We have a strict policy of completely ignoring the whole Valentine's Day brouhaha. It makes life much more pleasant.

We usually go to a movie but...I just ordered $170.00 of Cathe DVD'S 7 to be exact. I guess you can say that I got exactly what I REALLY wanted.

My SO has been wanting a money clip since before xmas and I got a really nice one with his name engraved on it for Valentine's.
He asked me weeks ago what I wanted and I didn't really have anything in mind. Then the next day I said maybe a spa gift certificate. He asked me over a week ago what my favorite flower was so I'm guessing I might have those coming.
I always think a special dinner and a small gift exchanged is a nice way of celebrating the day. Nothing over the top.

I wouldn't normally make a big deal of it but it is the the first Valentines Day we are together and he is going through some really tough times so I am wondering what to get him. I'm thinking maybe just a little note to tell him how much I appreciate having him in my life....and a nice smooch ;-)

Other than the usual--nudge nudge wink wink}( ;-) :* , we usually make a fancy dinner together. This year will be Julia Child's sea food crepes with wine and cheese sauce, salad and crusty bread followed by a creme fraiche chocolate cake (if I can find the recipe I lost grrrrr)otherwise chocolate mousse.
We don't buy each gifts for Valentine's day.

DH and I don't actually celebrate V-day either, but the anniversary of our first date is the day before (the 13th), and since it's almost exactly 6 mos. from our wedding anniversary we celebrate it like we would a wedding anniversary. This year I got him a boxed set of one of his favorite music artists and the complete collection of the Far Side---yeah, he's such a boy
I know he got me music and "gourmet chocolates" his words (and they're vegan too:7 )---but I don't know what yet.
These are, of course, in addition to any celebrating we might do together;-)

Well... you could always try making him Rachel Ray's "You Won't Be Single For Long Vodka Cream Pasta"

She claims that she gave this recipe its name due to the many stories she recieved after publishing it of women getting engaged/ married after making it for their SO's.
But I think a love-letter would be fantastic too. How can you go wrong with a love letter?
