Are you expecting a gift/romantic gesture or do you not care?

DH and I already talked about this. I'm not expecting anything for Vday! He'll be traveling and won't be back til Wednesday anyway.

I don't need a present... but I will be disappointed if he doesn't give me at least a card. It doesn't need to be fancy or expensive (we're not even going out to dinner) but just something to recognize the day.

Nah, I told him not to get me anything (though I would appreciate a card). We only rarely get each other gifts for Vday.

We're going out to dinner, and I don't expect or want anything else. We never exchange V-Day gifts, just dinner out.

We don't do presents for V-day. Just cards. I like the cards! Hubs writes the best things in them, very sweet.

I'm expecting a card. I loveeee greeting cards and start searching for a nice letterpressed card on Etsy mid-January for my husband. He's not as much a card enthusiast, but he always goes to the "nice" store (i.e., Hallmark, not the supermarket) for a card for me, which I love. He may get me a gift, but this year we are in super money-saving mode for future-baby, so I'm not expecting anything.

I won't be upset, we are usually pretty low-key but I do hope he will make a card or maybe get me a box of chocolates nothing major!

Hee hee, we don't celebrate Valentine's Day at all, so I certainly hope he doesn't get me anything. I'd feel so guilty for being empty-handed!

Nope! For some reason, I'm not a big fan of valentine's day. Well... it also might be that hub's birthday is 2 days after and I rather celebrate the day he was born and how special he is to me rather than valentine's day Just like @autumnlove said, it's just another day.
admin / watermelon / 14210 posts
nope don't care at all! but we'll probably celebrate it this saturday since it's easier to get childcare during the day on sat than an evening weeknight esp with 2 kids!

no. we'll have a nice dinner together at home but that's it. i definitely expected romantic gifts while we were still dating - now that we're married and expecting - my priorites have changed. i don't even want a birthday present this year even though he keeps asking me what i want! i want to save our money for a new car and house.

we exchange gifts, just little tokens or things we need but never buy for ourselves (I got hubby a fleece, sweatpants, and a book on Micky Mantle since he loves the Yankees as a "surprise")

We have never really exchanged gifts or cards or even made a big deal of the day - my thing is, I love him like crazy every day, and I like to tell him all the time, not just V day. But last year he got me a present! This year, we have an 8 week old, since I didn't have it together enough to get DH a Christmas present from baby, I got him a Valentine's present from baby instead. I don't mind if he gets me a gift, don't mind if he doesn't.

i don't care at all. v-tine's day is not particularly special to me.

Valentine's Day has always been a big deal for me since I never celebrated one before Rob Sr. and I got together. I'm always big on celebrating holidays. I was also always big into presents before having a kid! I used to demand my present several days before. The past few years I just wanted a really cool, nice dinner since we never got to go out anymore, and one of my favorite things to do ever is go out to eat. This year Rob Sr. made all kinds of reservations for me to choose from as usual, but I said "oh, it'll be too tough to find a sitter, let's just skip it." Other couples celebrate and singles like to go out on v-day together, so finding a sitter is impossible. So I just emailed my friend who likes to sit for RJ from time to time and asked her to pick a day in February or early March when she'd like to babysit. She actually picked the 15th, so we'll be going to dinner that night.
I do not expect a present this year (and I don't really want one... if we do presents we usually shop together because I'm sick of all the clutter in our house and only want things I know I need/want!) but we are actually about to leave for our joint birthdays/v-day present to each other-- our spa weekend in Newport, RI!!!
Rob Sr. usually does send Winston Flowers to me on v-day though. This year I'll actually be at work and have a cubicle to display them in! That will be nice.

No, I won't be upset. We usually stay low key for V day.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
Nope, we're pretty low key for this "holiday." ill be traveling next week anyways. It was sweet that he said he would take me out for Valentine's Day this weekend, though. and by going out, I'm talking Chipotle or Chinese food.

It's my birthday on Valentine's Day. I still have no idea what I want and it's in a few days. I got him a food scale since he's been wanting one for awhile. It was more a gift of opportunity than anything else.

Nah. We used to go all out for Vday when we dated and in the early years of marriage. Now we just go out and enjoy a nice dinner and movie and that's good enough for me.

Chocolate and flowers, and he gets pork tenderloin with fig, prosciutto, and sage stuffing, mashed potatoes with pork gravy, and spinach salad with candied pecans, dried cranberries, some form of cheese, and honey-apple vinaigrette, served with Cabernet. He only gets me flowers on Valentine's and my birthday, so I'd be a bit disappointed.

I wouldn't be too upset. But I already know he'll do a little something, I don't need anything big.
persimmon / 1465 posts
We don't do presents but do exchange cards. He writes the most amazing things in them. I also expect he will give me flowers as it is something he likes doing. I'll be kind of bummed if he doesn't.

We do a small exchange on V-day, it isn't a huge deal, but I enjoy it.

Nope. We haven't really celebrated Valentine's Day in years. This year, however, I'm getting him something but its because I wanted to do it and V Day just happens to be around the corner. He lost his wedding band on Christmas Eve and we still haven't found it (its in our house...somewhere). So I secretly re-ordered his ring last week and I picked it up yesterday. I was going to surprise him on V Day (because he's not expecting it at all), but I might give it to him tonight when he gets home....we'll see!

We don't do valentines day in fact, we're generally the one's baby sitting so everyone else can go out!

We don't really do anything for Valentine's day. This may sound cheezy, but I'd prefer DH show me that he loves me everyday in little ways instead of spending money on Valentine's day
