Love
Blooms
Right after I got engaged a few years ago, I went to
buy a dozen roses for my fiancé for valentines day,
not realizing how expensive this gesture would be.
Not being able to afford my gift of choice, I decided to buy a dozen packets of seeds so that my fiancé
could grow her own flowers. She enjoyed the flowers for several months after Valentine's Day and
now expects seeds every year from her cherub boy.

It's
Not The Words
The first Valentine gift I
received from my hubby was after 10 years of marriage.
He can't read or write so he had never
bought me a card, then on our 10th Valentines together he
came in with a card and a beautiful velvet box.
He was so proud but when I opened the card it was a
Get Well card and I had to make a few verses up to save his
pride, he never found out I did that, and I LOVED him
more that day then I think one person could love another!

Valentine Treasure
My favorite valentine story happened about two years
ago. My five year old daughter came home from kindergarten
saying she hadn't gotten me anything for "LOVE"
day. I laughed and told her not to worry about
it. About an hour later she came indoors and handed me a
rock. I said what's this, she told me my
present. I took a good look at this rock and she had used fingernail polish and created a beautiful
heart with the words "I luv you" on it. I treasure that rock and will
forever. That is my most precious Valentine gift ever.

It's The Thought That Counts
The year 1967,We were newlyweds and my husband wanted to
get me flowers for Valentine's Day, not real flowers but something that
would last, so he got me a huge bouquet of artificial flowers with sand
in the bottom and had them delivered to my work,
needless to say I was shocked! He was so proud I didn't have the heart to tell him they were
flowers to put on a grave. (I have never told him to this day)

Full of Hearts
Last year, I was a little short on cash, so I
had to think of something cheap to get me past
the 14th. Just as I was becoming desperate, I
thought of the perfect gift. I bought two sheets
of red construction paper and cut them into
little hearts. Then I made a hearts and cupids
label for a mason jar. On each heart I wrote
down something that I loved about my fiancé and
put it in the jar. A little ribbon and it was
the best gift I could have gotten anywhere.

The
Smallest Things
Valentines day, 1967 I received a small package from my
then fiancé delivered from Viet Nam. It contained a small red heart
pin with the words "Sweetheart" written in gold script on it. I have very proudly and lovingly worn that pin every
Valentines day since. It of course has no monetary value but it brings back many sweet
memories of our courtship and a marriage that I can happily say is
going on 32 years.

Valentine
Journal
The
best Valentine I had was when my friend one
month prior to Valentine's Day decided to write
a journal on our days together. He then gave me
this with a card which was printed on "when
I write the story of my life could I include you
in it?"

Finer Things in Life
When my husband and I first started dating, we talked about
everything, as most new couples do. I told him that I was not a
materialistic person at all and that I enjoyed the simpler things in
life. And told him that sometimes when people do off the wall things,
it means more. I had commented that I would rather have Ravioli by
candlelight as opposed to a huge expensive meal, because something like
that actually requires thought. Well, on our first Valentines together
(in 97), he made reservations at Applebee's, a restaurant here. After
being seated and ordering our drinks, we were sitting there talking,
and our waitress came out....she was carrying a tray that had 2 candles
and 2 bowls of Chef Boyardee Ravioli!! :)
It was so funny, everyone was staring at us, but we didn't care. He had called ahead and talked the
staff there into doing this for him. It was the greatest Valentine's
present ever!

Leave Something Behind
Last Valentine's I bought several bags of red and silver foiled
Hershey's kisses. I left them in a trail throughout
the apartment for my husband to follow. They lead him to a note saying
" Just wanted to kiss the ground you walk on". After he figured out
that I didn't just through candy on the floor and leave it, he loved
the idea! Thanks

Yourself
I like to do things different every year for Valentine's
Day. I'm not a fan of flowers, candy, or bears. So one
year for my husband I went and got a couple of sheets of
red, pink, and white posterboard. I wrote out different
sayings on each one: Will You Be Mine Scott?, Hugs and
Kisses, Happy Valentines Day! I got up real early on
Valentine's Day and put a few signs up in our yard with
stakes and balloons. I nailed a few around the
neighborhood and then took a few up on the highway. My
husband loved it. There were so many people who saw them
and said something to him about them. He loved it!

Last Valentines day I cut out about 50 red,
pink, and white hearts out of construction paper and wrote little
sayings on each one then while away at work I taped them all over his
room. I left a plate of heart shaped sugar cookies tied to a balloon on
his bed. I have never seen him so happy!
