Just over a month to go guys

Anyone got any "original" ideas?

Bored of meals out, flowers etc....

Oh god, please no.

I'm not going out with either of them.

Don't bother then, the love's obviously gone.

My original idea is to sit in the house with a few beer. I spent a fortune on Valentines day last year, what a bloody rip off

I might sing the national anthem or something, that counts as showing love doesn't it?

It isn't the sort of love Valentine's day is about though

Man with girlfriend/wife can't afford to get bored with flowers and meals out

I would still do the flowers and meal etc, maybe send the flowers to her workplace then cook the meal yourself

be modernist, get her to plan it

Valentines day is a waste of time, if you love someone do you really need only one day a year to show them how you feel?

Bah Humbug!

Already? I mean really, xmas just finished, give me some peace.

Any original idea would be specific to the two of you. If you have any significant places/foods/gifts etc. from when you were first going out etc. You could try to replicate or parallel that. Whether its a small thing or something more extravagant, the gesture seems a lot bigger than just generic flowers and chocolates, and meal at the local italian restaurant.

Whilst I disagree with the concept of valentines day, and realise its a sham by the gift companies, it can have significance with partners - and making the effort usually garners its rewards

EDIT: "love"

Indeed

I have a great idea - weather permitting - but I can't say because she reads the forums (hello!) so it wouldn't be a surprise if I posted what it is.
