Hey everyone,

Valentine's Day is Thursday. Here is the start of a list of some good gift ideas and some not-so-good ideas for your loved one. Feel free to add. I can use some ideas.

Good:

Gift Certificate for a Massage at a nice place
comfy pajamas, silk etc

Not so Good:

Lingerie (lol that's really for the guy)
Household items (vacuums, etc)
Gas station or store bought flowers (seems like a last minute idea at the checkout)
Gym membership (oh my)

This is a good post. If I get a GF by the next Valentines I will now know what not to get her.

Excellent suggestions, Christine. Some men should put more thought into what a woman's reaction to the gift might be. I.E., what does it suggest to a woman when she receives a gym membership?

Great ideas but there's one thing I can't live without and I'm sure a lot of women feel the same ---- chocolate!!!

My wonderful husband sent me some beautiful flowers last year. Which seems like an average gift, but when I got home that afternoon there were over a hundred hearts he had made himself taped to plastic forks in our front yard. It was so sweet. I will always remember it too.He is the best. I loved it.

My most memorable Valentines gift was a set of pliers. Pliers! What was the message behind that? My best valentines gift was a plane ticket to Italy! Good thread here, light hearted (pardon the pun) and fun to read. Maybe a "best and worst" Valentines experience/gift blog to give us singles hope and inspiration.
