Holidays - January 2007

It seems for every holiday we have, we have to run out and BUY BUY BUY, SPEND SPEND SPEND, GIFT GIFT GIFT...

It seems so artificial..."Here I got you some chocolate and jewlery to prove I love you!" (because everyone knows I can't display my love for you with my attention, time and care:it's just that I really can't be a man and live up to that expectation of my character) "Oh, thank you, you're so sweet!"(Even though I'm so fat I can't eat these chocolates so I'll throw most of them away, and this jewlery is so ugly and the diamonds are so tiny, I'll only wear this once a year, like on our anniversary)

When will we simply stop with the phony gifts and start celebrating the holidays with some honest to goodness emotion?

He just asked me out today, but we have known each other for 6 years. He plays guitar but I don't want to get him something for that. I don't know, but nothing generic. Well, it could be like chocolate but it has to be given in a weird way. Like a weird package. Argh.

Guys, what would you want your girlfriend for a month to get you for Valentines day. And don't say sex. No.

I need some ideas of something I can get ready for my husband ahead of time for a Valentines gift. Nothing too elaborate or too expensive. Thanks for your ideas!

We all enjoy having the day off work and throwing a few "snags" on the barbie... but when you stop to think about the true meaning of Australia Day what comes to mind?

It will be my 16th birthday, and it needs to be under $350. Any ideas, themes, ANYTHING would be really appreciated! BTW, it can't be outside because of the freezing weather. Like themes, places, games that were fun, etc.

We have been together for 5mts on the 25 of January. I am 17 and he is 15 about to turn 16. He races cars and loves country stuff. Loves anything with racecars and chocolate. That is really all I can think of.

on sunday my boyfriend told me that now he has been promoted we have been invited to a posh valentines ball on feb 14th.

he said its a really posh event so i would have to get an evening gown to wear and have my hair and make-up done professionally and we would have to stay in a hotel over night as its in a town just over 100 miles away from where we live.

as you can guess i was really excited about this ive always wanted a posh dress and somewhere nice to wear it to since i was ill the week of the school prom.

then he said "but since its 6 days before my bonus comes thru we cant afford to go as even if we hire out our outfits we cant afford to stay over night anywhere."

i was really disapointed by this. we never do anything romantic on valentines day.

why did he tell me this event was happening?
what should i do?
i dont think he understands why im upset.

In comparison with guys posting about "what do I get my gf/wife", women asking about their bf/husband are far outnumbering the guys here. Do you notice how women make things so much more difficult than they need to be?

I'm just wondering about this preoccupation and need for "advice".

Haha..my boyfriend is not romantic at all. So I was thinking about getting him some beer and a Best Buy gift card. Is that really cheesy?

My husband and I do not celebrate Valentines Day. To us it is a forced holiday that has no real meaning. We are kind and loving to one another 365 days a year and share special gifts when we want rather than on 14 Feb.

What about you?

We have been dating for about a year now and it is going pretty darn good. I got her some real nice earrings for X-Mas so it doesn't necessarily have to be Jewelery.

FYI - - She is 24 years old.

I was thinking about getting her a signed picture of Dave Matthews because she likes DMB (I dont but thats besides the point).

Any good ideas???

I want to knock her socks off!!

Thanks for the help!!

I want something special to do for my husband this year. We usually go out to dinner and a movie but I want something this year that will stand out. He is always doing things for me and he deserves this.

Is it to gurley to buy a man flowers or ballons? This is a question that I struggle with also. I would like to hear what others think.
