a nice CD walkman
a really nice dinner at our fav indian restaurant, The Electric Lotus.
:loveya:

I gave:
a POD (bought from a DUer- thanks!) which is a really great guitar effects processer - http://line6.com/productDetail.html?model=4
and something else I will let your imaginations run wild with...
:evilgrin:


what did you get?

[sniffa]

1. nothing too big

a pm from LDS jock.

i'm very happy with it.

[SarahB]

2. I took the guy I'm allegedly divorcing out to lunch.

In this dress...



I figured I can sit around and sulk today or do something nice and share some good memories and Indian food. Since I had no other date or plans today, I chose the latter. We had a nice time.

Plus, I hear my boys are buying me chocolates. :P

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. I bet he looked silly in that dress.

[SarahB]

6. He would.

I, though, was smokin', baby!!!

I rather enjoy looking like a hoochie at times thank you. :7

[Freebird12004]

18. Great

:evilgrin:

[Richardo]

3. Gave: a Meyer lemon tree (her request)

...plus a garden ornament and a cool valentine latte mug. And I'm making dinner tonight.

Got: Don't know yet!

[Jessica]

Keeping it simple this year ...

I got him some candy - a bag of green M&Ms :bounce: and some Sugar Daddies. He sent me flowers at my office - daisies with one red rose in the middle. And tonight, we're treating each other to a very nice dinner.

How's the Cocoa stuff? Sounds yummy - I recently got some of their "Tutti Dolci" products in Cinnamon Frosting & Angel Food Cake. It's good stuff. :D

[RaleighNCDem]

7. Mmmm...

The Tutti Dolci stuff makes me hungry!

[Beaverhausen]

9. the COCOA scent is really nice. it's kind of spicy

not too sweet. It's part of the "Pure Simplicity" line.

I love that place and my honey knows it. He is the greatest!!!

:loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

4. I stole some candy from the cupboard

[traco]

8. I bought candy for the kids' classmates

solid heart chocolates for the teachers, and am taking my kids out for dinner. (actually, they are taking me out...I give them money to pay the bill). Though this is going to break me...I have been unemployed since October, and get very little on unemployment.

I look forward to getting a job so I can donate to DU and get my star! How much do you need to donate in order to earn a star anyway?

[Red State Rebel]

10. 2 dozen roses

After 13 years of marriage I figure it's not too shabby.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

11. hmmm

I got:
Nothing yet (dinner tonight, however)

I gave:
U2 tickets for one of the dates in Philly (hubby does not know yet), found through eBay.

[Beaverhausen]

Got: chocolate rose, chocolate dipped strawberry, a dried rose...and vodka :evilgrin:

[sniffa]

17. mmm vodka

[catmandu57]

14. Combination anniverary/valentines

Marshmallow got an antique cameo pin, and a braclet of her choice, I can't tell you much about it, I just opened my wallet, but, it was something she wanted.
She gave me a couple of dvds, Logans Run and The three Stooges, and is taking us out to dinner tonight.
Oh and I bought her a rose, I used to get her a red rose for every year we'de been together, plus a white one in the center for the one coming, but, that just got too damn expensive so we mutually called that off.

[flamingyouth]

15. He got a cool little watch that has a map of the London Underground on it

The second hand says, "Mind the Gap."

I'm getting taken to Austin and out for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. :D

[GOPisEvil]

30. I'll be driving by there this evening!

I'm having dinner with my folks this evening.

I'll wave! :hi:

[flamingyouth]

54. You HAVE to go there

We sat in Willie's Corner, the waitresses line danced, it was truly a sight to behold. (We went with Neil's brother and sister-in-law.)

A truly unforgettable Valentine's Day if I've ever imagined one. :D

[AlCzervik]

16. i got a card from my husband and i gave him 1

He also brought me back some stuff from Prague, he just got back late Saturday night.

[johnnie]

19. Nothing

It's been a long time since I got anything or gave anything for Valentine's day. It doesn't bother me like it does others though.

[MissMarple]

20. Happy Valentines Day!

:hug:

[johnnie]

29. Awww

Thank you.
:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. A bag of Reese's cups for MrG (and me as a side gift) and candy

[MissMillie]

22. My boss gave me a heart-shaped container full of sachet.

I didn't give anything, but I gave my son money to get his girl something.

[Beaverhausen]

23. kick

[KinkyDem]

24. I bought my girl a ...

lap dance Friday night.

And I bought her a snoopy doll dressed like the devil.

What can I say ... I'm a romantic.

[derby378]

36. Okay...

Was said lap dance from a man or from another woman?

[EstimatedProphet]

25. The traditional...

I gave:
an arrangement of 18 tulips, with a balloon, delivered to her office
Box of chocolates
a card
dinner at our favorite Indian restaurant

I haven't gotten anything yet, but she's still at the office

And we're both giving each other a trip to Vegas in a couple weeks.

[guitar man]

26. I got her this

http://store1.yimg.com/I/everythingfurniture_1833_3979905

If I said what she gave me. it would get the thread lcked. :evilgrin:

[Lady Effingbroke]

27. bupkus.

zilch, zero, zip, nada - just like every preceding Valentine's Day.

It sounds like you had a wonderful day, though - the dinner at the Indian restaurant sounds fabulous! :9

[bif]

28. Bottle of champagne for my wife

And boxes of chocolates for her and my two daughters. And I'm cooking dinner tonight.

[bugslsu9]

31. I didn't buy anything

Instead, I made her a chocolate souffle with hot fudge an d homemade vanilla nutmeg cream. We had this on our honeymoon, and, surprisingly enough,it came out fantastic. I set up our living room like a picnic, a blanket on the floor, pillows, the fireplace going. I had it timed so that the souffle would come out of the oven right when she got home from work. In case you were wondering, I did this on Friday night because she closes tonight.

[Beaverhausen]

33. WOW! That sounds great

You should give lessons to other men on how to really romance a woman.

:hug:

[trof]

32. Gave: yellow roses & card

Got: Valentine chocolates and card she made on the computer.
Miz t. is not a computer whiz, so this was a real labor of love for her and I am duly impressed.
The yellow rose thing is because she's from Texas.
Years after I'd started the tradition, we learned that in the language of flowers, yellow roses mean infidelity.
Oh well.
;-)

[no name no slogan]

34. Sent her a dozen red roses, and bought her some Cubes

www.cubefigures.com



Unfortunately I'm home sick today :( , but I took her out for dinner on Friday, too.

Her birthday is on Wednesday, so I've got another big day to worry about this week, too!

[Beaverhausen]

35. cute cubes! Hope you feel better

and kick

[bigwillq]

37. A card, flowers, HE bought me lunch and made me dinner

Then we drank the bottle of wine that I bought him and well...

we did our thang!:evilgrin:


I had a wonderful day.

I hope all of you did too.

And if you didn't, don't worry, V-DAY is really an overrated, commerical holiday that has no meaning at all.

[Lady Freedom]
