Valentine's gifts
| Thu, 02-12-2004 - 10:06am |
Hi, everyone. How about some last-minute ideas for Valentine's gifts for the guys? Or just gifts for any time. In the last few months I have given the following gifts: a nice pocket knife, an expensive pen, a subcription to a flyfishing magazine (he loved that!), a personalized coffee mug, a big bone for the dog, (don't forget your man's best friend!), some tape recordings of our favorite songs, and some candy. All of these were small, unnoticeable gifts, but they had a lot of meaning. Every month when the magazine comes, he will think of me. When he reaches in his pocket and feels the knife, he will think of me. When he goes to write something, bingo, think of me! And I am already getting in good with the dog! Of course, he tells me he doesn't need any reminders to think of me; I am constantly on his mind. And his gift to me? A rainbow trout he painted on a feather and mounted in a rustic frame. Different, huh? And pretty special.
Any other suggestions, ladies?

Most things are things he can easily explain, or would buy for him self.
I'm a giver, I cant help myself!
And his gifts are so thoughtful, the best one was a charm braclet with speical charms that had meaning to only us!!

Dayz, thank you for your nice note. We do seem to think alike, and I am a giver, too. I have more fun picking out these gifts. Have a nice day!

P.S. Thank you for correcting me on my spelling. Of course, I know faux pas is spelled with an S, (beating myself on the head.) I have been a court reporter for 30 years and English is my forte, too. Apparently, I can't type either! I think I was just so shaken to have been called a troll when nothing could be less true. I have posted on several of these boards for a couple years. I will be glad to relate my story.
I came up with the pocket knife idea also, and with the double whammy of getting him a "BUCK" knife...I get told over and over again just how much he loves it...and when he was asked about it? Said he got it from one of his "suppliers"...good thing she didn't ask what they "supply"...LOL...
As to what HE got me for Christmas? He's agnostic, and isn't one that typically buys "Christmas" presents, but he did really well...but he thought I was totally nuts that I liked the $3 pair of Christmas socks more than I did the diamond earrings...
He sent me flowers for V Day and a card. I guess the basics for guy but he is not big on shopping for women. For Christmas, I got a nice necklace from Tiffany but no diamonds.
Wondering if your MM spend a lot of money on you, care to share ?? I'm not materialistic since I buy a lot of nice things for myself already and I feel that the reason I'm with the MM is mainly for love and care, not material things. I guess women are always in a dilema, if your man doesn't buy you anything, you start doubting your value to him. You don't want to make him feel that you're greedy but getting things from him gives you some reassurance that you're on his mind.
My guy is not a big gift-buyer. He prefers to make me things. I will be seeing him next weekend, so I guess I might receive my Valentine's gift then. I, too, am in this relationship for the love and companionship and not the gifts. I am well along in life where I can buy myself whatever I need. But it is easy to focus on these little tokens of affection when you are far away in time and distance. It does reassure that he is thinking about us. I am not sure that guys realize this. He always adores my gifts and apologizes for not giving me more, and I do believe he means it. It is obvious he is totally in love with me. I know things will be better when we can finally be together. BTW, he is 130 miles from me. I would love to go shopping with him to a sporting goods store or to buy clothes for him.
