I've never received a "crappy" gift from anyone. A Gift is a Gift and its never mandatory..., and its the thought that counts.

The Necco hearts? (I think they are Necco...Necco makes horrible candy no matter what) I hate those little nasties. LoL One of the worst candies ever.
I don't think I've gotten a bad gift. Well, I haven't gotten a lot of gifts at all. My mom would get me like little candies or a card. My boyfriend got me lingerie, chocolate covered strawberries, a huge bouqet of flowers, teddy bear, card.....and that was my first and only valentines day so far.
Crappy candy sucks but I don't really care about the gifts so much on V Day.

I love the Brach's conversation hearts...I already ate a whole bag, lol. Thank goodness I gave up candy for Lent! Anyway, I think the thought is sweet. My husband gets me flowers every year. I got a lovely bouquet of tulips (I know flowers are cliche, but roses are wayyyy too much). We used to go all out, but now we keep it pretty low-key. Nothing much in the way of gifts and usually just a nice dinner in because going out is a nightmare.

I don't think gifts are necessary but I hate when people are anti-Valentines Day. For me, my boyfriend is very sweet, but he isnt the suprise-me-with-flowers type anymore. So valentines Day is the one day for him to do that.
I agree, exchanging gifts every V-day isn't really necessary. But doing something special will always be important to me.

Oh boy I thought...except that they were FAKE and came in a PLASTIC, cystal look-a-like vase. Gross! My mom sold them in the garage sale for $.50 when i went off to college. LOL

LoL well thats no fun! Christmas is my favorite. V-day has only recently become special after meeting my boyfriend. My birthdays the day after V-day, so i don't really need two days of gifts...
Nobody should need a special day to spoil their partner. But nobody is perfect lol. I'm the kind of person that likes to do random surprises every once in awhile. My boyfriend...just doesn't get me flowers anymore. He will if he knows whats good for him!
I only ask for one day a year. Thats not bad. What about on anniversaries, do you guys exchange gifts then?

We pretty much buy each other everything that we want when we want. We actually NEVER exchange gifts........and we can rarely think of anything that we need or want until we see it and impulsively buy it.
Part of this is because I hate the retail hype that comes with holidays and I am a rebellious asshole.......I think the fact that we are both brutally selfish is a reason as well.

ugh, i will tell you crappy gift.
Last year, I got a thing of roses from someone(or so I thought) that I really liked. Then I found out a stupid "friend" of mine did it as a joke. The flowers were pretty but i was pissed!

Hmm...I've never really received any bad gifts for vday. I didn't even get a gift for my bf this year except for a card. We usually would get gifts for each other if it's our birthdays or anniversary.

Well, I won't be getting anything for Valentines day, even though I'm in a 1.5 year relationship. The Valentine's Day customs in Japan are quite different from the west.
Women give chocolates to their boyfriends, crushes, and men who they feel indebted to (co-workers etc). However, many people refer to the chocolates as "obligation chocolates" because they feel like they have to get really good chocolates for a bunch of people who they don't give a toss about.
Then in March is White day, where the men are supposed to reciprocate. Maybe I'll get something then. I wore pink today anyways, and made brownies for my co-workers. Male and Female!
