    I'm getting my wife a new camera, but I'm also gonna do the "flowers sent to her work" thing. It's amazing how much that matters to them. Women love getting flowers at work. I think it'a almost like a competition...to see whos' husband/boyfriend loves them more! It's definitely a woman thing! We ususally go out to eat as well, but it can be tough getting a table anywhere around here on any given day, let alone V-day. It's on a Monday I think, so maybe we'll go out on the Friday or Saturday prior.

    Just curious as to whether anyone had any cool ideas that I can steal ;)

    Flowers just seems so predictable, but hey, it works!

    One Valentines I had ordered flowers to be delivered to her work and there was a delay for whatever reason. The delivery person called me and told me that my wife had left for the day and that they would deliver them to our house. I was like "no way!" I knew that my wife got out of work early and her and her girlfirends went to a restaurant for lunch. I had the delivery person go to the restaurant and deliver the flowers to my wife at their table! It went over great! The whole restaurant was sort of "gawking".

    here is my exsperiance

    Find a small independant flower shop, it is critical that it is ran by a woman. Talk to her in person, explain what you want to 'say' with the flowers and 'why'. Also tell her you dont want an 'ordinary' floral arrangement, also tell her how much you want to spend.
    I did this with about $110 and got a phenomenal job in a unique vase. When every thing bloomed out it was about 2.5 feet across. The wife loved it, that was 2 years ago and she still talks about it
    Good luck ;)

    You guys are so cute! I wish I could expect flowers on V-day. One day I'll have some guy who will feel pressured into buying me flowers.

    Doing nothing special. Doing something special requires having someone special, and ATM, I don't, so I won't. ;)

    Well, I'm just gonna hug it, not crawl around in the innards. As for intimate, you kinda have to get intimate with the sucker sometimes, if you want to fix stuff..........(but not on Valentines Day).:p ;) :D
