Anonymous V-day Poll for the Ladies

When I say NOTHING - I mean NOTHING - not even a card - the day goes by virtually unacknowledged.

Just thought it would be funny to see how many of us really mean it when we say it.

When I say nothing, I just mean nothing materialistic but a card is nice.

When I say nothing that means spend less than $25, but I better get a card! Chat Icon

Re: Anonymous V-day Poll for the Ladies

we said we were just going to get each other passports and have dinner with another couple, but believe me I was so happy to wake up to presents this morning. I think I would have been a little surprised if he did not get me anything.

Re: Anonymous V-day Poll for the Ladies

We did chocolate and a card and said that was it (but on a normal day I usually pick him up chocolate anyways cause he's a junky). I told him that was it, I didn't want flowers cause they are too much. Well, we both broke our word, but I am happy we did, I made him these cute coat hooks for the bedroom, painted and decorated them myself and he just totally surprised me with my favorite chocolate in the whole world, Worlds Finest and Strawberry Shortcake bubble bath ( I love the smell) which I have been looking for for the longest time. I love when we say nothing, it always turns in to something!!Chat Icon

Re: Anonymous V-day Poll for the Ladies

We don't celebrate it and I get ****** if he acknowledges it. I say and mean nothing! He learned early on I meant it...after I let the flowers he get me die...because that's what they do...they die and they're a colossal waste of money! And I HATE roses!! Chat Icon

I really dislike this day!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I told Vanessa that we wouldn't exchange anything.

But I decided to send roses to her job. I figured its the least I can do for her having to deal with me on a daily basis. Chat Icon

I always expect at least a card and we pretty much agree to no gifts but I always hope that one year he'll go out on his own and surprise me with something but he doesn't. Chat Icon

imo V-day is just a way for people to get you to spend too much money on the same thing you would buy a day later 100+ cheaper

Re: Anonymous V-day Poll for the Ladies

We usually exchange small presents and cards, but I told DH not to get me any presents or flowers this year. I love getting cards from him though b/c he writes really beautiful stuff in them. If I didn't get a card, I'd be pi$$ed. I'm not mad if he doesn't get me anything else.
