will end up eating, the skin care set is basically for me too as hes starting to let himself go! The only thing really for him is the PS2 game
For the night we are getting our favourite italian place to deliver and watching 'the devil wears prada'. I know its commercialised but any excuse for being spoiled and taking time out for ourselves is fine by me ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Well hubby totally surprised me. We were looking at jewelry for his sisters birthday (21st). We saw a nice locket necklace and I told him I always wanted something like that when I was younger.
And this morning he jumps out of bed and brings it to me. aaaah he remembered. (although I am doing Valentines this year). ------------- http://lilypie.com">
