Valentines Day...

[cacain119]

Been with my bf for 4 years now, and I'm unsure of what to do for him for valentines day. I've always been the "thoughtful" one in our relationship and i've been going down this list of ideas for about a year and a half for his bday, christmas, anniversary.. and now i'm just plain out of ideas. here's what i've done for him in the past, let me know if you all have any new ideas!

 

Bday: a cologne he'd had his eyes on, and a signet ring with his initials engraved

 

Christmas: An espresso machine he'd wanted for years, now that he had a place to put it

 

Anniversary: (we do small things for this bc it falls between Christmas and Vday so we're pressed for cash -- I don't receive a gift normally, but I get a REALLY nice 5 star dinner -- and I normally get him a gift to repay for the expensive night) I got him a new wallet and a couple nice quality beanies because he'd been complaining about the weather and he'd never had one before along with a stylish necklace.

 

I don't know what to do. . .

how do you feel about not getting gifts? are you feeling slightly resentful that you are getting him something and he isn't getting you something?

not really concerned about it. It's one of those things, I've been with the guy long enough to know what he does and what he doesn't do. I think if he suddenly changed like that, then he'd be doing it out of guilt or something. I do these things because I *want* to, not because I have to.

Simple things are good too. How about cooking him his favorite dinner (or dressing it up into something fancy), a few candles, a massage...?

 

For V-day, my new guy is planning to do the above for me. I thought I'd surprise him with a little silly gift - I bought him a HUGE package of Hershey's Kisses, another of Hershey's Hugs - and say that I am looking forwards to sharing plenty of both with him
