So come on then guys whats everyone doing on Valentines Day.

Or more to the point what are you getting for that better half.

Im really stuck for ideas I am really useless at this kind of stuff. :D
 
I've got a nice bottle of champagne in, and I'm cooking her a meal. Few candles, baloons etc round the table to make it a little romantic ;)

Then got her a necklace and a box of choccies.
 
I wish it was like that over here. It would be a lot easier if the girls were to buy us stuff.

I don't know what to get my gf apart from flowers but that is really predictable. I might try the jewellery idea.
 
I bought her a Tshirt she told me she liked about 2 months ago before we were dating. Have also booked a table at a restaurant in London. Dunno if I will buy her flowers and chocolates, would be silly to have to carry them around all day in London.
 
One idea if your girlfriend is the sentimental type, make her a scrap-book with pictures and other things relating to you/her and your time together. Would go down well imo, I didn’t do this because I got my girlfriend a nice box that she keeps all our stuff in. Pictures, cinema ticket from first date, receipt from first meal – girls LOVE that sort of thing.

The second one (which I am doing this year) is a home-made card. Now I know it sounds like a lot of hassle, and I am quite literally the worst arts&craft man ever, but I popped into Tesco got a pack of different colour cards, some glue, and some decorative thingys. To make fold one piece of card in half take another colour and cut two rectangles which you stick on the front of the card then use the other colours to cut out two heart shapes which go on the top of the rectangles. Decorate with any extra bits you bought. Now its cheap, takes 10 mins to make and she will love it because you did it yourself!!!!

:}
 
Well a bunch of us singletons all stuck our names in a hat and drew a name to buy for you were aloud a second pick if it was the same gender or yourself. Plus all the girls are pretty cute. Was hoping to draw one girl in particular but didn't :(

Anyhow my gift idea all came to £5 :D I made a card for starters which is pretty cool.

Took a jewel cd case, stuck in some flat red tissue paper (blood red napkin 4tw). Placed on top a white piece of card with a heart shape cut out, thats in the front. Did a little poem inside the jewel case just something nice, nothing soppy or goopy.

Out the hat randomly it came
A piece of paper with your name
So I thought on one special day
It requires a spark to light the way
May this card make you smile
If only though for a short while
A special idea made just for you
To lift those single valentine blues
An idea designed around yourself
May this card brighten your shelf

A little February cheer was the plan
Happy Valentine to you, Bethan


Then wrapped it in black plastic (bin liner) crossed over some red card to make a cross shape and then made a paper rose (roll some red card stick on some leave things) and tucked it behind the red crossed over card. Looks the dogs and cost me nothing but 15 mins of my time and a little thought :D

And its going to get all the girlies goopy on the night (load of us going for a meal) hehe.

As for the gift a bar of swiss prailine chocolate (apparently she likes) and a e-or, I found in the toy section of tescos. Stuffed it all in a purple wine gift bag I had some whiskey in for xmas, SORTED!
 
Im going to the girlfriends house after work for my tea lol

Ive got her a White Gold Diamond/Pink Sapphire Ring (£120), a teddy holding a white gold heart pendant necklace (£20), a photo frame with my fava pic of us in (£2) and for a laugh Peter Kays workout DVD (£15)

£157 all in then lol

Its our first valentines so I though I would make the effort this time :)


Cant for the life of me think what to write on her card though... anyone got any nice poems etc.. ?
 
I made a Valentines GIF which I'm going to email to all the girls I fancy and have their email addresses.

Sit down with the missus with a take-away and watch liverpool v arsenal. (although the fact she supports Arsenal and I support Liverpool will be a passion killer hahahahaha).
