View Full Version : valentines day
What did you ladies get/mail to your SO's for V-day?
I got a bunch of pictures of me dressed up all nice... Which doesnt happen often. Best part, I wasn't even going anywhere. Just dressed up to take V-day pics for him.
Then I got some stuff from the craft store. They are that foamy material and heart shaped. Every possible shade of pink. And I got the cut out letter to glue on them... and I'm making dirty conversation hearts :)
I also got an amazing card. it's freakin hilarious. The front has some really really old black and white photo of a girl sitting on a donkey...
when you open it up, it says 'My valentine's day consists of nothing exciting. Just me, sitting on my ass, thinking about you.'
Yeaaaa, I found it pretty fitting. lol
So what did all you ladies get for them?

he has spoiled me rotten and created a monster but i told him it was no one's fault but his! :roller:

I haven't gotten him anything yet, only because I know damn well he won't be getting me anything...
We are going out to a 100$ a plate dinner though, and snowboarding on Friday, so I think that should be good enough...
It's our last V day together till 2011. Sad.
Lovey

The kids and I are working on sending him some cards. He'll be happy to get it even though it will be late.
Kells Bells, husband/wife bonding time at the shooting range sounds AH-MAZING. Haha. But then again, I was born with too much testosterone or something cuz I like action and horror movies more than any other kind of movie. And I love guns, cars, and boxing, and martial arts, ohhh and anything outdoor, like fishing and hunting. bhahaa.
Anyways. I wonder what hubs got youuuu :)

I have a Cricut Expression machine so I made him a card and put some money in it. That way he can rent his favorite movie and get some dinner on me.

I just sent Matt's out yesterday afternoon
I sent him 3 different lotions (b/c he really wanted/needed them lol)
I also sent a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup HEART (they're his favorite candy)
Plus one of our notebooks, some candy for his buddies, some more candy for him, a stuff monkey (b/c I always call him my monkey) that says I love you and a card that has a picture of a rose on the front reading "Roses are red and sometimes thorny When we're apart I get..... (turn inside) Corny! Haha you perve. I know what you were thinking"
It was so funny I jsut had to get it! :p

I think he will. We set up a separate account for him while he's over there but with them having to buy so much themselves, especially food because of the weird chow hall hours or time constraints, he appreciates any extra. :)

Well since originally we were going to spend it together... I hadn't bought anything lol... but when those plans went down the drain... I made him these cookies we made together at my house over christmas (as in i made new ones), some reeces peanut butter cups, a 8 page letter, picks from when he was here over christmas, and the magazine cutouts of all the dresses I tried on! So he can see them... but not see me in them!

kristi awesome ideas...
a-m i say we plan a camping trip MTMH style
Kela i love when tim wears Polo the one from the black box
I sent mine a week ago so my impatient boyfriend has already opened his. I got a USB and put pictures of me on it and a few fun songs that remind me of him, and some things like that. Then I got a picture puzzle from walmart of us holding hands and I sent him a few pieces for it - so he can put together a corner of it. Then some chocolate, a valentine's heart, red hots, and one of his army shirts sprayed with my perfume. And a dirty letter :P Plus a few cards saying either "thank you" for silly or serious things and some quotes from songs that remind me of him.

The kids picked out a singing card for Tom. I haven't gotten him anything though. I wanted to get him a new Ipod but I don't know if thats what he wants. He said Iraq killed the one he has now. I'd hate to get him a new pod and have the sand eat it like the last one.
I'm just gonna wait till I see him next week (EEEEK SO EXCITED) and hopefully go shopping with him. If he doesn't want a new Ipod then we are so getting new tats. :)
Mary Cat
02-10-2009, 09:10 PM
I should take some sexy pictures and e-mail them :)
The only problem with that is he doesn't have his own computer right now so I'd be afraid other people would see them hahahahaha

so I know I am a bit late for this but hey now you can all use it! So Jordan was deployed again so I sent him a photo of a nice diner for 2 with a caption saying what we should be eating and then a box of instant mac and cheese with a note saying what you will be having. Then a photo of a bath with candles and bubbles and roses and a caption saying what we would be doing after diner and sent him a container of bubble bath with a note saying go take a hot shower. the last photo was a bed with roses and flowers and a caption saying the bed we would be sharing and in the very bottom of the box was the fluffiest softest deep red blanket I could find. I attempted to embroider 2 hearts in the corner of the blanket and it turned out all right! i think he still is sleeping with it...
