Objects last until they break, but lessons learned can last a lifetime. Give a gift dedicated to you as a couple this year - classes for two. Choose a class that has a little heat, like dance, wine tasting, or yoga.

In times of deceit, the truth will set you free

It's about romance, it isn't about chocolates or flowers or unplanned vacations. Men have either lost the art of romance or never knew it and women accept material gifts as a substitute. Women it's your fault because you put up with it, don't.

Guys, romance does not have cost a gazillion dollars and the true way into a woman's heart is through mental affection not physical. Do something original not something everyone else does. That said, romance can and should be simple without costly material bobbles. Want to be a hit, try this. Acquire some different melon, grapes and good cheeses, not much just a little. If she has some bubble bath, great, if not buy a small amount that compliments her perfume. Get a bottle of white wine (I'll suggest Vouray), champagne if you can afford it but it isn't necessary. Make small melon balls (remove the seeds), peel the grapes (remove seeds), slice cheese thinly and cut to small pieces. Draw her a bubble bath and let her soak, then surprise her with the melons and grapes and wine. Serve her while she soaks. The memory will far outlast any flowers or chocolates or trip you can't afford.

How about a promise to never celebrate Valentines day ever again?

Stupid holiday, either people are alone or they should probably show their love more than once a year or they will be alone soon.

How about a good book about marriage, food and travel! I am halfway through Victoria Allman's new book "SEAsoned: A Chef’s Journey With Her Captain" and think it would make a great Valentine's Gift. It even has some delicious recipes sprinkled through the book for cooking inspiration. You can check it out here - http://www.victoriaallman.com/seasoned

Didn't even read this one...
Just thought it was a funny title.
Seems to me that personalities might be slightly more varied.

Valentine's day is a SCAM. I treat my queen right EVERY DAY with LOVE, affection, home cooked organic meals, delicious wine, chocolates, and surprise her with vacation time when she LEAST EXPECTS IT

... cherubs shooting heart shaped arrows, give me a break.

Please, please, PLEASE stop advocating pets as gifts. It doesn't matter if you adopt or buy them, a pet is NOT A GIFT, it is akin to getting married. The person who is "receiving" the pet needs to choose the pet and on their own timetable. The pet YOU like when YOU'RE ready is not necessarily the one they will actually love and care for properly their whole lives.

I agree that the person on the receiving end needs to be involved through the whole process, you can't pick a pet for someone else.

But... you could offer to pay the adoption fee, and go with them as they are looking for a new pet.

Great idea, I'll repurpose my old underwear to show my girlfriend how much she means to me.

Seems like these are great gifts for environmentalists not every personality as the title states.
01:25 PM on 02/10/2011
Yeah, I noticed that too. Though I suppose there is a lot of waste on Valentines day. Who keeps all those cards?!

Anyone seriously considering a piece of "green" jewelry should visit LeberJeweler.com. Back in 1999, before "eco-friendly" was part of our lexicon, they designed the first collection of fine jewelry that combines conflict-free diamonds, fairly traded colored gemstones, and environmentally conscious precious metals. They're 3rd generation jewelers, so they have tons of experience. But they're also artisans and humanitarians. I wouldn't buy my jewelry from anyone else.

Nice comments and good info. They sound like someone to trust; all of this 'organic', 'eco', 'green' labeling seems more of a fad, and a questionable one at that.

Not the place for gift advice, apparently.
