Valentine's Day

[118cmal]

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for a good Valentine's Day present for the girlfriend?

To be honest I think the whole day is a marketing farce but at the same time I want her to feel special, and wouldn't want her to feel left out. 

Like most, the money is quite low at the minute and I'm not bad at cooking so I'd say i'll be cooking rather than eating out anywere, but does anyone know of any nice gift I could get her also?

Going out for a meal on Valentines night is a joke. Set menus, rushed in pushed out. I'd rather cook then go out for a meal a night or two later, I did that last year.

Wouldnt be big into buying gifts for this particular day, a nice card with a thoughtful message from your good self on it.  She'll appreciate that.

Is this for the farting Tyrone girl?

ill tell you what i cant stan valentines day, but the girlfriend likes the whole idea of it. couple of years ago took her for a subway on valentines day didnt really go down to well   

But the price of food on that night i think i might cook her a meal and then maybe go out a couple of nights after and a card would be tops its tough enough to gather money together as a student at the minute without this pile of shite of a day thrown into the mix

Valentines Day is a joke...
Any man that goes and spends money on flowers or dinner just because its that day are seriously under the thumb in a big way IMHO and really need to grow a set...
I tell you what for those of you who are stupid enough to spend a fortune on roses,I have some growing in my back garden I'll sell them for €5 a rose

sometimes it really is the thought that counts......

cook her favorite meal, watch her favorite film, buy her favorite wine, and make a c.d compilation of all her favorite songs!

the attention to detail and knowing what she likes will be better than a present...

and for bonus points talk about marriage and babies.......

Good thinking leenie, as that will lead to the most practical way of making babies
