Those hearts taste like chalk.
Valentine's Day is just not a big deal to me though. I pretty much ignore it.
I do look forward to Independence Day though.

The crappiest gift I received (or not received) was from an exboyfriend when he told me "I didn't get you roses or candy, because roses and candy is for saying 'I'm sorry.'" I was like WTF.. what a douche! HAHAH.

Haha. Stupid boys. Reminds me of my Dad. He went up to my Mom and said, "I saw some roses at the store and though of buying them for you, but then I decided why to waste money." I was 11 at the time and thinking, 'WTH? Do you want to get beaten up that badly?'

The worst Valentine's Day ever for me was last year when the hubby and I miscarried after trying for two years to conceive. But God blessed us with a wonderful son so things worked out in the end. This year the hubby and I went to church and lit a candle for our lost Baby Bean.

Same here. I'll buy for the kids at Christmas and birthdays but I don't need ONE day a year to spoil my wife. We spoil each other all year.

A gift is a gift, regardless of what the gift actually is. Don't be ungrateful about it, just appreciate the sentiment behind it.
Separate to that, if romance (or just appreciating your partner) is something you can only express on one set day of the year then that's a sad and sorry state of affairs.

Well, it wasn't for Valentine's day that I received something really unusual. I was taken care of an elderly lady and she passed from natural causes. We were very close. She was a living little doll. Her son wanted to give me something special for taking really good care of her. He gave me all of his mother's unused enemas. It was a total of 72 boxes.
I saw the title of the thread and somehow my mind linked it to that memory. Who in Hell, but me receives enemas? Yes, it's the thought. I know. Wait! ???

^^^ omg, you'd be the only one, I'm quite sure!
When we first started dating, we did gifts and such, but now we pretty much buy what we want on our own, which makes 'gift exchange' too difficult. We buy a big ticket item for the house at Christmas, have a really expensive dinner out for birthdays and our anniversary, and takeout on Valentine's (I refuse to deal with the crowds of people). He still claims the year I bought satin sheets for Valentine's day was the best one ever.
We're more apt to randomly buy stuff for one another when we see something we know the other would love. I rather prefer "I saw this and knew you'd love it" on July 8th rather than "Well it's Feb 14th, so I was required to buy you something."

Am I the only one who likes those Necco hearts? They are delish! In fact, they're the only thing that got me through my crappy birthday...which is on Valentine's day! Honestly, the worst gift I've ever gotten is my stupid birthday. Try and get a reservation somewhere. No one believes it's actually for my birthday, like, people aren't born on holidays or something, haha.

The only thing those hearts were good for was when I was 8 years old and me and my friends would play around and give the funny/silly ones out. Or just read them.
Then I'd always put them in my mouth anyways and ended up spitting them out. Ugh, I hate those I swear I do. They are good for absolutely nothing in my book lol.

LOL this thread is funny. The worst v-day gift i ever got was a little tiny bottle of Lucky perfume from my retarded ex boyfriend. That blew chunks. My husband surprised me with a HUGE teddy bear I've been eyeing for the past month yesterday. It was great. I think what made it so special is that he doesn't celebrate v-day. He always surprises me with flowers and sweet things like that. He doesn't feel he needs a specific day to show me how much he loves me but, he went out and bought the teddy for me. I love him!
