Thanks for the tip!
The PJ's are an AWESOME idea, especially if she likes to hang out in them (I know I do)
....but whatever you do, make sure you get the right size.
Help!!!!
My girlfriend doesn't like flowers, she says "What's the point? They die and are a waste of money." I bought her jewlery last year, but she doesn't even wear it. I'd consider an engagement ring, but I'm not traveling down that road until I get the ultimatum. I was considering a pajamagram and scoring her some comfy pj's to wear while she grades papers and such.
Any ideas will help out considerably. If you guys haven't noticed, I'm not really a romantic type of person.

I've already checked her other pj's to get the right size, just in case I go with that.....but whatever you do, make sure you get the right size.
Is she a Spurs fan? How 'bout tickets to a game?
If not, a nice dinner out at a high-class place is always nice. Or, if you can cook, a delicious dinner at home is always a winner (there is that place, Supper Solutions at the Forum where you can go and get dinner already prepared to go in the oven,
The best Valentine gift I ever got from a guy was a pair of Oakley sunglasses. I wore those things for years, and I loved them. I lost them on a fishing trip, though.
Come to think of it, that fishing trip was a Valentine gift, too!
Pajamas......thanks for the idea.

OMG, are you serious?!?! I live at the Forum and I've never seen it. Where is it?
I buy my kids candy and then eat it all when they're at school.
I once spent most of my student savings on a pendant for my wife when we were still dating. Although I was in my late teens, it was the first time I really *looked* at jewellery.
And my not so humble opinion told me it was superb.
It was only after we got married that I discovered she didn't like the design and had *never* worn it. She never got around to telling me about it as she knew I had spent a lot of time (and $$$) on it
Might be the same for you. If you're anything like me, you're gonna get it horribly wrong the first few times when buying things for her
Anyway, for suggestions, I agree with Pache100 that a romantic candlelight dinner, followed by a scrumptious dessert is a must! The latter part is important - women LOVE desserts
I love writing so it's a custom for me to give a card telling my wife how much she means to me. It's good to remind her of it as the longer the relationship, the less us men tend to say it
Coming back to the gift... I've found out after all these years that the price doesn't really matter. It's more about the time and the effort that you've put into finding something you KNOW she'll like - it shows how well you know her.
If she's into cute stuff, then go ahead and get plush toys
If she has a hobby (horse riding, sports, etc.), why not get her something that will show your support?
Pajamas might be a good idea as well, but I personally find buying an item of clothing for my wife (that she *will* wear) is even MORE difficult than jewellery due to having more variables, especially the big unknown: how flattering it will look when worn. Some things may look sexy to you but to her, she'll be concerned that it makes her tummy/butt/thighs/herself look bigger/flatter/fatter/huge
Out of all jewellery items (excluding rings!), it seems that earrings are most likely to get used - my wife always wears one when going out while she will often omit necklaces, bracelets, etc.. I guess it's because the latter are more bersome.
Just look at what she wears and you'll have a better idea of what to buy.
From what my wife has been telling me lately, trendy earrings similar to what you see in desperate housewives are all the rage.
They look something like this:
or this , or this one
Just to be clear, my wife made these earrings (it's her hobby) and these photos are from her site, pe e aphrodite
Ugh... as I said earlier, I love writing :p Hope you can find something useful in here!
The dinner thing would be good if I didn't already make dinner for her every night. I also bake deserts once or twice a week, so doing it on Valentine's Day isn't really different from what I usually do. I believe I will look for some nice jewelry for her and if I can't find anything I think she will actually use, I'm probably going to get her some of those pjs. I will also get this stuffed animal sent to her at her High School with some nice flowers (eventhough she doesn't want them I know all women love flowers).
is your girl a highschool teacher or student?I will also get this stuffed animal sent to her at her High School with some nice flowers (eventhough she doesn't want them I know all women love flowers).
Awwwww! I saw that yesterday and it was sooooo cute!
Since User is always busy these days and never comes into the forum....this is what I'm sending to him:
Because I want the bucket when he's done.
She is a teacher. Although we did start going out when she was a high school student and I was in college.is your girl a highschool teacher or student?
It's down on the Academy end, behind the Hobby Lobby on that little road that goes into Olympia and winds around to Olympia Parkway. I think it's open now, too. I have seen a show about this place on the Food channel and the people who got the chain started around DC, and I have seen a segment on the local news on it (last night, I think...Marilyn Moritz). It looks like a really cool place. You can go in and prepare your own meals and take them home to cook, or, for a little more money, you can go in and pick up meals the staff has prepared and cook them when you get home. Everything is ready for you, all the chopping done, all the ingredients/ es ready. You choose from a big long list of available meals for each specific month.OMG, are you serious?!?! I live at the Forum and I've never seen it. Where is it?

the Pjs look good. I might get that. what else is there?
Take her to a dirtroad.
Or a Spurs game. Whichever you think is better.
Flowers never fail...
A dirtroad would be romantic. We made out at a dirtroad for the first time. She was scared at first and then I said, "Nah baby everything is solid."
Thanks for posting that.They look something like this:

I love those earrings. I have two pairs of those style of earrings that I got recently and everyone always comments on how pretty they are.
Maybe I can buy some new ones from your wife's site.
Thanks.
Make sure you don't forget to stargaze too.
That sounds very intriguing.....
I was just thinking the same thing. I have tons of beautiful rings, bracelets and pendants....but since even my watch broke, all I wear are earrings.
I was going to go check them out when I got home...those are awesome!
Tanzanite?
Have you been receiving dating tips from atl?
