Cost of Valentines day

[TonyMcC]

In another topic several members were moaning about what a waste of money buying a valentines card would be. I haven't been able to find that topic.

If a moderator wants to add this to that topic that would be fine by me.

 

I see in today's press that Asda, a subsidiary of Walmart, is selling a Valentine's card for 7p.( about 11 cents). Come on lads, surely a smile from your beloved would be worth that amount? Think of the pleasure such a gesture would give her. I don't think I'll try it with my wife however - she would probably hit me with something hard and metallic from the kitchen! What do the girls on the forum think, I wonder? Would an 11c card be better than no card at all?

Can't tell you, I've never been in a relationship/had a valentine. But I think a hand made card would be nicer than any of those options, and it doesn't cost anything. You should write your wife a poem.

 

Or these because they're awesome;

I've known girls who "reached for the moon", but perhaps the whole solar system in one go is a bit much - lol.

Can't really buy chocolates for my wife as she is diabetic.

Hope you know someone who can take a hint!

I find this hard to believe. Is it just because you haven't been in the US very long?

Absolutely. And put a little cologne on it. Anything that engages the senses is a nice attention to detail your valentine will really appreciate.

No, I was born here. Only 1/2 communist.

Move quickly. Men are idiots where you live.

Thanks, Phi.

I write my wife poetry, once I had a poem I wrote for her carved in a rock and gave it to her....

I think it depends on the lady. I know women who cry and whine if they do not get dinner and a gift. However, I appreciate it when my lover shows a sense of compassion towards others. Material things mean much less than the evolution of feelings and common understanding. but I did get an electric blanket... and I LOVE IT!
