Valentine's Day: coming up next Sunday.

Anyone got an idea for something a little special/different than the normal stuff? Now, I realise that we don't want to raise the bar to ridiculous heights, nor spend huge amounts of dosh, but perhaps there's something we could do other than a restaurant/choccies/flowers?

All ideas welcomed, as my brain isn't coming up with anything new at this stage.

Dinner that you cook yourself, followed by a drive to Glenelg after nightfall, with a ride on the Ferris Wheel, sharing a glass of champagne as the stars come out. Followed by a walk up Jetty Road to get Andersens Ice Cream, which you both then have as you walk along the beach, barefoot in the sand. From there, a drive to a nice cafe to have a coffee/hot chocolate, before a slow drive home, listening to Nigel Kennedy or the like, before home time

Been married 17 years ... over it!

keg of beer?

Mrs Pseudo has managed to completely forget Valentine's Day for the last 2 years. Yet I know that if I forgot, I'd be sleeping on the sofa.

What's Valentines Day

been defacto more than 18, over it as well (a loooong time ago!)

I'm actually leaving town for a few days leaving Mrs Fatty a bed to herself (hopefully!!).

So many lines..............so much temptation...........so much discipline not to respond

Ah the biggest benefit of being single - you don't have to deal with Valentines Day

A top effort if you do all that, but blimey, I was kinda hoping not to raise the bar THAT high...

Nor lower the bar QUITE that low...heh heh

for something different and given i work sunday nights, going to the botanical garden movies, and its hard for me to buy flowers as my gf makes bunches etc, so i always feel if i buy them she looks at them in terms of style and costings and not appreciate them for what they are - well thats my excuse anyway!

Suggestion....

Get into the spirit for starters !!

Cook a meal for her.
Include a yummy dessert or valentine dessert like cheesecake with icing hearts.

Set up the table as such - (and have it set up before she walks in so it's a surprise):

Normal dinner setting.
Rose petals scattered over table.
Candle/s (red)
Love heart champagne glasses ($2 at cheap as chips!)
A single red rose on her dinner plate setting.
and/or a small teddy that simply says "I love you"
Romantic music in the background
Champagne

It doesn't have to be expensive - but it does have to be thoughtful.
Do you love her - then who cares if it's commericalism, blah, blah, blah - just do it
Besides think of the brownie points !!

well A MUM everyday in this house is valentines day
