Valentine's Day has come and gone, down come the over-priced flowers, chocolates, and jewelery. Maybe next year I'll talk my girlfriend into accepting those kinds of gifts the day AFTER Valentine's Day. It's a day that some people love and others hate, it is also one of the most lop-sided days of the whole year. I mean, where's MY gift? Sure there's a big payoff at the end of the day, but I don't get anything tangible to actually eat or use. I'm sure there are couples who go out and buy each other gifts to profess their undying affection for each other, but I have no need for flowers, and chocolates don't interest me either. I could use a new wireless mouse, or SD card for my camera however.
It would be great if Valentine's day could be turned into a "generic gift day" although you may have to work on the name a bit. I think that the most romantic gift would have to be anything I will use often, that way the money isn't wasted, and I get something that is actually useful, aren't I romantic? I have an ipod, but the zune intrigues me, I would also liked to have gotten an eBook reader or a new comfy office chair. In a technology oriented world, I'm pretty sure that gifts like the ones I mentioned will become more common. Personally, I think nothing says undying love quite like a Spy Camera Video Watch http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/b550/
Ahh love...

I bought Jordan a couple of awesome robot t-shirts, he bought me some flowers, a stuffed unicorn and he also picked up Rock Band for the both of us. And then we went to karaoke. Oh, and mom gave him a stuffed bear.
ReplyDeleteLast year, we cheaped out and did Valentine's the day after when everything was 50% off. It was awesome. Granted, him getting Rock Band was awesome, too.
