Considering my wife and I will be seeing the first sonogram of our first child on valentines day, I'd like a healthy heartbeat from my unborn child.

As a man I've never received flowers. I'm a bit bummed by that. My friends tell me that guys don't get flowers and that me wanting flowers is so gay even our gay friend doesn't want flowers ever. I don't care. I would like flowers delivered to my workplace. Girlfriend or no girlfriend.

The same thing my wife and I do every year. Order tasty pizza and drink good beer. Why do we need a single day out of the year to express our love for each other? That should be every day...

Nothing this year. I always just liked small surprises with no expectations. I haven't ever wanted anything specific on a Valentine's Day, or even expect to get anything, but the best things I have gotten were just little objects/gestures that reminded me of the relationship.

Years ago I got roses. At first I thought it was just cute, since traditionally men buy roses for girlfriends. My girlfriend at the time said she wasn't sure what to do, but knew I liked roses (I have several rose tattoos and mentioned red roses are my favorite flower.) That she made the association was the best part of the gift.

I have a dream one day i'll have a beautiful girl who'll buy me a thing of whey protein for valentines day and on that jug of protein will be a note that says "I'm whey into you". That'll be the one.

Expect? Nothing

Hope for? Something thoughtful and to show that she cares.

Okay so disclaimer here: my wife gets wayyyy into the holidays. Not just Christmas and Halloween but every one from st Patrick's to Chinese New Year. For the past 5? Years, from feb 1st to valentines I get a gift everyday with a pun on it. On feb 1st it's something small like a candy bar or chapstick and leads up to bigger things that I like (amiibos, simpsons season, things like that) so for example: yesterday I found some rollos that had a note saying she likes the way I "roll". today I got some Reese's cups saying have I "reesently" told you I love you? So to answer simply I expect awesomeness, because that's what I get every year.

All I want is to sit on my recliner love seat in my favorite spot with her shmushed up against me with my arm around her. Sometimes I can cop a feel which is nice. She don't mind. We watch a movie. I'll try to pick a comedy she likes. She does this thing where every time she laughs at a line or scene, she looks at my to see if I think it's funny because I don't really laugh out loud. It's so f***ing cute. Every time she does it, I fall a tiny bit more in love with her and I can't help but kiss her face. That's all I need.

But If I got full say, I'd also have an 1/8th of blue dream, a sixer of Guinness for me and a bottle of red wine that's "as cold as it can be without actually turning to ice" because that's how she likes it.

Scrolled down for a few minutes and didn't find any legitimate gift options. I don't EXPECT anything, but a few things that'd be nice to me personally:

A couple t-shirts of my preferred style. Solid colors, scoop bottom, etc.

A nice watch.

Cologne is always awesome.

I'm obsessed with shoes so shoes would be dope.

Gift card to my favorite coffee shop.




Simple. If you know what someone normally spends money on, then getting a gift for them is easy.

A romantic dinner and a shag from Mr. Right (Now), or to finally actually meet Mr. Right.

And, a few chocolates from my dad, since I grew up ugly, he got the tradition of buying me chocolates for that date.

I'd like us to agree that we don't need to waste our money on more things we don't need.
