Why don't you get something for yourself at Victoria's Secret? It's like its for him but its really for you.

This only works if you don't live with your parents or with roommates who will be home...

I'm not worried aobut that, his roomate is his uncle who is like a big bro and....well...yeh.We get our time alone all the time.

However, VS is for skinny girls, which I am not. :(

Get him tools.

Get him a tool he can use on you. Like dphies00 said: Its like a gift for him thats really for you . . . :p

Oh, and those kind of tools come in ALL sizes . . .

Hey-I'm not skinny either & I find cute things from VS all the time. If you don't feel comfortable there try Cacique or Lane Bryant. Better yet-take him along with you & let him pick it out. :)

Aw. Now just come on out and admit it dude, you want a teddy bear for V-day. :p

No seriously, never get a man a teddy bear. Not even if he does have the rainbow on his car and kisses boys. Cause thats gayer than kissing boys. Seriously, I know a few super uber gay dudes and they wouldnt do that. The first thing he'll wanna do with it is trash it. Cause its stupid. If he was a 12 year old girl, JACKPOT, but hes not. Its one more thing on his bed or on the floor that hes gotta move around and make sure to put out when you come over or fear pissing you off.

You really wanna give a gift thats got all that crap drama involved? He'll hate ya for it. I PROMISE. I would.

Some day women will stop thinking of men from their perspective and elevate themselves to a higher plain and finally understand men.

When that day happens, about 97% of the question threads in the dating and relationship forums on GC will cease.

Us guys are stupid. Ya'll make isht about 100X harder than what it needs to be. Seriously. Its not rocket science.

I wouldn't say "higher plane", but I would agree that men think on a different plane than women (in some matters). Once people understand that there really IS a difference between how the sexes think, there will be less confusion.

That said, stereotyping either sex is a sure way to end up not understanding anyone!

This post is a serious burst of intellegence and wisdom. Y'all need to memorize it and refer to it frequently.

Whats odd about it is this: Men seek to please womenromantically by doing something men know women find romantic..

Women seek to please men romantically by doing something that women know other women find romantic . . . .

Thats a sublte but importat difference. You might want to read those convoluted statements a couple times.

In other words, your boy shouldn't be giving you tools, a car part, or sports tickets on V-day and likewise you shouldn't be given him photo collages, teddy bears, or flowers. :p

You know what I got my man for V-day last year?

A case of beer. PBR.

BEST GIFT EVER.

Women do get selfish when it comes to gifts in a relationship. Somehow they have to enjoy it too, otherwise it's a "stupid" gift idea. Do him a favor and don't subject him to the tortures of V-Day. He'll never let you go...

LOL, if you lived in Lexington I could think of a few different stores you could try but they aren't chain stores so I'm not too sure what to recommend. Seriously though-try Lane Bryant or the lingerie dept. of any store-sometimes they aren't that disappointing.

I think I am getting my man some booze.

Also possibly some rumaki.

I don't think that I have ever given my boyfriend a Valentine's Day gift. Maybe a card and some candy, but not a present. He gives me presents for my birthday and Valentine's Day since my birthday is Feb 13th. It's a two for one type of deal, but the presents are good like jewelry and a cruise. :)

If you get the Conservinator some booze, he will give you the BEST SEX EVER.

I don't see what the big deal about Valentine's Day is. No, honestly. Why not do something special and show appreciation for the one you love whenever the mood strikes you and not because Hallmark or society pressures you to? If you see something they like and it is a Wednesday, give it to them ebcause it is a Wednesday and you love them.

(I give gifts like sporting goods, beer, and gas BBQs though, so maybe it is just the guys I date and our gifts are always thoughtful and practical, like waking up in the morning and realizing he came over to remove snow and ice from my car and brought me breakfast so we could spend time together instead of me having to do that before school/work)

Buttonz~ you live in a huge metropolitan area. I know you can find a store somewhere. I live 10 miles from the middle of nowhere and even in my town I could find those items in your size. I bet Russ, ZTAMich, or Cream could ask around if they don't have any suggestions.

PREMARITAL SEX IS TEH DEVIL.

;)

mesh and fishnets? I'd guess a good place to go would be Fredricks of Hollywood... or just the internet

He's gay. You just haven't realized it yet lol.

If you don't like the suggestions being made you probably have a good idea of what you do want to get him.

I personally think I've decided on my gift to the BF:

Need some gift ideas, try looking here for some inspiration...

Maxime's V-Day Survival Guide

I don't have to give my boyfriend anything for Valentine's Day because he said it's a day for women to receive gifts, not give them. WOOHOO!

Take a bath with him...

It's amazing what Mr. Bubble will do for you...

Besides, it will be rather corny, but extremely romantic...

And it will be good, clean sex afterwards...

ROFL!
I'm laughing at the scene that would erupt if I attempted to cram into a tub with the boy who is almost a foot taller than I. ha ha ha ha....

ETA: Best gift ever? A trip to Good Vibrations
:-)

He said the same and I disagree with him, lol! :P

OK I need an idea on what to get my guy. I am moving to NY on thursday so we won't be together on v-day. I wanted to send him something besides a card. Any ideas? I wouldn't send him flowers or anything stupid like that. But what can you send a guy?

He was saying that he wanted to put a picture of me & him in a frame, so I thought about sending him a framed pic of us along with some candy and stuff that I know he likes and a nice card.

Lingerie is out of the question unless I plan on someone else wearing it since I am not going to be there. He doesn't watch movies or anything. I don't want to spend a lot of money, I just want to do something kinda nice. I realize that Valentine's day is a girl's holiday but I'd still like to do something nice.

Aanyone who has ideas, please help a girl out!

Caryn, you know what my reaction to this thread will be next time we talk. Just get him a freaking video game. You know it's something he'll like.

hottytoddy your ideas sound like mine. I think that sounds good.

My boyfriend has been begging me for a picture of myself... just to get someone to take one of only me. Its not like I have any recent ones of just myself, and he doesnt want pics of me and my friends. We dont even have one of the just the two of us together after this long.

So, I spent a while one night with the camera set up, taking picture after picture, until I got one that I liked. (this is hard to do when you are propping up the camera and trying to do this by yourself). Well, I got a couple and I am going to frame one for him.

Then I am getting him fudge that he really likes. Plus, I have planned out some stuff for him on Saturday night. We wont get to spend valentines day together since we live three hours apart, so a weekend of stuff he has planned will do :D

I have always given men in my life homemade baked goods. Whatever his favorite is. Brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc. My second husband said lingerie is a waste of money because it only stays on for 5 seconds. He always loved brownies though.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL THE GC LADIES!!!
