Not a fan of charm bracelets I must admit.


Would tend to agree with you Treas, but this bracelet is very popular at the mo and IMHO it is gorge.
Im bidding on one on ebay for £40 as we speak- (i have to buy my own val day pressies  :'( )
Usually its about £100-£150.

Anybody dig up the thread from An Fear Rua, there was some great suggestions there!!

imo......... bulters chocolates are the biggest waste of money... so don't get her them...

nearly 30 euro for a box of eight! (only time i ever contemplated asking for the receipt) but then again i don't like chocolate!

I got a card once with some lovely sentiments written that alot of thought had went into,  and it was much better than the present....

but i'd be an old romantic!
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

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.

Valentine's is a pure joke. My favourite of all time is my Mum and Dad. My Mum's Canadian and my Father met her over there. When she asked him about it first he said he'd never heard of it and when she explained all to him he said they'd never had it over here.

She says she gave him a right tongue lashing when she found out the ruth. She had let him away with it for years at that stage!

Just right too!
