adiatu Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) It's friday and haven't ordered anything online yet. Any ideas for last minute valentine gift? Also, how the hell do you remember these dates when your gf is expecting a gift - not just valentines? -A Edited February 12, 2016 by adiatu
d0nnivain Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 You put the dates in the calendar on your phone with reminders a week in advance. As for a gift, you go to a store. Get a card & a heart shaped box of chocolate. Viola! You are all set for Valentine's Day. No fuss. No muss. Have a good time. 1
Cinnamonstix Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 First, what's your lady's love language? If its: -Words of affirmation - if she appreciates words, no matter what else you decide to do for her, make sure you get her a card with some heartfelt words from you. Or tell her verbally. -Acts of service - do something nice for her like draw her a romantic bath -Receiving gifts - give her a thoughtful gift tailored to her personality -Quality time - spend the day with her and have a good plan -Physical touch - hold her hand, give her a massage Of course, doing all of the above throughout your relationship would be ideal. Depending on her primary language(s), she will be most touched if you "speak her language". Just some things to keep in mind on the consumerist's day of romance. 1
Author adiatu Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 @cinnamonstix From experience the language is more like 'as seen on tv' : flowers+chocolates+dress/jewellery Its not the buying I mind ... its just the bloody hassle of finding something each time! ( and on time) I wish someone just did it for me -A
ses Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 It really is the thought that counts. You don't have to go the traditional route, honestly. Some girls want flowers and/or chocolates; others will be okay with a card or a phone call. Some people don't even celebrate the holiday, and that's perfectly fine. This will be my first Valentine's, and my partner's company is all I want Anything else is a bonus. 1
Wewon Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Of all of the holidays, Valentines day has always been the "easiest" one of them all. Traditionally it was a card, flowers and/or chocolate and usually a nice dinner or something. Its the original Netflix and chill holiday. It sounds like the bar has been raised for some of the younger crowd and now it seems to be more of a source of anxiety. As far as remembering the days, write them down,OP, write them down.
