Valentines Day Gift Ideas
 
I just started a relationship and was wondering what sort of things were appropriate to give for Valentines Day. I don't want to be over the top, but he is really special and I'm not sure what to get him!

Help!

I was wondering the same question. My boyfriend and I have been together since the beginning of September and I was trying to get some ideas for a gift from him too. :-)

This time last year, I had only been dating my now-fiance for 4 months, but at the same time, we were pretty serious already. I got him a silver keychain with some engraving on it...some cute simple quote on one side, and "Love, Amanda" on the other. He keeps his car keys on it now and he loves it.

Sex or Super Bowl tickets, yo. Or beer.

....he looked freakin' HOT wearing it....*drool*

It's only $129, not too shabby.

I gave birth to our daughter so that's all he's getting for Valentine's Day.

Beer is a good idea...somebody just needs to give me a beer syllabus...

I tried Breckenridge's sampler in honor of the Broncos yesterday, too bad it didn't get the W. :(

What type of beer does he like? I (as well as the other beer drinkers on the board) could try to come up with a beer to fit his taste.

Make dinner at home and enjoy a night in.

That's the problem, he and I try just about everything we can. We regularly go to a place with 300 bottles and 100 on tap! I know he likes Stouts and Porters. He's a huge Guiness fan, almost a better question would be what he doesn't enjoy? (those are - Sam Adams Triple Bock, Eku 28 and Hacker-Schorr Weiss, also any generic domestic including miller lite, bud light, etc.)

I'm almost wondering if I should shy away from that and go more to whisky (the other thing he drinks)...or just scratch the whole alcohol themed gift idea?

Stouts and porters! I like him!

Are there any breweries in your area?

Whiskey is great - I'm a fan of it myself.

If he's a stout/porter fan, you may want to check out some of the Rogue beers. Their Chocolate Porter, Mocha Porter, and Shakespeare Stout are great beers. Sam Smith's Taddy Porter is also an excellent beer.

Like Valkyrie said, you may also want to check the breweries in your area. Maybe he can find a new favorite there.

I'll have to find some awesome crazy beer at the beer store and something else? Super Bowl tickets aren't in the forecast, although he likes the seahawks.

I don't want to get him anything silly like a bear or something like that. Bears are for losers? :p
