Me, personally, I'd just like her to be freshly waxed!! Lingerie would be a nice addition, but I'm OK with or without it.

I prefer thoughtfulness over anything. Meaning, if we had kids and couldn't get away for a long while and you arranged for someone to watch the kids and got even just a clean motel room for the night - that would be sweet. If we weren't parents yet or they were older and we had more time to ourselves, giving me something you know I've wanted but didn't want to spend our hard earned money on would be thoughtful. That's what matters to me - the intent and the thought.

Every year I give my partner what he most wants:  permission to ignore V-Day.

Yes!  A massage would also be great.  Alas I believe we have no sexual thing that would be a favor, what we each like to receive the other likes to do.

For my man, so far I'm thinking lingerie, a fantastic massage with all the bells and whistles (music, candles, warm massage oil, clean sheets), and some homemade granola. He's a health nut, eats granola and yogurt every day and I want to make him some from scratch with everything he likes. I'm also baking super cute sugar cookies in a variety of heart and kissy shapes with the fancy colored icing and decorations. I'm sending those to work with him, to share with the guys in his office, and also to communicate to them that this is what you get when you get a good girlfriend. Hopefully it inspires them to aspire to something higher ;)

Other guys may differ and I  don't want to be picking on you, RS, I know you put a lot of effort in, but if I am honest, as a man here, this sounds a bit too much like the Kathy Bates Misery character..….Not that you are going to trap him in a cabin and incapacitate him...but just seems over the top...and may weird him out...

Hopefully you don't take it the wrong way...

We go over the top for each other all the time and both love it. Neither of us is "normal" ;)

We tend to do cards, chocolate, and sex. All mutual. I can wish for whatever I want I suppose, but that's what I'm likely to get. I'm not complaining though, as it works pretty well for us. 🤗

You seem to enjoy picking on me! But I can take it, feelings aren't hurt, so go ahead, get it out of your system. I'll take it as a compliment, like the boy pulling the girl's hair on the playground 😆

Sounds great... I found my girlfriend's favorite cut of meat (its this rib cut steak - on sale) last week. So I picked them up, I asked her how that sounded for Valentines Day and she said "Yummy" and gave me the "green light" for that to be Valentine's Day dinner.

After reading your post, I think I'll make some sugar-less (heart-shaped) cookies with splenda for her... add some red food coloring to make them festive!! 

Thanks for the idea!!

I'm trying to figure out what to get my husband.  And my other partners.  My husband isn't really into V-day, since our anniversary in January means more to him.

Kathy Bates? Lavishing someone with love is as far from abusive as you can get. Good food and lovin have never weirded him out, quite the contrary.

I'm also baking cookies for my department at work. That was my original impulse for the baking. People bring stuff all the time, I saw the cutest cookie cutters, and I haven't brought anything in a while. I love this stuff, and my friends and lover seem to appreciate it, too.

If you were my fella, I could try to be the ice queen you'd rather have!

He gets that all the time. (And it goes both ways.)

I have asked this one before - seems like generally men do not like to be "spoiled", I am an "acts of service" gal so I feel ya.

In the past when I have cooked elaborate dinners etc - it's not that he didn't appreciate them, but I get the vibe he would just rather I relax and be with him rather than try to spoil him.

This year we are "staycationing".

I took Friday off work, he booked a nice water front hotel. 

It has an in room hot tub to enjoy, plus I'll make sure he gets a great massage. 

I am looking forward to riding the ferry across the bay while taking in the City lights and enjoying some wine and great company.

I'll dress up and look my best - he likes to show me off. I'll also get some new lingerie etc. 

Just some nice time to be together and destress from work and whatnot.

Probably order in some sushi or something like that. Restaurants tend to be nuts on V day so we avoid them.

I'll make some of the arrangements as to take the pressure off him.

Quality time and a nice mellow day seems to make my guy happy.

So true!  Left to himself, my husband would live a very austere life.  He focuses on spoiling us instead.  I think the only things he has a weakness for are gun stuff, tools, and cars, and perhaps high quality tea.  I'm always hard-pressed to find something for gift-giving occasions.  He seems content to just have us physically present where he is, but I try to do that daily.

I get the strong impression my guy hasn't been pampered much before. He totally eats it up and gets super turned on when I do it.

This is our first Valentine's together. I think I'll just ask him what he'd like. He's very practical and would like that, I think.

Look if she is happy with what I did for Valentine's day (presents & dinner), then I'm happy.

I'm a simple man with simple needs (and wants).  I usually receive a card and sex.  Couldn't ask for anything more, I'm quite content!!

I have a question for the ladies, here.

Let's say your guy gives you a present for Valentine's day (not flowers or candy) but an actual present (item). Do you want it gift-wrapped??

I always take the time to carefully wrap (in festive wrapping paper) all the presents that I give.  I try to add a bow or ribbon.  Oddly my mother taught me this as a very young man. (I guess it has stuck with me all these years) She told me a woman loves to tear the wrapping paper to get to the gift.

So ladies, do you like to tear and rip the wrapping paper to get to the prize or do you just want to be presented with your gift??
