I say think outside the box and get her something that isnt a typical chocolate and flowers thing? it doesn't have to be a huge elaborate gift.

What kind of stuff is she into?

 

My bride and I always exchange records.

 

She'll be getting a copy of the increasingly harder to find "Martin + Me" by J Mascis. And she's going to love it.

That's rad! 

My bride loves music and accepts my record collection/listening habits, etc. This year I'm presenting her with a custom lathe cut record with a song I contacted Chris Farren about, and he recorded/wrote for her. The b-side will be a song I wrote for her early in our relationship. One of our first shows/dates together was a Fake Problems show many moons ago, and when I saw her bouncing around without spilling her beer, I knew she was the one. She's had a rough few years with death's in her family, going back to school, and working full time.Trying to get the personal record sleeve together as we speak. I ordered a few Lathes so I can put one in our personal jukebox. Hope she digs it. 

 

Then we will go out to our favorite bar in Durham, order tater tots, and occupy our 4 year old. Perfect!

This is a really awesome gift. Crazy thoughtful.

 

When my bride moved in with me while we were dating, she brought her record collection with her. It was one of the many telling signs that we were/are perfect for each other. When we started exchanging gifts, we always seemed to include a record for one another, so after the kids came, we decided to focus our gifting on them and just keep the record exchange tradition going. Every once in a while we'll get something else for the other one, but we always claim its from the kids. It's a fun way to celebrate the day, remember it whenever the record gets played, and it allows you to not feel too guilty for spending a little too much on an album.

 

Case in point, she is a huge Mountain Goats fan. 5 year anniversary at the end of February and I'm currently sitting on a copy of "Full Force Galesburg."

Not telling me what kind of gift she wants lol. She's so damn picky, jewellery and home decor is essentially off the table. I'm thinking she'll like one those dorky adult onesies because if there's one thing I've learned about women it's that they don't like being cold. Thinking I'll get it monogrammed with 420, we don't smoke but find weed apparel hilarious.

So glad my wife hates flowers. Thats the biggest waste of money related to that day.

This

I bought the lady tickets to see 50 Shades of Grey at this dine-in movie theater, the nail polish collection and Sam Smith's album on vinyl. She's nuts about his album.

Whats your worst V day ever?

 

Me? I just began dating a girl, we both worked at the mall while going to college, her security dispatcher me GNC guy. Had been crushing on her awhile. Anyhow cooked all romantic like at her moms house alone (we were 19-20?) this is like 2001 or so, and she says lets go to Canada get a hotel and go to the casino, not a big gambler but figure eh why not, hotel, sexy time, a day away. So on the way back from getting my birth cert to cross she is driving her car and we went through a green light and these 2 girls make a left on a blinking yellow, we T bone them and roll the S10 truck onto its roof, we end up in their turn lane. So I make sure she is ok, and were all good besides choking on airbag dust and I look over at the truck and they are dumping fuel on the ground because the filler neck/tank snapped. So I was in Fire/Medic school at the time so I go over and they are freaking out, I remember Blink 182 blaring on the radio, hanging from their seat belts. I get the Passenger undone and out and another guy gets the driver out and to the side of the road. I then go back and get my lady out and to the side of the road. Fire dept comes ect. Not eventful after that.

 

Then she gets weird, avoiding me ect. I help her find a steal of a new car and breaks up with me a few days later because I helped the other girls out first, dident care their was a legit life threat/explosion hazard.

 

Still makes me chuckle and think "what are women thinking sometimes"

My worst-

It was about a month after my girlfriend and I got serious. Things were really really good at the time. We decided to get a hotel room and just have a really romantic night, and just bump all the uglies.

Her gift for me was this really elaborate collage that she put together herself. Except she was super last minute with it, and our night got off to a super late start. Got to the point where she didn't even finish the thing.. Never actually gave it to me.

As annoying as that was in the long run, it doesn't even come close to the next part..

We finally get to the hotel. She goes to the bathroom, and gets her period.

Being 9 years older, yes, I absolutely should have plowed anyway.. Especially when they weren't even our sheets to destroy. But at the time I was still horribly inexperienced and didn't even consider it
