flameburns623 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 And may the men and brethren in your lives render you the love, honor, and respect you each deserve!Remember that St. Valentine was a Christian Saint.And--Eat. Much. Chocolate! 1
MorningStar Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Happy Valentine's to you too! I'm skipping the chocolate and saving it for my birthday in two weeks. But I told my husband he can buy me some fruit. 3
Tacenda Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 What do men like to get on Valentine's? And I already know they want a lot of love and affection, but gift wise? I don't always get my husband a gift, but he'll give me the flowers, chocolates, or what not. I really want to know. 1

flameburns623 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) A more respectful answer: figure out something to do together which he really enjoys and you like doing, once-in-a-while.Buy an hour for two at the gun range if he likes to shoot and you enjoy it periodically. Or the archery range or the tennis court or the ski slope. Or Winter Worlds Of Fun. Or whatever.If gunfire makes your head hurt then--not that. If you SUCK at tennis and hate it, then--nope. Do something y'all enjoy doing together. It's YOUR Valentine's Day, too. It isn't a penance.If money is the issue: break out or borrow a toboggan and hie to the nearest snow-covered hillside. Guys especially like DOING THINGS with their significant others. The flowers thing is nice but--usually feels kinda 'girl-y'. Of course you might have a florist create a "floral arrangement" of cheeses, sausages, barbeque sauces, chocolates, and whatever other goodies your fella enjoys. Hope this less humourous response helps! Edited February 14, 2014 by flameburns623 1
Calm Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I looked up male floral arrangements thinking they might have come up with one with cheese, etc. didn't see that, but did see chocolate covered potato chips and now I have a horrible craving. Curse you, FTD.
Tacenda Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Great ideas guys! Sorry if I derailed when I asked for them. I just wonder if for so many years I took it that it was mainly a one way deal, with the hubby/boyfriend giving to the girl. Just thought I should be the one giving also, I usually always write in a card, or sometimes buy garments/socks/cologne. But the suggestions given sound fun, I'd love to go shooting! There's always next year. Happy Valentine's Day to a great group of peeps! Edited February 15, 2014 by Tacenda 1

Calm Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Brilliant.I love the fondue idea....we have our own that never gets used...maybe next year. Add in mini angel food and pound cakes and we have a winner.Though I would hark back to Kindergarten and make it for the whole class (family) and just have in addition a special valentine for my true love.

strappinglad Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 " maybe next year" . There doesn't need to be a holiday to do something special. Personally , I resent being required by culture to give someone a gift. When I give something it is WHEN I want to and not out of obligation. Next year might be too late. Try next weekend! 1
altersteve Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 What about us dudes? Happy Valentine's Day to us too!
