    I want to make both my guys something crafty. Perhaps I can make them explotion boxes, now that I have gotten my DY/scrapbooking things in order

    It will be the first Valentine I am with SO on the actual day, my husband will be here too and I will have to find out how to celebrate with both of them! I might take them out for a nice dinner, my treat. And I will write them cute cards (individually) <3 .
    I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

          I was planning on doing a combination present this year--I got her flowers, and am sending her a care package with a jar full of 365 reasons why I love her (along with some letters and photos for her to look at and open when she gets lonely)

          What do y'all think? Cute or too sappy?

              I love that idea gentle hart and no I don't think it's sappy I think it's beautiful!!! I am a real softie though.

              I decided to do the playing card thing, 52 reasons why I love you and I found this really cool pack of playing cards on amazon, it's a Beatles Yellow Submarine pack in a presentation tin. We are both big Beatles fans so I thought it would be extra special. However, now it's arrived it's soooooo nice, I don't think I can write on them!!!

              I don't know what to do, should I use these or just get a regular deck and sent these as a gift??? I'm torn!

                Get a regular deck. To do the 52 Reasons cards it works best with a semi-old deck because you will really distroy the cards

                  It might sound corny, but free, you could make him a playlist of clips from your favorite love scenes and love songs on youtube and dedicate it to her. You could make him a crossword puzzle about your lives together. A gift is not always about something for sale. Make sure to send him a sweet e-card and maybe even virtual birthday cake with candles to sing him Happy B-day and have him "blow" out.

                    Yeah I think I will. The Beatles ones all have illustrations from the movie on them, it would be a shame to deface them. Hopefully he will appreciate them both!

                    I've told him to NEVER send me flowers. They're a rip off. I'd rather have something of his, like one of his (worn) t shirts or him buy me something I can wear. The most precious thing though is a letter. I love getting those.....

                        I did the cd for Xmas of song that remind us of each other.....he loved it. I don't know what to do for valentines day. I did so much hand made stuff with "open when" letters he's got my hand made items all over his study. That and he's not really into chocolate. Makes it tricky

                          I ordered a love coups book for Christmas for my SO he loved it. You can personalise it too. So know when I ask him what he wants to do he picks a coupon and we do that activity.

                            I sent my boyfriend a box containing the homemade cookies, some chocolates, and a video game he had expressed interest in, a week ago. The tracking updates told me it was delivered today! I'm annoyed and impressed at the same time lol. He got it way too early.. :/

                            In the past when he sent me packages, it took them at least 3-4 weeks to arrive. I will be talking to him in a few hours and see how he likes his Valentines gifts.

                                I'm making the GF a mini scrapbook type thing, its got random quotes in, photos of us, reasons why I love her, some of our messages to each other, skype screen shots, plans for London/Arizona this year, what other plans I wish to share with her etc.

                                I'm also sending her another of my shirts with my perfume on, some fluffy socks, flowers and I'm making a private video on YouTube just explaining how much she means to me etc. x
