    Two weeks from now, at the February 14, valentine’s day. The question here is what are you going to get for your beloved ones (girlfriends, wives, boyfriends, husbands, ….)? I don’t know yet what to get so I posted this question to get some ideas. Best regards.:rose:

      Nothing, don't believe in this shite (Valentine's Day). Started here (Austria) some years ago as an evil plot of jewelers and florists. I showed my beloved ones my love by not stepping into the present lunacy.

        Which one is a typo, "Two weeks" or "march" ? :cool: I am a hermit. I don't have beloved ones. I might get that fat mouse in my cave some cheese. :~

              I dropped off a big pot with a few tiny saplings + some words. The shrubbery does well, me not so much.

                        OK, so it's commercialised to within an inch of its life, and yeah, there's all sorts of pressure surrounding it, and yes we should treat our loved ones as if every day were Valentine's Day blah blah blah. But what's wrong with having a little "today we can be shamelessly romantic" day? I love seeing flowers being delivered all over the city, and at the end of the day seeing the objects of affection carrying those flowers on the bus or train (and the little embarrassed smiles that are passed around by the passengers). I love hearing about people's plans for the evening, or seeing cards on desks, seeing restaurants full of couples spending an evening together where they aren't working or draining their brain in front of the TV. And I even love (for about an hour) seeing cutesy, cheesy little teddybears holding hearts or flowers or something else sacharine. I just like seeing people being nice to each other instead of having that permanent scowl or frown that I see in the city every day.

                          If you really need to do something, go out for dinner or plan a fun weekend. Don't buy to much stuff, they'll just want more the next year :-D

                              They will always want more. If you get a present the next year they want more. if you took her on a trip the next year she wont some new and more expensive place. more is written in their blood molecules

                                      5. However, seeing all the cards etc. everywhere makes me feel depressed that I've no-one to buy/arrange romantic things for this year. :((

                                        Is that because of work?

                                          They will always want more. If you get a present the next year they want more. if you took her on a trip the next year she wont some new and more expensive place. more is written in their blood molecules

                                          My wife always gets what she wants... the money! As long as she leaves me alone to program and persue other hobies(programming other things) I am a happy happy man.
