kiss_andmakeup Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 ScienceGal's post about V-day reminded me that I wanted to pick the brains of the men (and ladies) of LS for some ideas. The traditional Valentine's day paraphenalia is so feminine...flowers, chocolates, jewelry, heart shaped cards. So besides just a nice card and some great sex, what are some nice little things a girl can get her man for v-day? Guys, what would you like to receive from your girl (let me again emphasize...BESIDES SEX!)? My BF works so hard, is so busy, and still manages to be probably the most thoughtful partner I've ever had. He does so many nice things for me and I appreciate them so much. So it would be really nice to make Valentine's day a little more about him.
Philosoraptor Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Something that he mentioned in the past or something associated with his hobbies. I won't mention the item you asked me not to, but I'm sure many responses mentioning it are cuming.
ScienceGal Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 If he is willing and would enjoy... A professional massage. Then have dinner ready when he gets home from it so he can relax.
Onlyjonley Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Oh goody, I just came here to ask the same question ...glad to see it already asked. My boy and I aren't big on V-day but are still going to get one another a little something. I need ideas, as well -- and that don't include video games
Onlyjonley Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Something that he mentioned in the past or something associated with his hobbies. I need to start writing down things my boy mentions he wants. I always forget by the time a dang holiday/special occasion rolls around.
norajane Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Wrap a red ribbon around a six-pack of his favorite microbrew. Most guys would appreciate tickets to a game...hockey and basketball at this time of year. If he likes music, a concert or live show in a bar is also fun. A home-cooked meal usually goes over well. Or a favorite dessert.

Guys, what would you like to receive from your girl (let me again emphasize...BESIDES SEX!)? Do items to improve sex count? Lingerie or other sexy clothes bought by you to be worn by you would be great.
O'Malley Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Books, dvds, cds, a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant or store. Something that he enjoys but hasn't had the time to get around to. A little bit pricier is tickets to a concert or sports event, or a weekend getaway -- it doesn't have to be to some expensive locale, maybe just a road trip to nearby city that you're both interested in exploring.

This is something I'm curious about...do guys really consider this to be a gift for them? Any time I've bought special lingere to wear for my boyfriends in past relationships, they seemed totally un-thrilled by it...they just wanted to rip it off and throw it on the floor. I ended up wearing the stuff for 60 seconds, tops.

I am doing all of the above but would secretly be THRILLED if she had volunteered to do so.

I am doing all of the above but would secretly be THRILLED if she had volunteered to do so. I offer to pay about every other time we go out, debit card in hand and all (no fake-wallet-grab) and he pretty much NEVER allows me to pay (unless it's something little like lunch or coffee). I'm thinking I'll cook dinner, make dessert, and make him a card and a mix CD (we are really into music). I might do the lingere thing too...not sure.

make me believe Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I'm baking my boyfriend special Valentine cupcakes. I'm going to frost them and decorate them all cute. Men love food. So bake him something or cook him an awesome meal. Yes! I did this for my husband when we were dating and he was SO THRILLED. I was surprised at how happy he was by some cupcakes! But he said no one had ever made him cupcakes before and he loved that I took the time to decorate them & be all festive.
thatone Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) the girl i've been with for the last month or so actually brought this up yesterday, mentioned how hard it is to think of something to get for me. i can sympathize. i don't really have any good ideas myself. if there's some sort of gadget or electronic device or something that i want, i probably bought it already. she doesn't have as much money as i do, so it can't be anything i would be 'saving up' for, that would be well beyond her budget. for any date type thing that would require tickets, i always pay for them, and wouldn't be very impressed by her doing so, i'd kinda feel bad about it since we only do those things because i can afford the both of us. the cooking idea is a good one, generally, and will always get good results. past that, honestly, i draw a blank myself. This is something I'm curious about...do guys really consider this to be a gift for them? Any time I've bought special lingere to wear for my boyfriends in past relationships, they seemed totally un-thrilled by it...they just wanted to rip it off and throw it on the floor. I ended up wearing the stuff for 60 seconds, tops. yeah, it's appreciated. it doesn't take long to plant a memorable image wearing that sort of thing. Edited February 8, 2012 by thatone

I ended up wearing the stuff for 60 seconds, tops. Depends on the guy--if they're into it, then yes, they'd consider it a gift for them. Who else would it be for? Women don't typically wear that for themselves. Some of it is geared well towards only having part of it removed so you can still have sex while wearing most of it--such as teddies with garters that stay on while the panties come off. And yea, some guys don't much appreciate it, as you said the guys you've been with haven't. Whether or not I like it is a function of how much I like the girl's figure. My current girlfriend has a GREAT figure, and I'd love to see her in form-flattering items, but she's been not into it to date because she has body esteem issues. I'm hoping to eventually get her past that.

So it would be really nice to make Valentine's day a little more about him. Actually, traditional gifts are only seen as feminine cus our country has made it so. In some European countries guys get those gifts. And look up White Day. Its a holiday in far east Asia where men get chocolates and cards from women. Personally, as a dude, I wouldnt mind cards and chocolate. Especially if its reeses type chocolate lol. Its the thought that matters, and its sweet for you to wanna do something for your guy. In my experience a good number of women fail at romance, but love receiving it. I def agree with the previous posters beer idea. If a gal got me my favorite type of beer (stout) and found me some new obscure brand to try, and put a bow on it...then Im marrying that girl, especially if I end up loving the beer...since I love trying new brews. If she actually took me out for dinner or cooked for me, Id be very wowed. Shed get the best sex of her life that night, seriously lol Edited February 8, 2012 by kaylan
tigressA Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I echo O'Malley's post where she mentioned a weekend getaway. BF and I did that this past weekend for our 1st anniversary. We went to NYC. I booked a nice hotel and we each picked 2 restaurants ahead of time for breakfast/brunch and dinner without telling the other person so there was an element of surprise, and we both got to try new foods. We also went to some museums. It was a wonderful time. If you wouldn't be able to pull off something to that extent, try a day trip.
maybealone Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I always made my husband a heart-shaped chocolate chip cookie. If you don't have a heart-shaped pan, you can use one square cake pan and one round one, cut the round cookie in half, and then put the square one on a platter like a diamond then use the round halves to make it a heart. Frost if desired! However, my idea of an ideal Valentine's Day would be the man buying me sexy lingerie that he wanted to see me in, and then me getting to wear it -- and getting to enjoy the end result.
