Men's style jammies?
Steak knives? Oh, but those are for your mother....wait a minute...who's buying Valentine's gifts for their mother?

There's not one thing on that list that I'd want! However, I'd like to see the youtube of the :smack: the men get when they present their loves with any of those gifts!

I would like the detergent, the knives AND the jammies :dance:

Well at least they're getting a present! :lol:

I would like the detergent, the knives AND the jammies :dance:So after you slice him up, you can wash up the evidence and change clothes?

I like everything on that list. :lol:

I LOVE the jammies.

I tell you what if my husband gets me a bottle of fabric cleaner for valentines days and get's his mother a forget me knot ring for Valentines Day, he will not only get the bottle dumped over his head but will probably get divorce papers the next day

if someone buys me steak knives for Valentines Day, they better not be in throwing distance when I finally open the package.:lol:

I think they sound like ungrateful women who don't deserve a Valentine's Day present! :lmao:

:yeahthat:

Looks like a list of things NOT to give your wife or girlfriend for Valentines Day!

I would gladly take anything/everything on that list. :yay:

it sounds like that women needs to be thrown out on her ass. "oh no, what a horrible valentine's day present, how dare you! HERE ARE YOUR DIVORCE PAPERS!" Lunatic

i'm not defending the presents but come on now :lol:

I wouldn't mind getting any of that stuff, but I would probably be a little upset if he spent $90 on a pillow. :lmao: Those steak knives are cool, I'd love them!

:yeahthat:

Fine. No laundry detergent for Dymphna for Valentine's Day. Got it. Think I'll just snuggle her instead.

I may sound ungrateful but those presents are pretty lame. A simple card and a "Happy Valentine's Day" would do for me. I would be super pissed if my hubby wasted money on any of that stuff.

Man, reading this thread makes me feel sorry for guys. :lol:

Man, reading this thread makes me feel sorry for guys. :lol:

That is why women are supposed to read the men magazines (Maxim, Gq, etc...) and men read Cosmo... so they know what women really want.

If my man got me any of those things I wouldnt complain because remember it is the thought that counts right :wink:

$35 for a bottle of fabric softener.... a $90 throw pillow.... give me a break...:killingme

Feeling the need to exchange gifts for Valentine's Day is just silly.

Or they could ask. :lol:

Yeah, and heaven help the guy who doesn't get his girl anything. :lol:

I feel like those are better gifts for a gq guy to get his boyfriend :justsayin: a 90 dollar pillow? I would seriously question his manhood if that's what he came up with for me. Or that ugly ass chunk of plastic ring on a piece of string? I would probably think he found it in his toolbox last minute..:killingme

then again..we don't really "do" presents for valentines..a card, some flowers, maybe go to dinner..much more my style than overpriced laundry soap.

Yeah, and heaven help the guy who doesn't get his girl anything. :lol:Hubby never gets me anything... we're celebrating 5 years in August. :shrug:

Valentines Day? What is that?

Valentines Day? What is that?

Exactly. I don't make a big deal of it because it's a stupid holiday. My anniversary is a celebrated day for me and my husband -- not Valentine's Day, along with millions of other people.

I LOVE the jammies.

:yeahthat:

I would also swoon over a Dustbuster with a power brush (if they still make them)

My "rescue kitty" is a shedder. She's black and lives on an all white bed. :lol:

:yay: Just for the record, I don't think being practical is sounding ungrateful at all. I just think those snots who replied to article do! :lol:

Seriously, Valentine's Day is such a big marketing ploy. While it's nice to be appreciated and thought of - I think it's childish and snotty to expect something and complain when it's not up to whatever expectations the giftee may have.

Fine. No laundry detergent for Dymphna for Valentine's Day. Got it. Think I'll just snuggle her instead.I'd be quite happy with a good snuggle. :smoochy:

Yeah, and heaven help the guy who doesn't get his girl anything. :lol:

Honestly I don't need a material gift. Some quality time (without children preferable) would be just fine. Unfortunately, since V-day is on a weekday, we have kid-related extracurricular activities. The weekend before also has kid related extra-curricular activities, including a birthday party for one of them.... Carving out some extra time in there somewhere would be close to a miracle, so that would be the best gift of all.

Hubby never gets me anything... we're celebrating 5 years in August. :shrug:

We don't really do much for Valentine's Day either, usually cook breakfast or dinner together, or he'll get me some conversation hearts because I love them. But reading comments about the gift ideas in the article, sounds like those women wouldn't be happy with anything! Ingrates!

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered the gift for the LOMY. Chocolate covered apricots. She'll get them early, but....
Thanks for the reminder.

Does anyone ever get those teddy bears they advertise all over the place around VD? Now THAT is a dumb present.

I'm getting Larry a new refrigerator for Valentine's. I'll like it more than he will, but technically it's for him.

:buddies: Beer Fridge!! :buddies: We don't do anything big for Valentine's either. Maybe a little gag gift (pair of heart boxers for him, and a balloon for me type of thing), or go out to eat. But, we can do that any time!

I'm thinking that the women who had such negative comments on the items on the list would probably appreciate a "coupon" from their other half to actually use such products to help out from time to time! I'm lucky, Hubby does dishes, laundry, bathrooms, and mops floors! We just take turns.

thinking this year will be a bit of a let down. 2 years ago we bought our new car for VD, last year got a new house. this year, can't afford to buy jack! (but we've got a reliable vehicle and a beautiful house so really, what more do we nee anyway :grin:)

Are you talking about the Vermont Bears? I got one from an ex about 10 years ago

$90 for a pillow? :shocked:
