I’m beyond excited to share a fun Valentine’s date idea from the Dating Divas. Because it involves my favorite guy. Channing Tatum. You thought I was going to say Josh didn’t you? Ha! Had you fooled.
I’m not a new Channing fan. My love goes back to his Step Up days. I went with some of my good friends to see it on the big screen and the rest is history. I still claim that movie as one of my favorites. (go ahead and judge me) Given the option to share an idea with you, it seemed like the clear choice had to be The Vows date. Josh scored MAJOR brownie points by taking me to see it in the theater for an early Valentine’s date. My other favorite movie is the Notebook. I love Rachel McAdams too. Having both of them in one movie was fabulous. Needless to say, this one was quickly added to the list of favorites. I’m not always that girly and predictable but when it comes to movies, I’ll take chick flicks any day of the week. Ok let’s get going on with this date shall we?
The Dating Divas shared their idea for writing their own vows because they didn’t get to share vows at their wedding. Josh and I didn’t either so I think this is a fantastic idea.
I created another version of the printable shared over there:
I can’t wait to have Josh put his thoughts down. He looks and acts like a big, tough guy but really he’s a big teddy bear. He’s got everyone (but me) fooled. He’s really romantic and sensitive when he wants to be. And that’s what got me hook line and sinker. Sixteen years ago on Valentine’s Day he spoiled the heck out of me and then told me he loved me. You see a cute picture of him from our first Valentine’s day. We like to celebrate special days in a big way- see how I spoiled him on our anniversary a few years ago: Anniversary on the Hour.
Download a copy of your own printable vows. For personal use only. Thanks!
Ok….. onto the basket! This basket contains everything you’d want to have your own “Vow” date at home.
- $50 Visa gift card to use on dinner, a little something special to wear, or whatever you like!
- “The Vow” DVD
- Printable vows
- Candies- Swedish Fish, Lindt Chocolates + more
- Popcorn
- Rubber Ducky, loofah, bath crystals and bath goodies
- Adorable mint basket
Are you dying over the Target mint green basket as much as I am? I don’t really want to give it away. Dang.
With everything in the basket you can: go to dinner (or order take out, have something delivered, you get the idea), cuddle up and watch The Vow with some treats and then take a nice warm bath. It’s my ideal way to spend Valentine’s Day.

It would be nice to go out to dinner. We haven’t been able to go out for valentines day since we got married and I would love to receive some flowers
my favorite vday gift was my first at age 15…the cutest little bear and a picture of me and my valentine :)
A massage table. I know it sounds weird, but hubby insists on never getting a massage. He only gives me massages on it. He calls it my table. ;)
So cute! Love this!
My favorite is getting a date with my hubby.
Favorite valentine’s gift was hubby doing fourteen days of valentine’s countdown with cute stuff for everyday. It was super creative and he put a lot of time into it.
I love those cute little heart paperclips!
Roses were my favorite gift.
I love to give my kids cute little gifts for Valentines Day.
My favorite valentines gift was when my husband surprised me with tickets to see one of my favorite bands!
My favorite gifts ever are long loved notes!!!
flowers or candy
Flowers!
I really need help celebrating this year right :)
Our Anniversary is a couple days before Valentine’s so we usually celebrate the two together. This year will be our 10th Anniversary and I am hoping for a nice night away with my hubby!
Help me celebrate with my sweetheart!
Help me celebrate valentines day!
I need help to celebrate valentines day with my husband. He isn’t big on cards and stuff so it is usually up to me.
My best vday gift was a necklace from my husband! Unfortunately we’ll both be working all night on valentines this year. :-(
My most memorable valentines was the one after my husband and I got engaged. It was the first time he ever bought me flowers and since I had to work that night, he had them delivered to my work! It was very special!
My best valentines day present was the year my husband wrote and recorded a song for me! It was so sweet. Your gift basket looks great!!
I’ve always been a sucker for flowers wrapped in paper and chocolate <3 He knows this and he never let's me down. This year will be 29 years of Valentine's days together.
My favorite Valentine’s Day was the first with my husband, 5 years ago. Not to say they haven’t been good since but you remember how exciting things are in the beginning ;)
We were doing the long distance thing and I went to see him in Jersey. He had a fun filled weekend planned. All surprises <3
My best valentine gift was finding love notes and heart candies all over the house and in my bag for work when hubby had to go to a conference during valentines day.
a night without the kids would be nice! :)
I’d love to receive a massage… And maybe chocolate too. :)
I love to go out for dinner with my husband. I’m happy to receive a Valentine Card.
Love all your designs! Favorite vday gift was painted pottery from kiddos!
Love this basket! Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays!
I’ve never received a Valentine except from my kids when they were little ….I did get one in 6th grade…But I’m ever hopeful…. lol
Carri
My favorite gift to many was strange but to fellow crafty people won’t be, a sewing machine, I asked for one and he got me one for Valentines day!
I usually make a rich, chocolatey dessert, but I haven’t decided what I’m making this year. Love the giveaway basket!!
I would love to win this! I’m hoping for a date this year with my husband… Something nice maybe a surprise date! :) I love getting thoughtful gifts from my husband that means something special to us.
This year the hubs and I will actually attempt to go out to dinner. Fingers crossed!
Dinner out! And Chocolate!
For our first Valentine’s date as a couple my husband surprised me with a couple’s dancing class and dinner at a fancy restaurant in downtown Chicago. Now, a little time spent just the two of us–no kids, no dog,no distractions would be heaven!
Love your blog!
Wellington, my stuffed bear. <3
I come here because there is an encouragement found in few very other places.
My favorite V-Day gift was a basket my husband got that included a movie, a bottle of wine, some chocolate and a beautiful pink and purple (not sure what the jewels were this much later) ring that was absolutely beautiful!!
I love the handmade cards and gifts that my girls make.
I would love the movie and the giftcard!
My favorite was a night stay at a nice hotel with dinner and chocolate strawberries. Love the basket! What a great giveaway!
Honestly, I just want See’s every year… my husband isn’t creative, so I just tell him to get me that and a candle and there we go.
P.S. Love the oreos!
My favorite Valentine’s day gift is a picture my daughter colored for me. I’ve never been one for the day, but seeing the excitement through her eyes made it the best ever! Happy Valentine’s day!
Your basket is great, love the color! Going out for dinner was the usual, although sometimes I was surprised with a loving card and flowers. Thanks for the giveaway.
The Lindt chocolates look delicious! That’s really all I ever want is some really good dark chocolate!
One year my husband got me a diamond necklace for valentines day, which was a total shock since we don’t usually make a big fuss over gifts for each other. He tucked it inside a coffee mug and coffee gift card so I wasn’t expecting to find jewelry!
I love a free kids date night. :)
favorite valentine’s day gift was a few years ago when my husband got me tickets to the lion king on broadway. :)
Jewelry is my a favorite gift
My favorite Valentine’s day gift is a card my husband gave me-three years in a row. He actually went out and bought the same card three years in a row! The best part is he didn’t realize it until I brought it up. His response was he must have liked the sentiment.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a pair of sunglasses…I could never find a pair that I liked on my face shape and somehow my Valentine was able to do so.
My husband and I go out to dinner each year. Valentine’s week is the anniversary of us getting together.
I love the date night for Valentines Day :)
my favorite is night with hubby without kids and few and far between!
My fav valentine’s gift is always flowers!
My favorite valentines gift was tickets to see the vow when it came out and a huge tub of popcorn :)
I LOVE that basket! I keep eyeing it at Target. My husband and I don’t really do much for Valentine’s Day. Sometimes we get each other a card and maybe go out to dinner!
My favorite is a kid free date night!
My plans for valentines day is to make it out of work alive with chocolate in my hand
I like to get flowers for Valentine’s Day, but this year I asked for something more practical – hiking socks! We are trying to get into hiking :) I’m gifting my boyfriend with Light Saber chopsticks! I found them online and he has been hinting about them – he’ll be thrilled!
We’re empty nesters and able to enjoy romance at a new level. My husband’s recent medical test results, however, will make me grateful for a hug, kiss, and those three words that mean so much – I love you.
This year my fiance and I will be in Texas. I’ve never been there (I live in New York), so I have no idea what to expect! I love the basket!
We plan to go out to dinner for Valentine’s Day. I also think I’ll make a big chocolate cake!
Really any surprise from my husband is a great gift. I love making creative Valentine’s with my kids.
Awesome basket by the way! Love The Vow.
A new wedding ring:)
I am excited for V-Day because we are getting a sitter and going out to dinner!! Wahoo! Gone are those adventurous, young days where we did really exciting things. But I am seriously looking forward to an evening without the baby:)
When I was younger, my family had a Valentine’s tradition similar to Christmas stockings. We would decorate lunch bags or gift bags and set them out on the mantle to fill them up with fun stuff for each other in the days leading up to Valentine’s day.
I would love to recieve your chocolate peanut butter cups (made from your recipe) for Valentine’s day!
I am going to the St George Parade of homes for valentines day
I love getting a gift certificate to my favorite spa. My husband likes to bring me flowers and my girls always makes me the sweetest valentines.
The best valentine gift i got was a surprise visit to my fiance! He was so surprised it made the day great! I like to see the things you make and ideas that you come up with! It inspires me to be crafty!! I really enjoy you giving us the printable to some the things you post! Thank you!!
My husband loves geography and maps so he would appreciate the globe valentine decor in your Valentines section.
Spending time with my hubby.
A box of chocolates is my favorite!
Plan on putting the kids to bed early!!!
My favorite Valentines gift was a trip to San Francisco. Of course, it was also our honeymoon. :)
I’ve never cared much about Valentine’s Day until now that I have kids old enough to enjoy it. Now I want to show them lots and lots of mushy love.
My boyfriend gave me a claddagh ring last year :)
Your basket idea is perfect for Valentines Day. I came to your blog today as a part of this blog hop, but then I realized I’ve been to your blog before looking at recipes! Thanks!
I’m just happy V-day is on a Friday this year. My fella lives 3 ans 1/2 hours away so, we”ll actually get to see each other.
I have very traditional tastes in Valentine’s day gifts…. a little chocolate, flowers a card and a nice dinner
My boyfriend has always worked or had class on Valentine’s day so we haven’t really celebrated it, but this year will be the first time we actually get to spend it together. A few years ago, however, I did celebrate, but with a dear friend. We got dressed up and went to dinner and a special early preview of a movie and it was a fantastic best friend date! Movie dates are the best, so this giveaway is a wonderful idea!
I am madly in love with my guy AND with your basket! I love the romance of it all, and it sparks fresh ideas for me to try. Your creativity and whimsical flair are what draw me in to Thirty Handmade Days again & again. Thanks for the chance to win such a fun experience XOXO
I love getting flowers!
My husband is not exactly great at the Valentine’s Day gifts. He always defaults to flowers…but I’m ok with that. He gets my favorite: roses (cliche, I know).
I love food. So I just like getting a pie from my favorite restaurant.
My favorite gift was a dozen roses.
My husband wrote me a poem called “What is Love?” for our first Valentine’s Day (we’d only been dating about a month and a half). I loved it! A few years later, I printed a large copy of it and framed it and gave that to him for Valentine’s Day. It now hangs on our bedroom wall. :)
LOVE this fun blog hop! My favorite Valentine’s gift? Hmm – well, I suppose at the time I didn’t see it as a gift but when our only was little, our babysitter backed out on Valentine’s Day night and instead of cancelling our Reservation for dinner out, we dressed up and brought her with us… which turned into a family tradition of celebrating love all together as a family! (Then of course – there is always chocolate!)
He does the dishes….. that works for me!
My favorite v day gift was a fossil watch my hubby gave me when we were dating. It was so pretty! I loved that thing! Since we’ve been married though, we forgo the gift thing and just try to go out to a nice dinner. Where depends on our current circumstances. .. last year was smashburger… So really as long as I don’t have to cook then most anything qualifies as a nice dinner! Lol
I’m excited for Valentine’s Day this year because it is our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple!
People say Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday and just created to get folks to spend money. I say poppycock! I will happily celebrate any day that is out there to show my hubs some love! Velentine’s Day is super fun! I kinda miss having Velentines for my whole class.
Sad, I know… but I don’t remember a great Valentine’s Day. Our anniversary is in January and our daughter’s birthday is Feb 12, my birthday is in March, his in April, so Valentine’s Day usually gets overlooked…
One of my favorite Valentine’s traditions we do in our family is having mini mailboxes. Every day, our children wake to a treat from us – could be a candy, something handmade, a coupon for something special (no chores, ice cream date, etc.) They can also leave each other mail in their boxes secretly. It’s a fun activity that helps remind them how much we love each member of our family! :)
My favorite vday gift…we really don’t buy v-day gifts for each other.
My FAVORITE gift for Valentine’s Day is chocolate covered strawberries and a card from my husband. I love to share the strawberries with him. It’s started to be come our Valentine’s Day tradition!
My husband and I met in February on OKCupid. So he has been the best Valentine’s gift ever!
My favorite gift I have ever gotten was my husband!!! We were married Valentine’s Day 2014. This year will be our 10 year anniversary. We have 4 kids, the youngest being 6 months so we won’t be able to celebrate alone. The fact that after 10 years he is still the man of my dreams is gift enough though.
This Valentine’s Day I will be going to see a movie called About Last Night with Kevin Hart…
A beautiful set if small silver earrings.
I love getting handmade valentine’s from my kids.
My favorite Valentine gift would have to be a heart shaped amethyst ring my husband gave me on our first Valentine’s Day!
I love valentine’s day more than most in my family. I love letting EVERYONE know that they are cared for. Not romantically, just loved. I love love. I remember making cupcakes for school with my mom when I was little and being all giddy inside to share them with my friends!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a small teddy bear, from my very first boyfriend when I was 14. I have not seen or heard from him in well over a decade, but I still have the teddy bear and still think back very fondly of him and wish him happiness. =)
My favorite gifts for valentines day is always flowers and chocolate!! Im a pretty simple gal!
I’d really like to try to make those Meringue ice cream cones, very adorable!!! I don’t have much luck with Meringue thought, lol. Thanks for the chance!
I LOVE this idea!! I can’t wait to spend Valentines Day at home curled up with my hubby and 3 kids, just enjoying my family. :)
Well, my present is always new jewelry but my favorite part is our day trip we take every valentines.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!! I’d love to have a date night!! That’s really the best Valentines gift I can think of…
We are going to celebrate Valentine’s with our kids! Maybe a special dinner out and a movie!
I think my favorite gift was an Edible Arrangement, when my husband was deployed. Other than that, just being able to spend time with those I love! :)
Relax and spend time with the kids! the best gifts are the homemade ones :) or food. Can’t go wrong with food.
I think one of my favorite gifts was my kindle touch, because my husband was very thoughtful about it. I was going to have a baby soon and he thought it would be good while I was nursing.
Chocolates, and I love to make valentines day crafts with my kids + chocolate dessert fondue for the whole family on Valentine’s day. Its sort of a family tradition. I would like some more creative ideas for it though. :)
I just love the excuse to spend a night together with my wonderful man!
I love Valentine’s Day! I can not wait to spend it with my sweet boyfriend. We started dating around Valentine’s day last year.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was the handwritten love note inside the goofy card my husband got me last year (our first Valentine’s day together).
My husband is a police officer, and he’s working on Valentines day. This year, I’m making dinner for the WHOLE SHIFT. :) Lasagna, bread sticks, salad and brownies. <3
My first Valentines Gift was Roses and Oriental lilies, the were in a beautiful crystal red vase. Loved them!
My favorite Valentines Day gift was the heart shaped ruby jewelry set that my husband gave to me on our very first Valentines Day together.
jweezie43[at]gmail[dot]com
We are going out to dinner for V-day.
We don’t usually do a lot on Valentines day. Thanks for the chance
Coldstone ice cream!
My favorite valentine’s day gift was dinner cooked for me by my husband. I didn’t even have to clean up!
My hubby has always gotten me amazing valentines day gifts! But the cutest most simple one he has ever given me was a homemade heart shaped valentines day card + homemade cupcakes. I’d love to receive my husband for valentines day, since he is currently DEPLOYED !
Just spending time with my is what I want on Valentine’s day. Period.
Hi! I just found your website from The Dating Divas! I am so excited to check out your posts and try your awesome ideas! This is my first Valentine’s Day with my husband. We got married this past summer after dating for 5 years. I would love to win this basket to use for Valentine’s Day this year and make my husband’s day! Thanks for the opportunity!
Flowers, of course! :)
My husband first asked me out on Valentine’s Day so it’s always had special memories for me!
Your gift basket looks like a wonderful way to help celebrate Valentine’s Day!!! My husband and I usually get special gifts for our children to express our love for them, but we never really do anything huge. After the kids go to bed, we usually have some quiet time with a glass of wine and some treats.
My favorite gift was a beautiful eternity ring. 10 yrs ago.. My husband use to always get me flowers and candy. Since our budget is tight, last year we sat by the fire and talked about our memories for the last 22 yrs. We also make each other cards. (I get good ideas from your site)
Thanks for the chance.
[email protected]
I love thoughtful cards and candy!
I have no idea what our plans are this year because my husband is insisting on surprising me! I can’t wait to find out :)
I haven’t had a whole lot of good Valentine’s days, but what I love best about it is making handmade cards for those I love.
I love getting chocolates – especially dark. One year we attended a small venue concert (think: coffee shop size) from one of our favorite performers.
My husband wrote me a beautiful letter one year that I still cherish…
My husband sent a letter to my favorite musician asking her to send me songwriting tips for V-day. SHE DID! on the back of a napkin. Best.gift.ever. I can never beat that. :)
My favorite Valentine’s day gifts have always been from my kids. My husband and I don’t normally do anything for each other for V-day. It’s the little items from the kids that make me tear up.
I would LOVE for my husband to be mushy on V-day…but he is exactly the opposite of me, so…I have to do the mushy things. So far, I guess my favorite Valentine’s gifts are the handmade ones from my kids! Especially the ones with their little feet made into a heart <3
Our first Valentine’s Day together he was still Active Duty Army. I went up to Ft. Hood to visit him and he had his barracks room decorated. Candles, rose petals, a bouquet of roses, a book of e-mails we had sent back and forth while he was deployed (we met while he was deployed…that’s a book in itself!), and a basket full of goodies. It was SO sweet!
Two years ago, he made me a homemade beautiful recipe box. It’s the only one I use :)
I’ve always loved receiving things like chocolate covered strawberries, instead of flowers!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gifts have been handmade cards from my kids! I would love to make your loom bracelet with printable with my kids…too cute! Thank you for this fabulous giveaway!! :)
My favorite Valentine’s gift was from my husband. He created a scavenger hunt all around the city we lived in. Stops included our favorite places and restaurants. The hunt ended back at our house where we had a low key night just the two of us!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a Sweetheart Conversation cake and Heart Pendant Necklace. excited for this giveaway The Vow is my favorite movie!
I am excited to spend out first vday as husband and wife this year!
I love Valentine’s Day because it is another day to share my love with my daughter and husband! Love the gift basket!
I like the strawberry oreo idea. The bear v-day gift I received was a love note from my husband
The best valentines gift ive gotten was my boyfriend. he s the best thing that has ever happened to me
My favorite Valentine’s surprise/gift was my boyfriend said he had to work over the weekend so we were going to celebrate Valentine’s Day the next weekend. When I got home from work on Valentine’s Day he had made a nice dinner, then had popcorn and a “chick flick” ready to watch. And of course he surprised me with our little black lab who is pretty much our everything and our kid for the moment :-)
my favorite vday gift was a vera bradley purse and wallet and business card holder
Last year my husband gave me a picture of us inside of a picture frame that he made. I thought that was super sweet. I also love getting flowers!
I love Valentine’s! It is the one night I know I can get an official date with my hubby!
I would love to just have a romantic date alone with my husband.
Very excited about this giveaway! I really hope that I win your basket as I am 30 weeks pregnant and I LOVE taking baths!
My favorite Valentine’s Day I surprised my boyfriend with cookies.
love this basket! would be so gracious to win this! want to do something special for my special man this year!
Romantic dinner with my wife.
I am SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS SITE! It looks really adorable and clever. Im probably going to be pulling an all nighter on this site. hahahah
I love a little personal alone time with the hubs out to dinner. Just to talk and focus on eachother without distraction!
Love the basket. Sin e kids valentines day is always geared toward them. Which I love but this would be perfect for my hubby and me to focus on us.
Love number 1 and number 3!
My favorite valentines day gift is the one I received from husband after we found out I was pregnant. 1 giant stuffed frog holding a heart and a smaller plush frog wearing little frog slippers that were for the baby! It was just an awesome time in our lives!
I make my kids t shirts to wear as we make heart shaped Rice Krispies dipped in oink chocolate. It’s their favorite treat.
No plans yet, looking for ideas that’s how I found this blog! :)
I loved a coupon book that my husband gave to me last year!
Last year my husband gave me a beautiful sparkly necklace, which was not something I ever would have expected from him. It was so so sweet!
i would love pink roses!
My husband isn’t romantic at all, and I honestly can’t remember much of what he’s gotten me. My favorite memory is from college, when my boyfriend filled my dorm room with flowers, balloons, and wine and cheese. He even placed Christmas lights all over the room. It was really wonderful.
A romantic dinner with my husband!
shoes!
Flowers and time with my husband!
My favorite thing on Valentine’s Day is to spend the day with my favorite boys, my hubby and son. We keep it low key, bake some cookies, walk to the nearest park. just enjoying the wonderful Cali weather.
My hubby and I are going on a weekend marriage retreat for Valentine’s Day! :)
Super excited for this Valentine’s Day. First one together.
My favorite Valentines was last year when my amazing boyfriend (now husband) proposed using my mothers ring on the cliff where we first watched the sunset.
My favorite valentine’s day gift was an ipod that was engraved with my name on the back. I was so surprised and it was such a loving gesture!
The best gift I received was two years ago when I was pregnant with our second child. My husband cleaned our bathroom, put little candles around and started a bath for me with a new body wash/bubble bath and some new lotion for after along with a fun new Valentine’s decoration. It was so simple but I loved it because I had been saying how I wanted to take a nice bath for so long. I also love making little valentine’s with my kids for their Daddy!
I have only started celebrating valentines day over the past few years. My fave would be Berber daisies my hubby gave me.
I would love to receive a Spa day. :)
Best valentines day gift ever was my puppy from my husband 5 years ago!
We’ll be spending Valentines relaxing at home, so this basket would be perfect!
simple….date night w/o the kids!
my greatest gift was finding out i was pregnant with my 4th child!
I love making homemade Valentines gifts! This has become even more fun now that I am a mom and I receive homemade gifts as well. This year I am going to make fun Valentines with my daughter to take to her daycare.
This is our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, so I want to make is special. Just not so sure how…
I found you bcs of the basket giveaways. Doing some Blog Hopping. I am hoping that my man puts some thought into VDay. Not necessarily a gift but plan something worthwhile. I know he kept my Christmas list so what I did not get he would get it later. He’s fun that way. Just being with him in a romantic way is great.
My mother-in-law had a diamond ring she never wore, so she gave two of the stones to my then-fiance’ so he could have them re-set into earrings. I only wear them about once a year, but they’re beautiful!
I would love to get flowers for Valentines,but in 38 years of being married I have only received them one time.I always get a nice card and a box of candy.This year I want to go on a weekend getaway with my husband.
My best Valentine’s day present was when I got to come home to my husband after being away for awhile and he had decorated the house with hearts.
I am looking forward to any time I get with my husband on V-Day. He works 2 hours away and stays with a friend during the weekdays and I only get to see him Fri-Sun. Just having him home is the best gift!
I LOVE Valentines day!!
One year my mom gave me a Josh Groban cd…that is the best V-day gift ever! :)
the pink rose my husband surprised me with last year was the best valentines gift ive ever receeived. i would love to make the strawberry oreos this year for valentines. i dont know what we r going to do this year
Love getting flowers from my love. I am planning on leaving love notes Feb 1 leading up to v-day.
So glad I found your site. I love it!!!! Great ideas to make my life easier. Thank you!
Planning a weekend getaway trip this Valentine’s day. Love spending some extra alone time with my hubby!
New to your site!! Love roses or tulips & dark chocolate. And I LOVE that mint basket also!!!
This year we will likely be staying home and spending the evening with our 6 month old son. It will be better than any other Valentine’s because it will be the first one we get to spend with our little man.
I am not creative at all so I just love the fact that I found your website. I am going to copy the You float my boat basket for my family for this valentine’s 2014!! And for my child’s school friends I’m making the love bug cookies Thanks for all the great ideas.
We love to do an all red & white dinner with our kids, complete with candles. They love it and my hubby & I celebrate later! (less crowds) :)
My favorite Valentine’s gift is that my husband makes dinner for me. He rarely cooks except for in the summer when he can use the grill, but Feb. 14th is always the exception. :)
Actually, last year my hubby got me a whole selection of chick flicks and even watched a few with me!!
I plan to spend the day with my family :) maybe make some treats with the kids ;)
I will get time with my hubby alone!
no special plans this year, but I will definitely eat some chocolate.
My favorite Vday gift is simply TIME with my husband. Alone. :)
Basket full of candy and toys from my mom when I was little
He came home with the typical chocolates and my favorite flowers on our first Valentines Day. He also came home with groceries and scented bubble bath. The deal was while he was cooking, while I got to enjoy a relaxing bubble bath! It was so wonderful and romantic! He made me homemade Chicken Cordon Blue, homemade Scalloped Potatoes, Salad with homemade Dijon dressing and homemade Chocolate Mousse. I had many loves that night of delicious food and of my sweety. ;-)
We never do anything for Valentine’s Day so this year I would love to surprise my husband, even if it’s not a whole lot. My dream would be to be able to rent a hotel room for a night so we can have a night for just the two of us. The last time we had a night without the kids was 2 1/2yrs ago when we went to pick out tuxes for our wedding.

My husband is coming home on February 16th, after 6 months, so that is going to be my Valentine’s gift this year!
My husband got me a beautiful ring!
I would put this to very good use!
Looking forward to spending V-day with my family and several sweet families in the mountains!
I hope I win one
I’ve always loved getting flowers.
I love getting candy! Chocolate is my ultimate weakness! Especially if it’s peanut butter and chocolate! (=
My favorite was my husband making a surprise candle lit dinner for our Valentine’s date!
My favorite is chocolate, always chocolate :)
Visiting my grandchildren
This vday I will just make a nice dinner and dessert for my man to enjoy while I’m at work :/ I work til midnight every friday
I am loving that Valentines is making it’s way back….a lot of people don’t like Valentines day, but i think its a great holiday!!
A night out! But I’d settle for (read: LOVE) roses and a movie!
my favorite valentine gifts are kisses from my kids!
We don’t really do anything special on Valentine’s Day, but I would love to make the Strawberry Heart Oreos and use the cute bag toppers for the family.
I hope to go out on a date night with my husband because it’s been a while since we’ve had time alone together!
My favorite Valentine’s gift was my first phone call from my (now) husband. :) This Valentine’s day we will enjoy the day with our kids. Then perhaps on the weekend go out to see a movie together. We haven’t decided yet.
I’d love to make that valentines french toast! haha. I’m just hoping to have some alone time away from work this valentines day. Would be heavenly!
Unfortunately, this Valentine’s day lands on a Thursday and I have an evening class to attend….so I will be spending it with my professor and fellow students.
VDay is on a Friday
A silver rose.
Love your blog!!
I have already started making valentines! My mom always made valentines day special for me and my siblings and it has always been a favorite holiday of mine. I love showing love to my family!
This year for Valentines Day my hubs and I are just hoping to steal some alone time! With three little ones it’s hard to find the time!
My husband is working on Valentine’s day and he is usually beat when he gets home. So get the kids to bed and a quiet evening.
My favorite Valentine’s gifts are anything that my girls make with their little handprints.
New here!! Love your site!! My husband sprinkled rose petals all over the bed that led to my present <3
My favorite gift for Valentine’s day is always flowers delivered at work! Love it!
My favorite Valentine’s gift ever was my little brother – born on Valentine’s Day!
What was my favorite Valentine’s Day gift? Cheesecake. Hhahaha. I am obsessed with it.
My favorite Valentine’s day gift was when me and my boyfriend accidently ended up making each other the same valentine’s fruit dipped in chocolate bouquet and even our cards looked alike!
My favorite Valentines Day gift ever is a homemade card my husband made for me using various crafting supplies out of my craft room. He cut out hearts, used glitter and monoadhesive….the whole nine yards! He works construction and is definitely a “manly man” at heart, but his willingness to put that aside and use a little glitter completely melted my heart. :)
Cute basket. I actually haven’t ever heard of the movie, but the printable is a very sweet idea.
What a fantastic basket! I would want to have a Valentine’s Day that was relaxing and full of things I love.
My favorite valentine’s gift was a surprise gift of chocolates that were delivered to my school in high school from a friend.
I hope to have my kitchen remodel done by Valentine’s Day!!! It will be nice to wash my dishes in my sink instead of my bathtub! I’ll be thrilled to be able to cook a meal on my stove or bake something again.
My favorite Valentines Day gifts have been the sweet cards and “nick knacks” that my boys have made for me over the years. And as they have grown up the sweet cards and flowers that they bring. They are wonderful boys and have wonderful wives that I am sure help them remember to get my cards! LOL! But I love them greatly!
How do I celebrate Valentines Day is with my day care children. We have lots of fun getting ready for the big day. We start out our day with special things like heart shaped pancakes and strawberries for breakfast, then heart shaped sandwiches for lunch, and to top off the day Valentine card exchange in the afternoon with all sorts of sweet treats! I love to see them having so much fun! And I have as much fun as they do! I love your site for the wonderful Valentines Day printables! Thank you for having the wonderful things that we can use with our families.
What I would like to receive for Valentines Day this year????? A special question from that special someone that I am crazy about! TeeHeeHee!!!!
What was your favorite Valentine’s Day gift? a necklace from my boyfriend in 3rd grade. My plans for Valentines Day this is year is to stay home and RELAX.
I just found your blog by blog hopping….so creative :) My favorite valentine’s gift was the proposal and engagement ring I got 6 years ago. been married 5.5 years and still my favorite :)
My favorite valentines gift from my hubby was when he made a coupon book for me. My hubby isn’t to fond of valentines day so it meant a lot for him to do that.
Chocolate is definitely my favorite Valentines day gift.
We are going on a ski trip this year on V-Day! I am so excited.
My husband made an awesome dinner!
My husband isn’t a big fan of Valentine’s Day, and our wedding anniversary is Feb. 9th, so we usually just celebrate once for both days. I’d love to have a night out with just him – we haven’t done that in so long…I honestly cannot remember the last time!
My favorite valentines day was my very first with my how hubby from HS. He brought me to a nice dinner and ate, even though he couldn’t since he was wrestling. Included a nice little balloon and candy. We haven’t celebrate much since….I’ve been pregnant a couple times during this holiday, but he tries to make special.
My fave gift (so far) was when my hubby (then fiancé) saved up and took me to my favorite local fancy restaurant for dinner and surprised me with some dried flower jewelry I’d been wanting. :)
My favorite Valentine’s day gift ever has got to be my now husband asking me to be his girlfriend!!! *Still cheesing*
would love to share this with my boyfriend of six and a half years… i’m really hoping for a commitment to make OUR vows soon
i love the writing vows idea
My favorite Valentine’s day gift thus far has been me and my significant other getting our names tatted. This year I don’t really have plans as my spouse is miles and miles away for the time being :/
I’m doing his and hers tee shirts for Vday… i;m so excited.
My favorite gift was a live spoon my husband made for me
Looking forward to quality time with my hubby at home! I’ll make him his favorite meal and we’ll snuggle up on the couch together. We always avoid going out on Valentine’s Day!
My favorite gift was homemade chocolate rosebuds from my three kids. My husbands helped them make them from Hershey Kisses!
My husband surprised me with the biggest box of See’s candy there is!
Last year I made the 52 reasons why I love you cards and they were a big hit. He loved them and still flips through them. Right now my hubbie is out of a job and feeling very down. Winning one of these baskets will really help bring his spirits up!!!
I got a lovely necklace from my husband with a little man with a blue diamond belly. I’m not a fan of jewelry, but I loved that!
being able to get a video call from my boyfriend in Afghanistan :)
I am planning on having a romantic dinner with my man :)
21 years ago, my oldest son (who was 15 then and had an after school job) and his best friend Brady came home from working at Winn-Dixie at around 11:00 p.m. They knocked on my bedroom door came in and flooded my bed with roses! They got to bring home the left over roses and what it sweet surprise it was. I laughed and cried at the same time. I will never forget it.
My favorite Valentine’s Day happened the year I met my hubby. We met on January 3, then he came to visit me and meet my family on Valentine’s weekend–he told me he loved me then and we decided to get married! We got married about a year and a half later!
i love all the red and pink colors!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift are flowers :-)
This V-Day I’m going to send my husband flowers and fill all of his pockets with hearts for the entire month!
My favorite gift was white chocolate covered strawberries.
simple home cook dinner and wine and a movie with the hubs!
We will be celebrating early this year. My husband is a nurse and is scheduled that whole weekend to work. So I hope to make it a fun surprise to celebrate early :)
The only Valentine’s Day gift I’ve ever gotten were teddy bears, but they were nice and soft at least! Great to cuddle with.
My favorite gift was the first hand made card my oldest daughter gave me 21 years ago, when she was in kindergarten.
I love thoughtful gifts. It doesn’t have to cost much to impress me!
My favorite v-day gifts are cards from my hubby that let me know that he was thinking about me and that he still loves me after all these years!
My favorites were the cards and gifts that my kids made for me. .
My favorite valentines gift from my husband was the valentines day before he proposed. I told him I wanted something shiney and be wrapped a beautiful pair of earrings in tin foil haha. Was too funny!
Changing things up for v-day…. hoping to be inspired to do something new.
The best Valentine’s Day gift I ever received was when I was in high school. It was a year I did
not have anyone to share the holiday with. So my wonderful sister sent me a dozen roses with a message attached that read “Admiring you from afar.” I was so touched that she wanted me to be happy!
My favorite gift was my husband getting me a gift certificate to a spa last year. The other gift I loved was when I was taken to the beach on Valentine’s Day for a picnic when I was a teen but I had no idea where we were going because I was blindfolded the whole time. :)
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a heart-shaped pancake breakfast that my husband made for me
My favorite gift is the extra attention to loving each other, husband, children & family on valentine’s day! And yes, that is a gift!
Getting homemade gifts of art/ceramics from my girls.
my daughter was born on the 10th, and she was home with me by valentine’s day that year!
Flowers and kisses!
Chocolate!!
Honestly, I love it when I get some me-time on Valentine’s Day. As much as I love chocolate, some time reading a book in the bathtub without little kids banging on the door would just be heaven. :)
I got flowers for Valentines from my husband and 5 years ago I had my second daughter on the 16th. I think of her as my gift that year.
So unbelievably creative! Why wasn’t I born with a creative mind? Hahaha. I’m so jealous! I would love to win this for my husband and I. I would say the best gift I received on Valentines was my husband asking me to marry him 6 years ago and we have been married 5 years now. This is only the 2nd year we have been able to spend it together because he was always in Afghanistan so I’m SO grateful to have him home for holidays now!!
I spent last valentine’s in Seattle! It was so perfect to walk around the city & go out to eat with my love!
My favorite V-day gift was a giant teddy bear when I was a junior in high school. My boyfriend (now husband) knew that I had always wanted one delivered to me in my classroom so he did it! :)
Best Valentine’s gifts ever were the boxes for goodies I would get from my mom while in college… she would always send some yummy treats, a little cash, and cute Valentine undies.
I love it and need date night planned out because Baby # 3 will be just a couple weeks old on Valentine’s Day.
I found the perfect guy!
My favorite valentines day gift ever was finally spending my valentine’s day with a great guy, who is now the love of my life! Cheesy, but so true. :)
Adorable!
My favorite valentines gift is a heart felt letter. They mean a lot to me and there always priceless.
My favorite valentines gift would definitely be chocolate.
My son is a freshman at college so I hope to send him a special care package Valentine!
I believe that people should date a lot when they are younger to figure out what type of person they are most interested in. In college I dated several very nice guys and when valentines day came they all sent flowers and chocolate. My father could not believe all the flowers, but I am still partial to chocolate.
I love every Valentines Day as <3 are one of my favorite things. They are everywhere during Valentines Day. My favorite thing about Valentines Day is that my husband and I get the kids a pizza, put them to bed early with a book to read or listen to and we order take out from a nice restaurant and have a romantic dinner at home.
My boyfriend gets me maple candy instead of chocolate and I LOVE it!
My husband was in the Navy and arranged before he left to have flowers and card delivered before he left. I was soooo surprised and I cryed.
Stopping by to check out your blog! very cute!
The classic flowers and chocolate lol it’s so old school I love it!
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a jewelry box given to me by my boyfriend of 4 years. In that jewelry box was an engagement ring, and after I opened the box my boyfriend asked me to be his wife.
We were married three months later, and will celebrate our 38th anniversary this year.
Saying yes to his proposal is something I have never regretted. He has made me the person I am, I am a better person as a result of it.
My favorite valentines day gift was when DH made me dinner… he is NOT a cook. But he bought a frozen pizza which he cut to be a heart. Also had some heart cookies and champagne. It was sweet because you could see he put thought into it without spending a lot of money. Super cute.
My husband doesn’t get me any gifts, let alone valentines. My ultimate gift would be a cruise anywhere warm and safe.
Not sure what the hubby is going to get me or what we will do but I am just excited to be with him– its our first valentines day together being married!!! Love it!
My husband got me a pink laptop! :)
Thanks
My husband and I love Valentines day. He always gets me flowers and something cute. I love that we can have a day devoted to each others love! :)
My son was my favorite Valentine’s Day gift I could have ever received :)!
The valentines that made children made in school were always my favorite gifts!
I’m really looking forwad to this year … my husband got us concert tix and an overnight stay at a hotel, even arrange for his parents to watch the kids! woohoo! Kathy K
I just love spending time with my husband… hes in the navy so time is precious. I’m happy to say that this Valentines day we’ll get to spend it together :D He is graduating from his second part of school for nuclear mechanic (big deal! :D I’m very proud of him, and super excited that that’s how we are spending our day)
There is usually always something going on so we try to do a dinner the weekend before or after. Nothing too fancy, just a chance to get out.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a project my husband had my children make for me.
The best gift I got was the year my husband planned a romantic date night….in front of our fireplace. We had cupcakes from my favorite restaurant, watched a DVD of our honeymoon. Looked through old photo albums. Then he surprised me with a DVD he had made with our old pictures set to music!
Kind of corny, but… I just love getting roses every year. They spruce up the dining room table and the valentine’s day love lingers on for a week! I never like getting chocolates… I’m usually trying to lose the extra pounds from the holidays. LOL!
I love the homemade gifts from my kids.
Wow! Lots of comments! Do you actually get to read them all? I am a softie when it comes to flowers on Valentines day, but the look in my husband’s eyes beats any gift. :-)
Yes I actually get to read them all! Thanks for the comment Charity. ;)
My favorite Valentine’s gift is Godiva chocolates.
This Valentines Day my husband will be camping, so we’ll be celebrating early.
This is my very first time on your blog. Luckily I subscribe to A Little Tipsy and I was introduced to you from there. There are so many cute projects that I can’t wait to try. As soon as I find the time for them all!
I received a beautiful necklace that I will always cherish!
My best Valentines Day gift one year was roses and truffles. I have never had such a fancy gift any other year!
My favorite Valentines ever was my last before I moved in with my now husband. He lived in Michigan and I lived in Hilton Head, SC. I came up for a long weekend, he took me tubing (my first time in the snow!) And then gave me a locket inscribed with *my heart belongs to you*
We had known from the first time we met in person (we met playing world of warcraft online…) That we were a…. Thing. This was it for us…. It was just a matter of time. Getting back on that plane to go home without him was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do….
He and my angsty teenager are the only two things in my life I’ve ever been 100% absolutely sure of…
I went home, turned in my notice on my water front rental and hospital job (that’s love y’all! I left the ocean and year round spring and summer to move to the arctic circle!). April 1, I and my kidlet and my two cats were residents of Michigan!
Best. Valentine’s. Ever.
My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my hubs always surprises with the greatest gifts. My favorites are a Blue Topaz ring and Bracelet. I always cook him a special meal. We are not much for going out., due to his health problems. He has kidney cancer and it makes hard for dates out. But all that said, we both enjoy just staying home and being together. I love this basket idea. Would definitely like to be a winner. Your site is one of my favorites, it has really helped me be more organized. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I love the sentiment of this basket. It looks like a great time together!
I love spending Valentine’s Day alone with my husband with a great dinner in and exchanging cards and chocolates.
My best Valentines Day gift was a necklace with my mothers birthstone in it!
I love anything for Valentine’s Day — as long as the hubby remembers, I’m ok with it!
My favorite Valentine’s gift was my baby girl, she was due on Valentine’s day 2012 but she arrived a little early.
I would be SOOO excited to use the bath salts, rubber ducky and loofah! And we can use the gift card for new Valentine’s PJ’s to cuddle up in and watch the Vow. Thanks for doing this! How fun!
I love just spending the day (and any day) with my husband. That alone means more than anything he can buy me!
My best Valentine’s Day gift was an engagement ring…27 years ago.
I haven’t received anything for Valentine’s Day. In fact when I was engaged my trip to the emergency room with my fiancee was enough surprise for me last year! I think I’ll stick with a nice romantic night cuddling and yummy food! But anything to make the night more romantic would be amazing.
My son was born 2 days after Valentine’s. He was my little Valentine’s present.
We really haven’t done Valentine Day gifts but I love that we strive to spend that time together in a special way.
I love the bath crystals. Normally my husband and I don’t do anything special for Valentine’s day. Thanks for the chance to have a memorable evening with my husband.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a ring that my hubby got me a couple years ago. He picked it out all by himself and surprised me with it, which was the best part because he usually doesn’t pick out stuff by himself. He did a great job picking out a pretty ring! It really is special to me and I have worn it everyday since he gave it to me!
Hand-made gifts from my kids and sweets from my hubby.
One of my favorite Valentine’s Days was in college when all the girls in my small group spent the evening getting dressed up and going out to dinner together. We took lots of pictures of our group in their fancy clothes and had a fun evening even though we didn’t have official dates.
I like giving handmade items!
I love getting jewelry for valentine’s day. Or chocolate- chocolate’s good too. :)
We usually don’t do much for Valentine’s Day since we both of birthdays around the 14th, but my favorite Valentine’s Day was the year we picked out our wedding bands on Valentine’s Day!
This Valentines Day is my 25th Wedding Anniversary so we plan on going out to a nice restaurant to celebrate-without the kids.
Cool blog!
My hubby and have been together for 20 years. He doesn’t really ‘get’ valentines day. Every year I do all kinds of sweet things for him and the kids, but he’s really random. He’ll do nothing most years, flowers a couple times, out to dinner a couple times, cards on and off. So just doing SOMETHING is really special to me.
Love the basket!!!!
It would be amazing to get out to a nice dinner or activity with the husband! Just some alone time away from the kids :)
My favorite gift is flowers! :)
I visited because you were in the blog hop. However, big fan of your blog now and I will be back often!
Chocolate, sugar cookies in Valentine shapes or motifs, perfume, wine and books are my usual Valentine’s Day gifts. This year, I can have the perfume and books because I’m maintaining a diet until summer when the weight I’ve been carrying for over 10 years will be gone. So far, 18 pounds down.
I love sending the day with my husband and children, We usually buy a heart shape pizza for supper and watch a movie.
We plan on eating a candlelit dinner at home this year. :)
I think one of the best things to celebrate on Valentine’s Day is God’s love for us that He sent Jesus to show us this love :)
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a small box of chocolate my hubby gave me on our first date, which was 26 years ago on Valentines Day. We spent the day hiking, had a wonderful picnic. It was the best day and we’ve had so many more and many more to come. :)
Loved the vow. This year we are doing an Italian themed date, well, unless … ;)
Great basket! Thanks for the opportunity to win :)
One year when our first child was a baby, my husband bought me a MAC makeup brush that I had been pining for. It was such a surprise, and he said he bought it because it was a total luxury. It was, and still is!
My favorite Valentine Gift was a puppy my husband got for me 2 years ago :)
My favorite valentines day is when I came home to clues around the house. I had to follow the heart path and balloons to the first clue. This led me to my CD player where I had to press play to my favorite love songs. Then I got my next clue that led me to my closet where there was a new outfit and finally the third clue led me outside where the car was on and ready to take me to a fancy dinner. !
Just looking around for fun, easy stuff.
I love your basket so much! It is a perfect valentines day date night. I made was your “dirty diet coke” gift and printable. My friend LOVED it, and needless to say, I’ve been hooked to your blog since!
Dinner at a fancy seafood restaurant and diamond earrings.
My favorite Valentine’s gifts were the cards my children made when they were small. I still have them!
When we first started dating, my (very non-artsy) husband drew me a Valentine’s Day card with pictures of all of our dates. =}
I don’t really need to receive anything. I just want a night cuddled up watching a movie and eating some great take out.
I do enjoy “bling”
I love receiving a massage!
I love Valentine’s Day, since I’m a romantic at heart. Last year my hubby was battling cancer, so this year it’s time to CELEBRATE! We are hitting the town as only an older couple can. Dinner, a moonlit drive, and a cozy movie at home. : )
I’ve always loved your “I wheelie like you” valentines for kids. This may be the year I have my 4 year old do it! :)
My favorite gift I received for Valentines Day was The Princess Bride.
Best Valentine’s Day was when my boyfriend showed up at my door unexpectedly. He lived 1,500 miles away at the time and it was a total surprise.
I’m a flower girl. I love getting flowers
Jewelry has always been a favorite gift…thanks for the chance to win this awesome gift basket!
My son was born on V-day so that’s the best gift i’ve ever received! But I like receiving my favorite sweet treats as a v-day gift!
Romantic dinner any day, not just Valentines Day :)
I love that we celebrate all year long in unexpected ways of surprising each other instead of on a day we’re both expecting it.
i’d love my husband to just tell me what he wants for v-day, haha.
hmmm…trying to remember any valentine gifts…oh, my mom gave our family tickets to jerry seinfeld live one year!! very fun!!!
and i love 30 days for organizing!! thanks!!
I have had lots of great presents on Valentines Day but i really just love having a night to spend with my husband and this will be our first one married! I really like all the cute printables on your website.
I love making valentines with my kids every year!
These are all such GREAT ideas!
We got a Firebird’s giftcard for Christmas and we’re planning on using it for Valentine’s Day. I’m pretty excited :)
What a wonderful idea! We spend valentines day with our children and celebrate together. Love grows as a family!
My daughter was born two days before Valentines Day last year which was the best present I could ever ask for, for many years to come! <3
What a nice basket! I would love to win this. I love those strawberry heart oreos. Thank you for the giveaway!
My husband is really wonderful about writing me a letter telling me how much he loves me each Valentines. It is by far my favorite and I keep them to pull out when I need a little pick-me-up during the year.
My most memorable Valentine’s Day was when my husband and I were dating in high school. There was a school dance on Valentine’s Day we were planning to go to but I got mono the week of the dance so I couldn’t go and instead he bought me The Notebook and cooked me dinner and we just hung out at my parent’s house. Very sweet :)

My husband always buys me the most thoughtful cards. I sometimes hates the money he spends, but when I read them, they are so touching and I realize that they are the words he would like to say to me. So they are priceless!
Dozen roses
Love all the valentine ideas!
My fav. valentines gift was a series of my favorite books and a night in!
we don’t do a lot for Valentine’s, but my husband and I usually get each other specialized boxes of See’s with our favorite chocolates.
It use to be a card and maybe some flowers or candy, but nowadays its hugs and kisses from my grandchildren!
This year I’m making Star Wars Amigurumi for my boyfriend as well as Star Wars cookies!
I love Valentine’s Day and all the decorations and celebrating love.
I love the rootbeer float my boat basket idea!
My best gift was my gorgeous promise ring!
I love the idea of making loom bracelet as Valentine gifts. This will be the perfect gift for our church youth group.
My favorite valentine gift was going on a trip to Munich and Prague and getting engaged.
My favorite Valentine’s Day was the year I got engaged with a heart shaped diamond.
My favorite valentine’s gift is always chocolate!
My favorite Valentine was when my boyfriend got “crafty” and put all my gifts in separate mason jars. He even built me some goodies from old barn wood!
What a fabulous giveaway! Thank you so much! I think any gift from the heart is a great gift for Valentine’s Day.
You’re valentine’s day section post on creating bookmarks is tops! My hubby and I have started to read books aloud together and it’s been so much fun, your idea would make it that much better! Thanks.
My husband once surprised me with homemade dinner and he even baked a red velvet heart shaped cake for me.
Little notes around the house
My hubby and I, honestly customarily do something really simple for Valentines day because our wedding anniversary comes so quickly afterward. We have gotten in the habit of getting a heart shaped pizza every year and staying in to avoid the valentines day dinner rush. We actually just gave birth to our first child 2 weeks ago, and with all the lack of sleep and changes in our life Id like to do something a little different to keep things fun and interesting.
My favorite valentines gift would be anytime I get to have a little get away with my cute hubby.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was my engagement ring!
My favorite Valentines Day was when my husband and our best friends went to a Sarah McLachlan concert. Best Ever.
My favorite Valentine Day gift was a single red rose delivered by my boyfriend at work along with a note detailing our plans for the evening! I’m not telling what the note said!
I plan to share big news on valentines day!
My favorite gift is chocolate and flowers.
My favorite gift was a beautiful jewelry box!
One year when I was single, my mom gave me a box of chocolates with a beautiful valentine attached saying she felt like God wanted me to be His valentine. I’ll never forget that!
My favorite gift was a Saturday afternoon experience. Before my 6 year old was born I would go out for breakfast with my sisters on Saturday morning. Well this Saturday (Valentine Weekend) after our brunch I was dropped off at my house and immediately I was greeted by little post cards lining the walk, each had a poem type note that led to the next and the next and then another was taped to the door with instructions. When I opened the door there were rose petals leading to my private quarters door which was closed and taped to it was another poetic instruction. Well, I was directed to bathroom filled with bubbles and frangrance, flowers and longerie….and I can’t say more, except there was also candy and sparkling cider too! Nuff said. It was a love Valentine Afternoon and Nite!
one time my husband brought home dinner and flowers!
When we were first married my husband bought a romantic package and we had dinner, dancing, and a stay at the nearby Marriott! It was really romantic. In fact we met at a church valentines dance! But I’m not sure what we will be doing this year, things have certainly changed, three kids, my husband crazy career schedule, and no money… He has to work the Saturday after valentines so we can’t do anything to crazy or late and then our 6th anniversary will be on the 28th (it’s really on leap year buy we try to celebrate on the 28th and 1st). I have a feeling this v-day and anniversary will be really quiet and at home.
My favorite valentine’s gift is one that is from the heart, and not necessarily bought(although buying food so I don’t have to make it is always a good gift). I am not someone who needs jewelry or candy. Just plan some time to spend together, offer to brush my hair or give me a back rub, and give me quality time. My husband is great at this!
I would just love for my husband to be home, make dinner and enjoy a movie together!
With three children we usually don’t go out on Valentine’s Day. It’s too busy! We will do something simple at home for all of us:)
flowers and food always get me
I love spending time with my husband – no gift necessary!!
My favorite Valentine’s gift is anything homemade or just the gift of time.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was roses at work one year. They were beautiful and it was unexpected.
My favorite Vday gift was last year when my boyfriend had me pampered all day and in the evening we had dinner on a private yacht cruise. I was absolutely speechless but I enjoyed and appreciated every minute of it.
My plans for Valentine’s Day are:
Taking a bath with bath salts, rubber ducky and shower pouf… then cuddling up with the hubby watching The Vow while eating Lindt chocolates and Swedish fish while we write our vows to each other… just saying ;)
My favorite VDay was when we were stationed in Germany with the US Army and got to have dinner at an Italian restaurant in Italy!
My favorite gift is dinner and jewelry.
Love the bubble bath my husband drew for me complete with wine, wine glass and homemade chocolate covered strawberries!
Pink Dove soap is the best Valentine gift. Simple and sweet. :-)
My favorite Valentine’s date was when my husband brought me dinner in bed because I was pregnant and sick. He was so sweet!
My husband’s birthday is Valentine’s Day, so we do two weekends of celebrations.
I love that green basket as well! My best Valentine gift was a trip back to our first date, including dinner, dessert and flowers.
I have always loved Valentine’s Day so much, but this year is especially special because I have a boyfriend this year. :) We are going to make dinner together (including chocolate-covered strawberries), watch romantic movies, and cuddle on the couch. :)
I enjoy getting to spend time with my husband and CHOCOLATE!
Love the romantic cards my husband always writes to me; love eating a yummy dinner out.
Best gift has always been just simply time spent with loved ones.
I like to make red velvet desserts for Valentine’s Day.
My husband is a very romantic person so I don’t have to wait for Valentine’s day for some romance in my life. That being said, I still can’t wait to see what’s in store this Feb 14th lol!!
P.s. I have never heard of your blog until today, but you can bet I will be stopping by now that I do know. :-)
I just love Valentine’s Day!
My favorite gift was my first Valentines after I had moved away from home. Out of the blue, chocolate covered strawberries showed up at my door.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a card from my son on his first Valentine’s Day with his handprint :)
Valentines is the day after our anniversary. This year is our 11th, and it has been a long, hard road. There have been many times that either he or I have wanted to call it quits, but we always manage to make it through somehow. I’ve learned to take it one day at a time. I have a chronic illness, and because my husband is my primary caretaker, he is seriously burned out. I would love to whisk him away on a vacation, but will have to make do with turning my daughter’s old bedroom into his home office. For the last two years, his desk has been in our bedroom, but we both dislike that. I am going to surprise him with a clean, organized, home office where he can grab quiet time while studying or playing a game.
Too cute!
I would love to just relax at home with my boyfriend and have a nice dinner!!!
Steak and lobster dinner at home!
I love when I receive flowers…..I don’t usually get them enough, but it’s nice when I do.
My favorite gift was a simple drawing that I received when I was just dating my husband in high school. It was a pencil drawing of a rose. A rose that will never die. I still have the drawing. :)
My husband and I usually go out for dinner. Last year it was a fun charity dinner.
My favorite Valentine’s surprise was in college when, my then boyfriend, husband surprised me by flying out to visit me. :)
I’m hoping for a box of See’s Candy to share this year!
Thanks for doing the giveaway.
My fav. V-day Present was when my best friend, whom I call Wifey, put like 30 electronic candles all over my room and made me paper roses that was also scattered all over my room. I came back and the lights were off and the whole place looked like a scene out of a movie. She had flowers on the table, candles everywhere and chocolates on the table as well. It was one of those “girls know what girls like” type presents. =) Never had a boyfriend out do her yet!
I love cards from my kids and anything from the hubby.
Thanks for the giveaway!!
My favorite vday present is the ring my hubby bought me our first year. It was then stolen and pawned for drugs about 2 years ago! not fun! but it’s still my favorite because it was in the shape of a heart!
On our first valentines’ my man (now husband) asked my dad if he could marry me – best gift ever!
When my husband and I were dating he gave me two plush puppies hugging each other. And roses. <3 <3
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was two years ago when he came home early to cook our favorite dinner WITH me! Love, Love, Love!
I do love the basket!!! More, I love the idea of ordering out and cuddling with hubby to watch a romantic DVD and pigging out on candy and popcorn! Great idea!!!!
I am not big on Valentine’s Day, but my husband always goes all out. Flowers, candy, other presents. It’s one of his favorites!
The best Valentine I ever received was two years ago when I was student teaching in Kindergarten. I was engaged and when I walked into my classroom there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers on my desk from my fiance! I had never been sent flowers before in my life and it was so sweet and wonderful.
Thanks for the giveaway! Such a good movie!
Honestly, we have no idea what we would like to do for Valentine’s Day!! I would love to plan a fun getaway but with work and school I’m not sure what we will have time to do!
I get to spend my Valentine’s Day with the 3 sweet girls that I nanny for. I haven’t yet figured out what we’ll be doing, but I’m sure it will be TONS of fun!
I love this basket! My favorite Valentines gift was a couples massage from my hubby!
Hubby and I are FINALLY getting to see George Strait in concert on V-Day. Our first dance was to one of his songs, so we’re VERY excited his playing in our area that night!
I got my engagement ring. best gift ever!
My favorite valentine’s gift was being a newleywed for valentine’s day last year!
My man is not big on Valentine’s Day– but he has hinted this year, so I’m hoping for a ring! But whatever happens this year, my boyfriend and son will be the best valentine’s gift, period.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was an engagement ring! That’s right, 2 years ago my now husband proposed on Valentine’s day! He knew I wouldn’t expect him to actually propose on a holiday so that was the best way to surprise me. :)
I just hope I can get my husband to do ANYTHING this year.
My husband hired a group of barbershop quartet singers to sing to me at work!
I would love anything chocolate and a nice dinner with my husband!!!
I would love a nice peaceful dinner with just my husband!
I love your “no food” Valentines. I have to limit the sweets my son eats so I always send fun goodies like those to all his class parties.
The “You Float My Boat” gift basket is darling. Great idea for a family gift.
I haven’t had many valentines with my man but my favorite gift was a stuffed animal (so cheesy but I’m a huge stuffed animal person!) that my dog ended up destroying ten minutes later! We laughed so hard about it, it’s a sweet memory.
I love when my husband makes me an amazing dinner for Valentine’s Day!
Fav valentines gift was the scavenger hunt my hubby planned for me :)
We have never really celebrated Valentine’s Day. This basket would be a fun jump start.
I love to get flowers.
My husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings our second Valentine’s day
Before we were married, my husband wrote me the longest sweetest poem on Valentine’s Day. Every year I get it out and read it!
I love valentine’s cookies! One of the best gifts ever was a morning to sleep in and some cookies for breakfast!
This basket is so cute! My favorite Valentines Day gift would probably be last years surprise wine and cheese tasting in our living room! My husband did such a great job!
My husband made me a beautiful CD of “our music” and a great dinner to enjoy while we listened to the music. An act of love for sure!
i love v-day, too!
My favorite Valentines gift was from my boyfriend (now husband) on our first Valentines Day together. We went to different colleges and it was during the middle of the week so we decided to wait and celebrate the following weekend. After classes I was home hanging out with my roommates when he appeared at our door to take me out! He brought a small scrapbook of our first year together. He set the bar really high that first year! We’ve been together almost 10 years now!
I am not sure what I am doing yet this Valentine’s Day
My favorite gift was a box of chocolates from my husband, and a smaller box from my 3 year-old. He was so proud that he got to give me a big present just like his daddy!
My first boyfriend gave me a little blue heart necklace, I loved it so much.
Homemade Valentine’s from my daughters.
Thank you so much for the chance to win!
To be honest, the hubby and I don’t celebrate V-Day, since our wedding anniversary is just days from “day of love”. So, we just celebrate our very own Valentine’s Day. ;)
Valentines is my bday so I gets gifts every year. But last year I got a heart charm for my bracelet and I love it!
Love Valentines!!! Your basket is so cute and I love the Vow printables!!! You are very creative! We always celebrate with our kiddos with a gorgeous seafood dinner. My girls look forward to it all year. We eat on our china and have sparkling cider. The table is lit with candles. It is a fun night! Husband and I usually just hang out after the kids are all tucked in.
I just love to be with my husband…no special gift required!
I would love to get an opportunity to spend with my loverface using this basket! I hope you have a lovely valentines day!!
Ashley
I don’t need any over the top gift for valentine’s day. I just like an “I love you” and some time with my husband.
Best gift ever was my daughter CHarlie! Born right after V-Day!!
A surprise candle lit dinner!
we have little boys so I usually make a yummy valentine’s dinner, decorate the house, and have a movie date with the hubs after they go to bed. its simple but its perfect, I have the best three valentines a girl could ask for!
My husband and I always go out to dinner to celebrate. This year I hope to surprise him with a new wedding band he was wanting!
Our last valentine date was a night in…with a quiet dinner and a romantic movie.(Snuggle time :0) We usually just go on a date for Valentines and each of us get a new outfit. Don’t spend alot of money..I love your bag and love the Valentines basket you put together.. We all need to VOW to treat other better, and enjoy more quality time together..
Thanks
my iPad a few years ago – I was so surprised as we usually don’t exchange gifts – so thoughtful of him as he knew I really wanted one!
The earrings and necklace my husband gave me the V-day right after we got engaged.
I love anything out of the ordinary! Flowers, date night, etc!!
I received a handwritten poem from my husband about our love and how it has made him a better man. I bawled like a baby!
My hubby and I don’t usually get to do much for valentines day because we have little ones. I’d love to go on a romantic dinner date with him, and curl up to a movie afterwards!
Would love to receive some beautiful flowers!
My husband gave me a beautiful necklace that matched my engagement ring on year.
my favorite Valentines Day gift is just to spend quality alone time with my boyfriend. Getting to snuggle in bed all day is my perfect Valentines Day!
My favorite valentine gifts are jewelry…a nice treat!
Our anniversary is very close to Valentines Day so we usualy combine them with a dinner out. My husband is not very romantic but we have been married for 51 years this year!
My best Valentine’s Day was with my hubby watching scary movies at home.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was from the annual card from my Grandpa each year! Now my children get the cards from their Great-Grandpa and it just makes my holiday!!!
Winning!!!
We both love chocolate and Valentine’s Day is our excuse to it lots of it. I would love to try some chocolate covered strawberries. A simple dinner and movie is my favorite date night. Love the giveaway!
A couple of years ago my husband bought a bottle with a cork, filled it about half way with small sea shells and then wrote a note on to a piece of canvas and tucked it into the bottle. I love that note, the bottle everything, and it still is displayed in our home.
It was just being with my husband on our first Valentine’s Day when we were dating. We did not give each other anything.
As long as I get to spend quality time with my Husband without the kids, that is all I care about for Valentines!
A romantic dinner w/ my husband! I love everything about V-day! So romantic!!
I want to try the reclaimed wood sign…
Love chocolate!
Anything chocolate makes me happy for Valentine’s Day!
I worked at a flower shop while I went to college, do for 4 years I dealt with the Valentine’s Day rush! I don’t know how many thousands of red roses I packaged up for lucky ladies to receive. So when I met my husband, I told him absolutely no red roses or chocolates. After 5 years we got married, our first Valentine’s Day he got me red roses and chocolates :)
My favorite valentine gift is anything my husband remembers to give me.
We got engaged around Valentine’s Day. So I’d say that was my favorite :)
One year when I thought we weren’t really doing anything for Valentine’s Day, my husband surprised me with flowers! They were even in our wedding colors :) So sweet and thoughtful!
My favorite gift was a small diamond necklace. My husband had hidden it in the glove box of our car. On the way to our valentines movie he pretended there was something wrong with the car and asked me to out the owners manual. I found the necklace instead. So cute!!
My hubby can never go wrong with chocolate!
I Love the heart locket necklace my hubby got for me last year.
I would love to give the chocolate raspberry parfait a try, might try to make it sometime soon
Just being together on V-day is great!
I love to get flowers for Valentine’s Day!
I love either going out to dinner with my husband or having a romantic dinner at home, depending on the weather.
Just some good old fashioned peaceful alone quiet time together
So far, my favorite Valentine’s Day was last year. My kids made handmade cards at school and they were so precious. Good Memories.
One of my favorite Valentine’s was spent curled up on the sofa with my hubby, watching a movie and sharing a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. It was snowing outside, we had a fire going and it was very cozy and peaceful.
my favorite Valentine’s Days are the ones when we have dinner at home and my husband cooks! steaks and chocolate mousse and prosecco in our wedding toasting glasses
This Valentine’s Day I plan to send him snapshot picture clues as to what i’m going to wear when he gets home in the evening! I’m also working on a dinner menu and scratch-off coupons.
I cannot wait to just relax. We never go to a big fancy dinner since everything is always taken. So we just go to Panera and have soup and sandwiches.
My favorite Valentines gifts are the cards my kids always make for me.
My husband does not ‘go’ for Valentines Day so I don’t have a fav gift, but maybe with this awesome giveaway, we can change his mind. :) A girl can dream, can’t she?
I am going to Vegas on Valentine’s Day this year, and I am so excited!!!
My favorite part of valentines each year is the card my husband gets and he writes a sweet note inside! No plans for valentines yet. Hoping to be able to get out for dinner and a movie!
Love spending Valentine’s Day as a family! My kids are 14 and 12 now, so I know someday soon they’re not going to want to spend the evening together, so I’m enjoying it while I can!!!
A pink rose.. before we were even dating.. He had written me a note saying “I’m not sure where we will end up.. but ever girl deserves to get flowers on Valentine’s day.” So sweet!
A cozy blanket covered with red hearts to keep me warm on chilly night
Last year I made my husband a 12 month gift, every month he opened an envelope and there was a date idea in it. He was always so excited to open the new envelope.
My favorite gift was a handmade card from my husband.
I love to get chocolate for Valentine’s Day…with hazelnuts of course!!
After 20 years Valentines day has become another day but this basket would sure liven it up again!
Our plans this Valentine’s Day this year are HOPEFULLY closing on our house! So I want something simple this year. Sushi, movie on the couch (of our hopefully new house), and holding hands with my man. Oh and Nana watching the baby! :)
Super excited for Valentine’s Day this year! We don’t usually do much for Valentine’s anymore (with 3 kids). This gift basket would be an awesome treat to have for a Date NIght even after the kids go to bed.
I love the friendship bracelet valentine. Adorbs!
My favorite gift was 18 years ago. My husband gave me a wooden heart shaped puzzle box filled with tiny heart candies and a beautiful solitaire diamond engagement ring. Although he proposed on the 13th but it was the best V-day ever!!
My favorite Valentine’s gift is a stuffed puppy my husband gave me :) I still sleep with it every night!
I love Valentine’s Day! I plan to make a nice dinner for my husband.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a beautiful necklace that my husband bought me on our first Valentine’s Day. He was so nervous that I would not like it… (honestly… it’s not really my taste), but I love him for working so hard to get it and worrying so much about whether I would like it. So sweet!
A surprise weekend trip to Amish Country for Valentines day(my birthday)!!
I love cards! To me a card means: I have been thinking of you! I cherish cards and keep some of them. Sometimes I go through them and they make me happy again!! :)
My fav gift was probably a beach trip in a romantic bed and breakfast
I visit because I love all the ideas that I can do with my own family ~ thanks!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift is always a date with my best friend/husband!
I love fresh donuts. My husband goes out early in the morning before he leaves for work and buys them for me every Valentine’s Day and they are waiting for me on the breakfast bar when I get up. :)
My favorite valentine’s gift was a week of no house cleaning or laundry. Rest and relaxation for a week!
I love doing Valentine’s Day for my kids! I get them each some sort of candy and write them a love letter, telling them specifically what I love about them. I also decorate the house, and try to do a red, pink and white themed meal. :)
Funniest gift ever- a vacuum for my 1st Valentine’s Day with my hubby.
My favorite Valentine’s Day was when my husband and I were first dating. He dressed up in a suit, cooked me a lovely dinner, presented me with a dozen pink roses, and took me to the movies. We were so dressed up, that people actually laughed at us! We’re the ones laughing now…just celebrated 9 years of marriage!
I love to get special handwritten notes from my husband for Valentines Day. They mean the most!
The best Valentine I ever got was a blind date with my now husband.
I am due with our third baby in three weeks. Having Valentine’s Day already planned would be amazing!
My favorite gift was the teddy bear (dog maybe?) that he got me last year. It was small, but it’s somethign I have to snuggle when he’s not there. Food/Dinner/Candy don’t last very long. this will.
I love Thirty Days! So many great ideas here. Thank you. And thank you for the chance to win a fun giveaway. My favorite Valentine’s Day was a special dinner out at a tiny restaurant that only served 6 couples that night. Lots of courses, delicious food, awesome night with my hubby.
Best Valentines was when my husband surprised me at work with flowers, my favorite cupcakes and the sweetest card ever!!!!
I love flowers!
Hi Mique! Just wanted to say hi! For valentines day, I just enjoy time with Jim…just the two of us. It doesn’t matter what we do. xoxo
I literally have no plans for this Valentine’s day with my boyfriend. My birthday is three days before so that’s usually my focus when it comes to plans, and he does the same. It’ll be fun to have our own little date night basket!
A night away from home! Staying in a hotel, even if just an hour away from home, is the best mini vacation!
I love V Day! It’s different every year. Sometimes we do dinner at home with the kids, sometimes Joey gets me roses. It’s fun to see what happens. I don’t have big expectations so when he goes all out it’s a nice surprise :)
The best valentines was the first year my husband and I were married. He gave me a beautiful necklace and took me on a surprise dinner and movie date!
I want to make the Strawberry Heart Oreos, yummy!!!
This basket looks wonderful. I love learning new ways to spice things up a bit and to bring me and my hubby closer.
My favorite gift was a heart necklace from my husband. Mostly we just go out to eat for valentines and spend time together instead of giving gifts. :)
My favorite any time gift is chocolate!
Last year was quite memorable! I spent the night at Urgent Care with my 3 year old! He had a horrible earache. Fingers crossed that this year will be better. :D
truffles. yummo
The best V-Day gift I’ve ever received was a diamond & ruby necklace.
No specific Valentines Day but when when my husband plans a date from start to finish and even get a sitter for the kids. That’s my favorite. I don’t have to do any planning :)
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a diamond engagement ring.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a plaque my daughter’s had made for me in 2007, it has extreme sentimental value to me and I love it! This Valentine’s Day I am going to make my husband dessert from your website, the chocolate and raspberry parfait, his 2 favorite foods. I also want to make the reclaimed wood Valentine’s Day sign you have posted, I will have to make 3, one for me and one for each of my girls. Thank you for both posts, you made my life a little bit easier.
I have no Valentine’s day plans for this year yet.
our first valentine’s my sweet husband made a shutterfly book of our favorite memories for me…it is my most treasured gift! i love it!
One year I got supply’s and had everyone make a Valentine’s day box (YES just like when in elementary school) We all decorated our own box and I had everyone contribute. I had cut out a bunch of different colored hearts for everyone to write nice messages and notes on. Valentine’s Night we sat around and got open them up and see at all as inside. (the kids are older and had our first grandchild and all of us were living together, blendinga new family)
I love Valentines Day! All I need are some chocolate covered strawberries and Casablanca and I’m a happy girl.
My husband always gets me some kind of Hello Kitty gift for Valentine’s Day. I have quite a collection of Hello Kitty stuff.
Lisa K.
We are planning a romantic evening at home.
My favorite gift was the diamond ear rings my husband purchased our 1st valentine’s as a married couple.
My favorite gift from V-day was our love story he wrote for me. This was one month before we got married. The second was Kate & Leopold (themovie). He gave that to me on our first V-day as a married couple.
My favorite Valentines memory was our first one! My boyfriend who is now my husband fixed a candlelit dinner with all my favorites. He had cut out red hearts and wrote reasons he loved me on them. I still have the hearts!!
I love just being able to sit home and relax with my family on valentines day!!
I always look forward to my husband sending me flowers. But last year my teenage daughter gave me dozens of hearts she cut out & wrote the reasons why she loves me on every one. So sweet!!
The best gift was a package from my boyfriend, now husband when he was in another country.
a rock painted like a lady bug from my step daughter. I still have it to this day and she is 27.
i usually get some very pretty flowers and a nice card from my hubby. Nothing crazy, but its sweet! We could use something to spice it up this year.
I love getting flowers!
Our 12th Annie is in Feb. We love getting away without the kids. My guilty pleasure is also Channing & chocolate! Cute basket!!!
When my husband and I first started dating we went to the Olive Garden for Valentine’s Day and he gave me an adorable little bear that had a heart outfit on with his little head peeking out and on the heart it says, “Peek-a-boo, I Love You”…it was my first Valentine’s Day with him and my first Valentine’s Day gift from him and every year I always think of it!
My husband and I like to do a 14 day countdown to Valentine’s day with homemade cards, small candies, etc. This would be a fun surprise to make this year extra special!
We usually don’t do much for valentines day but love to make a fun dinner and dessert to enjoy with our kids
I would love to make the classroom valentines with the little vehicles. The how I roll ones are interesting it’s so hard to find good valentine ideas specific to young boys! ty
I am looking forward to an evening alone with my hubby.
Sees chocolates would be the best.
My favorite gift form my hub was a photo slide show set to our song, the one we did our first dance to. Made me cry.
My favorite Valentines gift of all time. . . time with my beloved.
LOVE this giveaway! We normally don’t spend much on Valentine’s day because it simply isn’t in our budget. This would be a wonderful surprise!
Hand made card from my Husband
My favorite valentines gift was my engagement ring 7 years ago!!
My husband and I have been married 13 years. We usually have a special dinner together for Valentine’s Day we aren’t much for buying big gifts. We would love to have the movie you are giving away in your basket. It holds a special place in my heart because when we watched it when it first came out both of us cried. At the end my husband looked me and said “I wish I could meet you all over again, so we could experience all the magic one more time” I fell even more in love with him that moment!
My most memorable gift was a care bear with a heart diamond necklace around its neck, from my husband while we were still dating
The best gift was going for massages.
So excited! This looks great and I’ve never seen The Vow!
My husband and I once recreated our first date. It was a really fun, sweet night.
It turns out I am allergic to my wedding ring, I would love one I could wear…how cute would that be while renewing our vows…
I’d love to receive a spa day as a gift! I love to relax!
My favorite V-day gift, ever, was my engagement.
Oh hello! You had me at mint basket! The gift that stands out to me is getting my very first dainty diamond ring from a boy… {pre-engagement} He did go on to be my bffhubby and I got the “BiG” diamond! I will never forget the moment and that ring is still a pretty heirloom now for my daughter. :) Fun Giveaway! My bffhubby & I would enjoy this!
My husband actually danced with me at a dinner club a few years ago (first time ever!). This year I have to work Valentines day and evening. Guess a special breakfast will have to do.
Mique, I happen to love Valentines Day too! It’s my favorite holiday. Love is in the air and spring ain’t too far away! I’ve been married to my sweetie for 30 years and we still feel like newlyweds. I love your basket!
I would love to receive a gift certificate for a pedicure.
Our tradition for Valentine’s Day is that I make molten lava chocolate cakes.
A Tahitian Pearl necklace. My boyfriend (now husband) lived in Tahiti for a couple of years and picked one out for his “future wife.”
My Favorite Valentines day gift was a beautiful white gold, topaz and diamond necklace.
My hubs made sure I received a heart shaped ring for our first Valentine’s Day.
My very first Valentines gift from my husband (the year we got engaged) was a beautiful star sapphire necklace. It will always be special simply because it was my first valentines gift from him.
My husband made me a scrapbook one Valentine’s Day. It has forever been one of my all time favorite gifts!
Anything at all from my husband is wonderful! We’ve been married for 24 years and I love anything he gives me.
I got a massage gift certificate for Valentine’s Day last year and I loved it!
I can’t really remember that I’ve had an amazing V-day gift…Lol But when I was young and lived at home, my parents would always get my siblings and I a small gift, usually just candy and a card-but I thought it was cute!
I actually love Valentines Day more now that I have my two girls. It’s so fun decorating and finding special goodies for them. My favorite thing to do is write a message for them on a heart and put on their door so when they wake up every day (feb 1-14) they get a message from me. It’s such a small thing (pinterest idea of course!) but totally makes their day :-}
My favorite are heartfelt homemade gifts. I love this post and giveaway!
A great date night!
My favorite Valentines gift ever was a trip to Disneyland a couple of years ago!
My first date with my husband was my best Valentine’s gift.
I plan to spend Valentines Day with my son and drive 6 hours to surprise my fiancé that night!! I’m soooo excited and can’t wait to see his face when I surprise him with dinner and gifts and the biggest hug and kisses ever : )
Chocolate covered strawberries, wine & crafts with my boys!
My husband took me on a scavenger hunt one year, taking me to a lot of significant spots for us. That was my favorite!
This Valentine’s Day will be a special one as it is the first one I get to celebrate being married! :)

best valentine’s day gift is when someone wrote “i love you” with my favorite kind of chocolates and since i was running late from work took a picture and texted it to me so that i knew what was waiting for me at home :) it was simple but meant so much more than anything else i’ve ever gotten before
My valentine plans are to have a mini party with my daycare kids then have a pint of ben and jerrys (a tradition a group of us started in college) and a sappy movie on the couch with my dog :)
A poem from my son.
I am so traditional – I love flowers and chocolates. :) My husband is great at doing those!
I’ve never received a Valentine’s Day gift, and I’ve been married nearly 15 years!
I just love that it’s a guaranteed date night!
an ankle bracelet i got from my husband.
Mique, I visit 30 Days because I think YOU are a class act! I love your focus on Kindness and how things just feel real around here :) And I’m not saying that simply because of your giveaway here… it just gives me the prompt to let you know is all :)
I have NO idea what my V-day plans are! I am going to be sure that it is romantic though!
My favorite gift was flowers–it’s all I’ve ever received!
This year I’m hoping for a nice date night with my husband minus our 2 little ones. :)
My son was in the Neonatal intensive care unit last year on valentine a day. He was born 2 months early and by God’s grace he survived! The nurses in the NICU put his hand and foot print a on two baseballs for valentines day. Loved this!!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was getting married. (A few days after the 14th.) ;)
I LOVED the move The Vow! My husband took me to see it also on Valentine’s Day after we ate at my FAV restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory!
My favorite part of Valentine’s Day is the flowers. I love getting red roses. My husband and I have had to work or had class every single Valentine’s day we have been together, so we have yet to truly celebrate on the day. However, it seems to work for us. We go out within the week, and then there is no one else there. And then he gets me the markdown flowers. (It’s the thought that matters to me.) And I would rather the smaller price tag. And we just use it as a day to tell each other we love one another and reasons why. Something that we try to do outside of Valentine’s day as well.
I don’t often get a gift for Valentines, but My hubby did give me a sapphire and diamond ring once…my birthstone is sapphire. I wear it every day. Happy Valentines Day from Oklahoma, USA. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Just being home with my husband!
Valentine’s Day is one of those fun holidays to find cute things to make with or for my family!
We have no plans this year so hopefully I will win or figure something out”
My favorite gifts are mints and flowers!
I love the handmade Valentine’s that my kids make me!
My favorite gift for Valentine’s Day is time together! He often has to work on Valentine’s Day, so when he has off, it’s like a rare treat.
I don’t know what our plans are this year, we have four kids, so we will probably have a family date out, and maybe an adult only date after bedtime.
I would love to get some flowers. It has been awhile. Honestly though, I love giving gifts to my cute family more than I like getting, so I can’t wait to give them each something fun on Valentine’s Day. I agree with you it is one of my favorite holidays too!
This valentines day my husband and I will be celebrating 10 years together. I had really wanted to go to Europe (we didn’t really go on a honeymoon) but sadly we just can’t afford it. So instead we are going the cheap and fun route by using hotel points to stay in a nice hotel in downtown Boston and seeing our favorite comedian Mike Birbiglia. Can’t wait! Thanks for the giveaway.
I am looking forward to the candies, loofah, bath crystals and mint basket! I DO LOVE THE BASKET!
Favorite V-day gift was diamond earrings when my hubby and I were first married! No plans this year as of yet.
I love a splurge dinner in the city!! Or just some QUALITY time and conversation
A copy of Green Eggs and Ham from my now hubby.
My favorite Valentines Day gift has always been a night out with my husband.
The heart oreos would be a great gift to receive… the way to my heart is definitely my stomach!
Great website! Thanks for fun giveaways!
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a night gown I was given the first Valentine’s Day after my son was born. My husband, of course, picked it out, but gave it to me from our son. Nineteen years later I still wear it. :)
Every year my dad gave my sister and I a single pink rose for Valentines day despite it being his birthday! He’s in Heaven now but I will never forget this tradition and can’t wait to one day do the same for my kids!
Those Lindor Chocolates are at the top of my list. I also like to receive a good perfume, none of that cheap stuff. Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Valentines Day!
My favorite gift was the year my then boyfriend (now hubs) bought me a McCoy Smiley Face Cookie Jar off of eBay and took it to the florist to have a tulip (my fav) arrangement made and delivered to my office. :)
My favorite gift was my husband, he was born on Valentine’s day, so he is the best gift. He has also given me a beautiful heart pear necklace for the big day, it is beautiful and I will treasure it as it was on our first valentine’s day together!
I would love some essential oils! Sorry I couldn’t find where to comment…had to use ‘reply’ to post a comment.
We usually do dinner out and exchange cards.
My favorite v-day gift is just spending time with my spouse.
We never do much for valentines day but this year I’m hoping we can get out to eat and see a movie. If all else I’ll accept him doing dishes and a cheap box of chocolates. :)
I love valentines day! My first valentines day with my husband was last year when we made a fancy dinner and enjoyed a night just the two of us!
Love Valentines day It’s for all ages I love to give to my grandkids to show them I love them!
The best thing my husband has given me for Valentines Day, besides the many gorgeous flowers, and elegant dinners, was his undivided attention. He works a lot, and long hours, plus with 3 kids there’s not much time for talk. So, to go out for a meal, and just reconnect is perfect. Plus he watches whatever chick flick I want with me! :)
Letters and cards from my husband. They are fantastic!
Love your blog!
A Love Letter
Never gotten anything for valentines day other than from my son…this is the first valentines day with my boyfriend and I’m hoping it will be spectacular!
My engagement ring in 2009! :)
I’m really excited about this Valentine’s Day, my husband and I are celebrating our first one as a married couple!
I’ve never gotten a Valentine’s Day gift.
My favorite gift was when my missionary boyfriend (now husband) came home from his mission on valentines day. Best day ever!
Chocolates! Guys don’t have great imagination sometimes.
My hubby is not big on V-day so we really dont do gifts.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was from my boyfriend at the time (now husband!) who got me tickets to see my favorite group, Lady Antebellum. It was a blast!
My best Valentine, ever, was the first date with my husband in 1980. We’ve been married since March 1980 (yep, that was fast); but look at us, still in love 34 years later. MrsNat in TX
Best gift for Valentine’s day, dinner out, not Mc D’s. :-)
my husband proposed to me 2 days before valentines day 4 years ago. he then decorated my bedroom the night before valentines, so i saw it at midnight when i got home. best valentines gift yet!
One year my hubby made a tiny photo album with all of my daughters photos in it after he heard me mention that I should get some photos to keep in my purse. It took him a long time to make it and I thought that was sweet.
My favorite gift would be a night away from the kids.
My favorite gift was a tulip bulb that my granddaughter gave me because it comes back every year. I love the ” float my boat” gift idea, thanks.
What a great giveaway idea! I love all of the things you have included in this basket!
Hmmm… I don’t remember the last Valentine’s gift I got from the hubs. We sorta cut out gifts when the economy went south.
My favourite gift was when my husband wrote notes around the house for me to find.
I always love flowers, but especially love plants…I still have something growing from Valentine’s day years ago!
My best Valentine’s present was when I received a dozen roses from my husband. He was deployed out at sea, so I totally wasn’t expecting anything. I was so surprised, I cried!
I love receiving flowers for Valentine’s Day! Your basket looks awesome, fingers crossed!
a very nice card and note inside. it was very sweet.
This year, House of Cards is being released on Valentines day – we may have to put off our romantic celebration!!
My favorite Vday gift was a pair of diamond stud earings! That was our first valentine’s day as a married couple. The gifts have since declined in $$$!
My favorite Valentine’s gift is actually one I gave myself 11 years ago: a special edition yellow and pink Valentine’s Day Eeyore stuffed animal! I love him!
that basket is too cute! somehow I missed it at our Target
This year we will be joining a school trip out to the mountains of Idaho for a fun night of ice skating, sledding and a dinner!
My favorite gift is the annual funny card that my husband gets all of our boys to sign and the pb cups that go with it. :)
We don’t normally do a lot on V day, he usually buys me flowers and we spend the evening with the kiddos.
all gifts are good.
Last year, my husband totally surprised me with a handmade nail polish rack that he painted purple! I totally love it! I have a bit of a nail polish obsession (especially Julep) and it already filled! :)
The best valentines gift I got was roses.
I’d really love to get flowers at work and then a treat at a spa!
Thanks for putting together and giving away this fun basket of goodies!
I’d love to recieve a night off from the kids, some flowers and a nice dinner! My favorite gift I’ve recieved for Valentine’s Day was probably when I got a beautiful potted orchid.
We have 5 children so I usually celebrate for all of us at home. Since it would be very expensive for us to go out and a nice dinner, I plan and cook an amazing dinner with hearts and candles and the kids love it. It is also a surprise they never know how the table will look or what they will eat.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a thoughtful card from my boyfriend. It showed how much he cared.
I love movie nights with dinner with JUST my hubby!
My favorite was a romantic dinner with just the two of us…after having kids. We really reconnected and had a wonderful time!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was… hmm, I don’t know! :) My first ever gift from a boyfriend was when I was 16. He bought me a ring that had a red heart. I loved it. Until it turned my finger green. And my boyfriend broke up with me. On April Fool’s Day, no less. Valentine’s Day 2010.. I found out I was pregnant with my first son (2nd child). That would have to be on the top of the list. :) I don’t know what I would like.. but just for my husband to put effort into it.
Best valentines gifthas to be some furry handcuffs. They were a joke from a friend in high school but still make me giggle every time i think about them :)
When my husband and I were dating, he gave me tickets to rascal flatts! Best to date for sure. ;) love your blog! Love your family. ;)
On our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple my cute husband woke up early and drove all around the city getting me my favorite things. The items were small and mostly silly, but the thought and effort behind it was adorable and thinking about it still makes me smile!
I’m not sure what we’ll be doing this year for Valentine’s. We’re moving the day after, but I’m hoping to get something romantic put together for us. this would help! :)
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was when I got a 2 pound box of Godiva chocolate. =P
from my hubby before we were married…he has yet to do that again =(
The Vow is one if my favorites! And i love those vow printables. Such a good idea.
best present was a photo book from hubby – very thoughtful!
Fav V-Day was last year… first year married :) we went to a fancy place.. i got the traditional flowers and choc and diamond heart necklace… lol I am sure they won’t be all as “traditional” as that one! But it was a wonderful evening..
Great site- a romantic meal would be great!!
I would like just a night out with my husband without kids!
I card with words from the heart
To frame some wedding photos for the hubbie – we just got married last Sept!
I love flowers!!!
My favorite Valentine’s Gift is the first one my husband ever gave me. He gave me a dozen long stem red roses but he placed them all around town at special locations (my dresser in the morning, front seat of my car, my desk at my office) and with each rose he made a CD with a love song about that part of my day! It was so sweet!
well it has been a very long time since i got a v day gift i guess a red rose is the last one i remember getting, my husband does not buy me any gifts, i wish he did though it would be really nice, can always hope though i guess, thank you very much for the chance to win this nice basket, i appreciate the chance
Dinner out by ourselves!
My favorite present was a book on how to write a Novel from my boyfriend :) I want to write more then anything, and it meant so much to me that he supports me in that.
My favorite gift for Valentine’s day would have to be a surprise dinner that my husband, then finance, put together for me. My plans for Valentine’s this year? Anything where we can enjoy time together without the kids!
Never really done anything super special. Would love this!!
My favorite Valentine’s memory would have to be the tradition of my mom giving me a box of conversation hearts every year – and she still does it!
Flowers! I love a fresh flowers, oh and a dinner that I don’t have to cook!
After 50 yrs of marriage my dear husband buys me flowers, usually roses and we go out for a nice dinner!
Thanks for this sweet Valentine give-away!
My Favorite Valentines gift was a homemade video of photos. It was the first year my son was born and looking back over the year in photos with Jack Johnson playing in the background was enough for me to know how much I am loved by my whole family.
We’ve never celebrated Vday before, but I feel like we need to make it special this year – no reason in particular.
My favorite gift though it was pretty cheesy was a bouquet of artificial roses, because he said he wanted them to last forever like his love for me.
My favorite gifts are the gifts my kids pick out for me :). Love the surprises!
I love the little vow sheet you made to fill out. I think that is really special! I love getting flowers and chocolate. I am a simple girl! Just knowing that my man loves me is good enough!
I would like to make the pencil toppers to hand out to my kid’s classes. I always like to receive jewelry or candy.
For Valentine’s Day I would love to get a weekend at a B&B
I love, love, love Valentine’s candy!!!
Last Valentines Day, I received a set of Spiderman cards (yes, the kids kind) with bubbles. I am the biggest kid and this was perfect for me. Add the chocolate and dinner and it was beyond perfect for the simple couple that we are.
I am super excited to surprise my husband with a homemade, enormously oversized Kit Kat bar!
Just stayin’ home with my hubby.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was last year when my boyfriend got my dog a present!
I plan to have a quiet day with my husband with no electronics and just a moment of peace
I don’t really care what we do for valentine’s day as long as it includes snuggles.
My fave gift was from a looooong time ago. My mom was out of town, I was staying with my grandparents, and my mom left a fun lil basket of goodies for me with an awesome lil heart pillow.
I would have to say roses!
My fiance’ at the time gave me a heart shaped Amethyst and diamond ring.
My favorite valentines day was 2/14/93…our wedding day :)
We made my daughter :)
i once received a green paper mache dinosaur for valentine’s day! interesting… lol!
a single rose
My husband is in his last semester of school so we may postpone our valentine’s day celebration until summer, when he is less stressed out!
love love love flowers, any type!
My youngest daughter was born on Feb. 15, and I started labor on the 14th. I would have to say she is my favorite Valentine’s gift.
When we first got married, my husband (the non pet lover) got me a tiny kitten!
My husband and I are in medical school with two young kids and very poor right now, so we don’t really do lots of gifts for any holiday, including Valentine’s day. But we still always try to make it special with homemade gifts or thoughtful gestures!
Stayed up all night talking when we first started dating.
I’ll be on stage this year for the opening night of a show I’m in so I can’t hope for much, except maybe some roses!!
My favorite gift was my iPhone! I got it 3 years ago(I’ve since upgraded) and I love it! I’d be lost without it.
Best ever Valentine’s gift was a pair of beautiful earrings from my husband from when he was away on a trip…they were perfect.
Best Valentine Day, my husband was released from the hospital in time for us to spend our first one together.
Chocolates and roses are my favorite. We don’t usually do much for valentine’s day. This would be nice to surprise my hubby with.
My husband always gives the best presents….one year when i was pregnant with our child he gave me a beautiful necklace of a mother and baby. It is a cherished piece of jewelry for me
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a really cute biker bulldog plush I got when I was younger. I still have it!
We traditionally don’t do big gifts for V-day, we will go to dinner, or stay in and watch a movie/have dinner/relax. For us these days time together is a bigger deal than a gift, so we’d rather spend the money to go out. I always get some sort of chocolate though. :)
When we were dating, my now husband gave me a pair of diamond earrings. To this day I still get butterflies when I wear them.
Flowers! It’s the time of year I always get the prettiest flower arrangements from my husband!
My favorite Valentine’s Day was when my husband left work early to beat me home from work and made me a surprise dinner.
My fav thing to do on Valentines day is to stay in, order dinner and watch a movie in front of the fireplace ❤️
I got the most beautiful roses for Valentines Day last year. I also got ski mittens one year (my husband doesn’t ski but supports me in my hobby) which I wanted.
In college, my boyfriend (now husband) decorated my room with chocolate. Then put a big stuffed puppy on my bed covered in jewelery. Not big into any of those things, but all together was really cute.
Wow you have the most comments of anyone so far. Thank you for the offers and lucky is one person. Happy Valentine’s to you in advance.
I’m pretty low maintenance. All I ask for is a night alone with my hubby after the kids are in bed. Snuggle and watch a movie, exchange massages, and a nice dinner (at home is great).
A romantic homemade dinner from my husband!
I’ve never celebrated V Day, but a movie with champagne sounds good to me
My favorite part about Valentine’s Day is that I love love!! In a relationship or not, it has always been my favorite day and I love to spread the love to friends and family. My fiance blew my socks off with our first Valentine’s Day a few years back :)
My birthday is on Valentine’s Day, and my mom always made sure it was a special day for me. One year she made heart-shaped pizzas and went all out on the decorations. Definitely something I won’t forget!
I don’t have any plans yet. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was our one and only date on a Valentine’s Day. Out first year of marriage my husband had the flu and forgot it was Valentine’s day. The next year we had a wonderful date. They next year I was too sick and pregnant to go out and the next year we were new parents. We have not had a V-day date since. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite gift was being asked by my now husband to be his girlfriend on valentines day back in 2011!
The best Valentines day gift I have ever recieved was a giant stuffed animal with a promise ring around its neck.
For our first Valentine’s day, my husband made a custom candy holder and wrote a story on it. SO adorable – I was totally sold on him at that point :)
My favorite valentines day gift was given to me last year by my husband and my son, James. It was an apron with James’ handprints on it in hot pink and my husband wrote in red paint “worlds greatest mom” I cried. :) it was totally sloppy and a beautiful mess, and it’s STILL my all time favorite gift ever. The thoughtfulness is what got me! :))
my favorite valentine memory my hubby cooked me a sweetheart steak with our little girls being our waitresses they loved it and so did I.
I love getting alone time with my husband!
I love the reclaimed wood valentine sign!
I love going to a chick flick with my husband each Valentine’s Day. If there is not a good one playing this year, we will stay in and enjoy one maybe:)
my favorite valentines was the weekend my husband proposed to me 4 years ago this Feb 13th actually but we always celebrate it the 13th or 14th as a valentines date now. I love this valentines basket! We love movies nights!
My favorite v-day gift was a tender heart care-bear I got in College :-) so soft and cuddly and somehow still memorable to this day!
I think one of my favorite Valentine’s gifts was a mug I got from my husband when we were 16. I still use it! :)
I will be on a trip without my kids and husband on Valentines Day, but we will have a fun Valentines breakfast before I leave.
My husband bought me a frame when I was pregnant from Kate Spade that says, “And, baby makes 3.” I only told him once that I loved the frame, but I could hardly believe he went online and ordered it! First time for everything!
My favorite thing is just alone time with him. He is gone a good chunk of the year so time with him is my favorite :) I also love me some white chocolate covered strawberries
I love time with my hubby alone!!
My favorite valentine’s day seems to be the years I get to do surprises for my children. Last year was probably my favorite because we made red & pink pancakes and strawberry milk for breakfast, heart-shaped peanut butter & jelly sandwiches & cuties for lunch, and spaghetti & meatballs for dinner.
We watched a few movies together, played “HEART” (Valentine’s themed BINGO), and just had so much fun laughing and hanging out together.
This year I’d like to do a little more for my husband, and one of these gift baskets will go a long way in making that happen.
My favorite Valentine gift was my daughter!
Thank you!
DH and I don’t really do Valentine’s Day. I do try to make it a little fun for my daughters, though.
Making red velvet cupcakes! Our fav!
This year I’ll b with my son on vday so my boyfriend and I are waiting til he’s home in march to celebrate in our new apartment. I love these basket ideas especially BC I can save it until he’s home and I won’t have to prepare. Thanks
10 years ago this Valentines Day I married my best friend. BEST. VALENTINE. EVER. <3
Melting Pot date night!
Simple – at least 30 minutes of uninterrupted us time. No technology, no phones, kids safely settled with grandparents or babysitter elsewhere.
My favorite valentines dates are at home making shrimp & steak with a bottle of wine!
I am looking forward to spending an evening with my husband and our 8 year old daughter. I try to include her in valentines day because she is also very special.
Plant with flowers, chocolate a new pink gaming controller for my ps3 and a cooked meal. that was the best present ever! :)
Chocolates and flowers :)
My favorite gift from my hubby was a wooden box of cards where he typed out and taped in “wishes” or “treats” for me to redeem (kinda like coupons). He knows that it’s hard for me to ask for things (and being that he gave this to me a few years ago and they are still unused, lol, I’d say he’s right). It was such a thoughtful gift and they sit on my nightstand for whenever I get brave enough to cash in an ice cream run or a back massage. :)
Such a cute Giveaway! Breakfast in Bed is always my favorite!
This will be my first Valentines with my boyfriend… I am so curious to see what happens! I am planning on having a gift box with goodies delivered to his office. He sent me flowers for my birthday, and I have them sitting on my desk right now! :)
Love chocolate strawberries and champagne!
Bubble bath, glass of wine and a good book….oh and some dark chocolate!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift has been a bag full of my favorite candy and candles, beautiful roses, and a homemade italian dinner with my favorite wine. Simple but perfect. Personally, I love the cheesy things on Valentine’s Day. For me, the small and simple things mean the most!
A nice long massage.
diamond earrings
I LOVE to get flowers from my hubs. He has always been anti flowers, so I know he truly lives me when he gives them.
I haven’t received any great valentines, but there was one I did that i loved! I made valentines day cookies for my man & brought them to him for work. Then I wrapped up a bunch of his favorite items with quirky puns; Pistachios – I’m nuts for you, etc. =) We both enjoyed it!
Anything handmade is a favorite of mine. My husband makes silverware jewelry and that is my absolute favorite :)
I love having Valentine’s day be a special day that you can go all out on showing your love for your special man in your life :)
this year my husband works and i work weekends so i really just hope to have at least a few mins of us time lol
The best valentine’s day gift I received was being able to spend some one-on-one time with my husband last year. It was our first one as a married couple and it was one of the sweetest days.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was the dozen long-stemmed red roses my husband bought me when we had an infant. I was crazy sleep-deprived and flowers were a luxury I didn’t think we could afford so getting them meant so much to me :)
My husband and I have never exchanged gifts on Valentine’s Day. As children, my mom would always buy us a special heart shaped treat (yummy!) and a new set of jammies. I have carried on that tradition with my own children, except that I also give them a new Valentine story book each year.
My favorite Valentine’s gift is having a fondue night with my husband and 6 kids each year!
My husband and I have been married just over three years. My favorite Valentine’s Day was our first. He made dinner and brought me flowers. It was super sweet! :-)
When my husband and I were dating he gave me a dozen red roses and a diamond necklace. That was the last time I have got a Valentines gift from him!!
One year my husband bought me my favorite candy, JuJu hearts, something we couldn’t find in our new area, so he had his mom buy some back home and shipped them to me! It was so thoughtful.
I REALLY WANT TO WIN THIS!!
Would love to win this!! I love everything my hubby does, the smallest and simple tends to be really sweet. Also love it when he takes care of the kids on V-day.
Chocolate covered strawberries that my husband and I made for Valentines Day last year :) Great present and it was fun to do!!
I love making valentines with my kiddos. I love the special valentines that my kiddos make for me with their little hand-prints and special drawings.
My favorite Valentine’s Day was 1997 when my husband proposed!!
Hoping for dinner out and some flowers.
When I was in college I was single and hated it. A friend of mine used to surprise me with a rose or some chocolate and tell me Happy Single’s Awareness Day. That was always my favorite.
He surprised me with a delivery of a bouquet of my favorite gerber daisies
My husband surprised me with tickets to see Josh Groban for our first Valentine’s Day together. It was a wonderful evening!
My favorite memories are still the ones from grade school when each student brought a card for everyone in class and put it in their a Valentine box.
I enjoy going out to dinner or having my husband cook it.
I’m letting my hubby do the V-day planning this year :) Excited to see what he has in store!
My favorite Valentines gift was a shopping spree from my hubby :)
Every year our local grocery store make heart shaped chocolate chip cookies with icing that I am in love with. Every year I tell my husband that’s all I want for Valentine’s Day! I like to keep it simple.
I would love to win this basket! The basket itself is even pretty!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was when were married for a few years and my husband cooked us dinner and then took me out for dessert. Also the homemade cards that my children would make for me when they were younger.
For V-day I plan to take my boyfriend on a fun picnic in a local park.
My boyfriend got me a fake hallmark flower that ‘blooms’ and says I love you. At first I was p*ssed. Cause what girl doesn’t love flowers? Then I realized he was right. I don’t need flowers every month to know he loves me. + We are in college. I’m glad he spent $14.00 one year. and Not $40.00 every month. (:
When my husband and I were dating, we visited a local antique mall. For some odd reason, one of the booths had some stuffed animals. To this day, the kid in me still loves stuffed animals though I don’t collect them anymore. Anyway, I saw two cute Valentine beanie babies and a set of stuffed bears that were hugging each other. Like a geek, I squealed over how cute they were. My husband remembered and I received all of them for Valentine’s Day.
These days all of my gifts pretty much come from my 14 year old son. Since he goes to the mall himself and spends his own money, I treasure them all. :) He’s actually a very good gift-giver.
One year I surprised my husband with an ipod touch. It was my favorite because he was so surprised and he is so impossible to surprise. That was probably our best Valentine’s so far. :)
I got a pair of earrings.
A big box of Godiva chocolate covered oranges!
The best Valentine’s Day gift was a surprise candlelight dinner my husband made including my favorite food: Salmon-even though he doesn’t like fish!
my husband and i will be spending this valentine’s day on vacation in costa rica! i’m sure it will be our best valentine’s day yet.
Ever since we had kids me and my husband stopped doing stuff for each other and just get a heart shaped pizza and share it with the family. I would love to actually surprise him with a real gift this year
I love it when my husband plans the entire night!
Roses
I am good with chocolate!
Valentine’s day is the day before my birthday, so it is important to note that they are separate celebrations. Luckily my boyfriend has this figured out. :-) hehe
I love to get chocolates. Also cake is good
One year my hubs got my scissors. Yes, scissors. It sounds bad, but actually it was super thoughtful! I had been complaining about the scissors we had, so he thought he’d get me nice ones. I’ve had better gifts, but he gets an A for effort on that one!
coriwestphal at msn dot com
A relaxing night at home with my family :)
OH I am in love with that basket!!!
Last year I put together an Alice in Wonderland V-day for the whole family. I bought hubs the Johnny Depp version (his fave), and then I made little cookies that said Eat Me, we had fondue, and played cricket with the kids using random toys for the sticks and balls.
There’s nothing more special to me than the heartfelt handmade cards I’ve received from my eldest daughter over the last 14 years :)
Valentines day or any day is not my forte as I have never celebrated them since I’m still single
My husband is away on Valentines this year so I am going to have a little party with my kids.
We don’t give gifts for Valentine’s Day due to financial problems, but I am still treated special by the hubster!
We really don’t “do” Valentine’s Day. When we were dating I’m sure I got flowers.
Some of my favorite Valentine’s Day gifts include tickets to a concert and surprise flowers!
A night out to dinner and the symphony!
I visit your site because I love all the craft and recipe ideas!
We were engaged on Valentines Day…always will be a special day to me!
any time i can pry him away from studying is the best gift everrrr
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was from my now husband, on our first ever V-Day together. He bought me the very cliche dozen roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates. It’s my favorite, not because of the items he gave me, but because of how absolutely sweet he was when he handed them to me. He looked so nervous, which is very unusual for Mr. Tough Guy Hubby of mine, and as he handed me the roses he said “I hope these are okay, I’m not very good at this.” I think I fell about ten times more in love with him that day!
My favorite way to spend Valentine’s Day is with my hubby and 3 kids. We go out to dinner, come home and put the kids to bed and then snuggle up and watch a movie together!
When we were dating, my husband painted me a picture of van goh’s the sunflowers. Still my favorite thing ever.
love this!
I have made heart shaped meatloaf and pink scalloped potatoes nearly every year since we got married 39 years ago. The few years I was unable to do it we all missed it.
I love handmade and thoughtful gifts – like a picture book my husband made with some of our favorite memories!
My favorite Valentine was the day my husband came to my job and surprised me with a huge I love you heart shaped balloon 2 bouquets of flowers and my favorite chocolates.
Our V-Day will be pretty laid back. We’re trying to save money, plus we don’t like the crazy restaurant crowds that day. It’ll be a nice evening of dinner at home & maybe a movie on the couch. But it’ll be awesome!
My favorite valentine’s present: my husband showed up at work with flowers and balloons, and took me out for lunch! Loved it. I like surprising him on this day too.
The best Valentines day gift ever was about 11 years ago when my husband brought a little mutt he found home as a gift for me for Valentines day. I still have that little doggie and love him even more!
My favorite Valentines was 3 years ago when I got engaged to the love of my life! Don’t know how that’s ever going to be topped!
Before we were married, my husband covered my car, while I was at work, with heart shaped post-it notes. It was so sweet.
Last year he gave me a huge teddy bear, a ton of roses. I had filled up give vases with them plus he got me some in a vase already so that was six vases filled with beautiful roses !! And candy that i love :) Im not sure what he has planned this year but i know ill love it ! <3
I love the traditional flowers, chocolates and beautiful gifts!
The Best present was a helicopter ride! the company was not the best but I definitely enjoyed the Gift♥
We don’t do a big Valentine’s night but it would be simple and sweet to have a romantic dinner =) Candles and everything!
I like to use my heart shaped cake pan to make a special cake for my hubby each year!
I’d love to receive a massage! I’m pregnant, and tired lol :)
I love the written vows that are in the basket. That is such a cute idea.
My husband and I like to keep valentines homemade since his birthday is just 5 days after. Every year though I get roses and lillies and we plan a romantic night in. It is the best!
I would love to get chocolate covered strawberries!!
I am a cheese ball when it comes to holidays but what i always like most is being with my man. I also love it when I can tell he thought about it.
Oh my Goodness!!! I am so excited to make the Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Parfaits! They truly look amazing!
I’m most looking forward to a much needed date night with my husband. We have a almost 10 month old son and i can count on one hand the number of times we’ve both been away from him together (other than work).
All of our family’s birthdays are all right around Valentine’s Day so it often is just forgotten about. My husband and I could use some help to make it special! Thanks for the giveaway!
My fav valentines gift would have to be anything chocolate :)
Most of all I love being alone with my husband on Valentine’s Day, with nothing at all to focus on but each other!
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 years and we always make each other homemade gifts. Last year he made me a stuffed character from my favorite cartoon!
Anything from hubby would be a wonderful surprise, especially flowers!
I love to get anything jewelry for Valentine’s Day!
My girls (16 & 10) love to decorate for every holiday, so I always make them and my husband Valentines Day baskets just like Easter Baskets. It is the best gift ever to see their faces and to know they really do know how much I love them!!
Unfortunately, Valentines Day doesn’t get much notice around these parts :) For the first couple years we were married my husband went snowmobiling with his dad and brothers (it’s a long standing tradition for them to go over President’s Day weekend, which usually ends up coinciding with Valentine’s Day!) And then the last few years we have been in Grad school, so it seemed like there was always studying or something that would get in the way. But my husband is so good about getting me roses for the occasion, which I love! So that makes up for all the missed Valentine’s Day dinners and whatnot ;-)
I would love the $50 Visa gift card! :-)
love this giveaway!
My first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend (now fiance) he got me a framed, limited edition Tim Tebow picture collage. It is amazing and is on the wall of our apartment now.
A trip to downtown Toronto for a weekend spent with my boyfriend. Quite simple and not far away but it was lovely spending some quality time with him. :)
i would love to have “the vow” as i haven’t taken time to watch it yet – but i am sure it would be a frequent choice.
Every year my husband get me a bouquet of flowers!!!
My favorite Valentine’s gift ever was from my husband, the month after we were married. We were long-distance the first six months, and when he would visit I would cry like a baby and be perfectly ridiculous about letting him go… I was a teacher and had decided not to quit my job mid-year, but after the wedding I wished I had!! So I could move up to where he was in school right away. Anyhow, he gave me a teddy bear, a really cuddly one, to hold when he left so it would be easier. I t still comes in handy when he’s away at a conference! :)
I love my homemade jewelry box made by my 3 year old at home depot!
My son:) 2/14/2004
Always love candy for V day!
When I was 6ish, a janitor at a nearby nursing home brought me a heart shaped box of chocolates and did this for several years. My little girl heart was in love and I vowed to marry that guy! Well, that never happened, but I’ve never felt as special since then…he really swept me off my feet!
My favorite gift was from my husband for our first Valentine’s day when we were dating. He gave me a framed print from his favorite local artist that depicted the ‘key to your heart’. I still love it!
Roses from my hubby
the best gift i received was the year my son was born 2/14 he was the best gift ever.
The best gift I was given was my child.
I’m going to try to make my family feel special the 13 days leading up to Valentine’s, then shower them with extra love on the 14th.
Such fun! Where did you find the darling basket?
I would love to share this giveaway with my Valentine of almost 29 years! This giveaway looks AWESOME!! Thanks.
the best present i ever got for V-day was a ring!
Back in grade school my class had a Valentine’s day party and, in addition to exchanging cards and candy, my teacher had all of us take a blank piece of paper and write our names at the top. Then we passed our papers around the room until it got back to us and everyone had to write an anonymous, nice message on each person’s paper with something they liked about them. It’s really silly and probably doesn’t count as a gift, but I still have it and it’s one of the nicest things I own.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was when my father surprised me with flowers and huge bear. I was in high school and single so I honestly didn’t expect to get anything that day. Even after ten years, that memory is still a favorite of mine :)
This Valentine’s will be combined with my Feb. wedding anniversary….30 years….so we will be celebrating big! Not sure yet what we are doing. =)
My favorite Valentine gift was from my two girls. A huge sign they made saying how much they love me and their daddy.
I loved your friendship loom Valentine card idea.. So fun!!
For the last couple of years I’ve done a “count down” to Valentines Day with a little somethng special each day for my husband. I’m blessed… every day with him is like Valentine’s Day even after 33 years.
to be honest, we don’t celebrate V-day much since our anniversary is so closed to the V-day, I know it’s sad but we actually enjoy to be creative during our anniversary anyway :-) Love the idea of the “Anniversary Gifts: On the Hour” .. may have to copy that this year. Thanks for sharing!
I love getting flowers from my husband on Valentine’s Day. He doesn’t buy flowers too often, so it’s always a treat to get them!
My favorite thing to give away for Valentine’s Day is homemade treats! Last year I did sugar cookies with pink royal icing and tiny heart sprinkles.
When I was in grade school, my boyfriend gave me a Walkman with a mix tape that he made for me. Best gift ever! Ha.
V Day is the one holiday my husband is the worst at. But our first when we were dating 6 yrs ago was the best. I woke up to flowers and teddy bear on my windshield. so sweet for him to drive over to my place before he went to work early.
My favorite gift ever was an engagement ring! Cliché, but awesome. : )
This will be my first Valentine’s Day with my new hubby! I’m mostly just looking forward to a great night out (or in!) with him!
I love that target basket too! Too bad my target doesn’t have them! :(
my favorite Valentine’s was my fiance taking me to dinner at On The Border then giving me a gift of a massage bar from Lush Cosmetics… then giving me a backrub and footrub on the couch during my favorite movie!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a gorgeous necklace!
This is going to sound silly but I think my favorite gift would be my gift from last year. My boyfriend HATES getting me flowers so he bought me flower seeds. On the package it says “flowers guaranteed to grow’ he crossed of flowers and wrote love. Cheesy but at same time cute.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was my husband! We had our first group date the day before Valentine’s and we decided we would go out again on Valentine’s Day but I was told not to expect anything at all! He knocks on the door and to this day I still remember looking through the peep hole of my door and seeing him standing there with flowers and when I opened the door he hands me a card too so I was thrilled I had a cute date, flowers, and a card what more could I want and the best part he has been the best Valentine I ever got so I kept him!! :o)
This Valentine’s Day I would like a nice romantic dinner :) at home since I will be having a new born in the next few weeks. Some flowers would be great too. lol
Chocolate is my favorite gift :-)
I loved the box of chocolates I received from my two boys after my youngest was born. He was about 8 months old and it meant so much to have both of my sons give them to me.
My husband proposed to me on Valentine’s Day – he carefully refilled an m&m’s bag with a ring and all red m&m’s.
When we were engaged, I was nine hours away from him at school and we each sent each other a package for Valentine’s Day (he came to visit me a few weeks later for his birthday) and it was full of fun things like a fabric rose and candy and all sorts of fun things.
I loved some coupons my husband gave me last year. He printed them and they were like…breakfast in bed, massage etc..
A night without the kids is the best gift… and of course chocolate!
No plans for VDay yet, I’m hoping my husband surprises me!
I VOW to follow your blog 365 days this year! Glad I stumbled onto this website!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was our house. We had it built and really wanted to be in by Valentine’s Day – we were! That was nearly two years ago now and I still can’t believe it’s my house!
3 weeks after my then boyfriend (now husband) returned from his mission. Romantic dinner by candlelight.
I’m happy with just a note. My husband is the sentimental one between the two of us.
My husband and I switch every other year on who plans our valentines date. This year is my year, and even though im not sure what we will be doing im way exciting to plan it and hopefully find a babysitter for our new addition! last year my husband took us to Anniversary Inn were we spent our wedding night and went out to dinner and it was so much fun!!
We don’t really do much, just small little gifts from family :)
What I want for V-day – a full night’s sleep! LOL – I have a16 month old who doesn’t like to sleep.
Love the basket!!! Thank you for the giveaway! HOPING I WIN!!
A teddy bear and roses from my daddy.
going to the melting pot for dinner.
This is one of my favorite baskets so far! I love it! One of my best Valentine’s Dates with my husband were when we had recently had a baby and didn’t want to go in public to celebrate. I put a fire in the fire place, hubby went and picked up our favorite pizza and we had pizza and Pepsi in wine glasses on a blanket in front of the fire while watiching Mystic Pizza since it was raining outside!! All of my favorite things wrapped up into one night with the love of my life! I love getting jewelry for Valentine day but I am very content just spending time with my husband.
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift would have to be this tiny little plastic snow globe he gave to me for out first Valentine’s Day together in 1996. To this day it sit son our shelf and every time I look at it I think about how much the little things he does means to me.
Back in the dating days, I would love receiving flowers, but now since we have been married, we don’t usually do anything for Valentine’s Day.
My fav Valentine’s Day my husband took me to dinner, and when we got home our entire living room was full of balloons filled with messages:). I got a chick flick and popped balloons, it was so thoughtful!
I love me some chocolate covered cherries!
We go out with a group of couples that have been friends for 30 years! Would love to win!!!
This year my husband and I are going out to a theme dinner (rustic- our favorite) and then making chocolate dipped strawberries at home. The next morning I’ll make him breakfast and then we’re going ice skating :) I also made him an advent calendar and am placing a cute note or treat in for each day between Jan 30 (our dating ann) and Valentine’s Day :)
My husband usually works on Valentine’s Day, so we usually celebrate with a date night on a different day. But one thing I love to do is make treats and me and my boys take them to the neighbors (ring and run style). Then we come home and have a candlelight pizza dinner and play games or watch a movie.
I love when my husband gives me his wonderful gift of time!
My favorite Valentine gift is a couples massage! My body needs it right now too!
I don’t have a favorite Valentine’s for myself, but once I made a Valentine’s Day card box in 5th grade that looked like an old ‘I Love Lucy’ TV.
I think one of the best Valentine’s Days that I’ve had was when I was dating my hubby. He got a key to my house from my mom and while I was at school he decorated my whole room with roses and rose petals. It was very sweet.
My hubby and I are going to have a fun Staycation! I started planning it yesterday and I’m really excited about it!
One year I got a spa package for a pedicure, facial, and massage!! Loved it!
Cute basket! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was finding out that I was pregnant with our third (and last) child! :)
When my husband and I were dating, he brought me a dozen lemon donuts (my favorites) with roses for Valentine’s day early in the morning. It was the sweetest thing since we had only known each other for a few months!!
hmm…A small White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Not the healthiest gift, but I was totally surprised when I opened the fridge!! :)
My favorite gift was my Ktichenaid mixer – my favorite kitchen tool!
Night out with the hubs. Handmade cards from the kids. Both are super special!
Thanks for the chance :)
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was my engagement ring. :D
I’d love to watch, “the Vow” with my husband!
This is our first year of living together as a couple & we are so tight financially that I’d love to do something special for my fiance without having to pay an arm & a leg! We have a two year old so taking special time out for our relationship is extra special and important to us.
Just getting to spend time together with my husband and daughter is a good enough Valentine’s gift for me. We really don’t have much time together any more so I am hoping we may at least get to go out to dinner that day just the three of us :) Thanks for all the great posts you have. My daughter and I have found a lot of great ideas of things to make together!
My husband took me on my first date on Valentines day.
I think my favorite valentine’s gift was a spa package my husband gave me. He let me go and pamper myself for a whole day (not on valentine’s day of course, spent that with him!)
My favorite valentines day gift was my husband. Last year he came home from a 7 month deployment the first week of February, just in time to celebrate Valentines Day!
My favorite Valentine’s gift ever? My engagement ring!
I love jewelery!
I just found your blog and I cannot wait to come back to it and look through more of your projects. My husband last year bought me 3 Hydrangea plants that I could plant in the front year. I love those flowers and he wanted me to keep them. It was the sweetest gift
My favorite Valentine’s gift was a homemade card and dinner at home (not made by me!)
I have a non-planning boyfriend so there are no plans yet. I will wait patiently but a fun basket would help the evening!!
I received a heart locket with pictures of my children in it from my husband….priceless.
My husband gave me a Meyer lemon tree. I still love it and enjoy lemons from it!
I would love to win this. I have never seen the movie and everything else looks great oo.
my Valentines Day have been rather boring, I need something exciting!
No plans for Valentine’s Day yet. Getting ideas for gifts for my hubby & kiddos! :)
We have no plan for Valentine’s, which is why i need a fun basket. ;) We are always slackers when it comes to Valentine’s so I need to get on the ball and surprise him.
I so want to go to Hawaii with my husband and to have everything done for us so we could just relax and get to know each other again
Love that basket. I love home-making valentines…even though I’m not a child, it still is fun.
This years Valentine’s Day will most likely consist of hanging out once the kids are asleep and probably a special dessert/meal that we don’t have to share with the little ones. :)
I am making a valentine topiary for home décor.
I am hoping this year for Valentine’s day that I can make a nice romantic dinner for just the 2 of us. If not- then we will go to one of our fav restaurants!
Our first Valentine’s together my husband made a romantic dinner at home and gave me a beautiful bracelet.
My favorite gift was a romantic weekend away while we were in college.
I’m a candy and chocolate person. If it is homemade or from a specialty shop even better!
Last year mu husband bought me the camera I was dying for! I was so happy! I love taking pictures of my family and when we travel! Love, Love, Love Valentines day! Thanks for a great giveaway!
My plans for this V-Day are to spend the evening with my sweetie after work for dinner and just us time at home!
A night at home is always enough.
I love surprises so just getting any recognition of Valentines Day is great!
My hubby is pretty thoughtful. My fav gift was a pair of running shoes… I love that man
My favorite thing to receive on Valentine’s is actually handmade notes! They’re filled with sincere emotions, and are way better than a piece of jewelry. And it’s not every day I can get my boyfriend to write out how he feels!
We will go out the weekend following Valentines Day since it gets really crowded, maybe a movie and dinner.
My gift was a care package from my mom when I was in college.
I’ve really only gotten Valentine’s from my kids and they are precious :)
Chocolates are my favorite Valentines Day gift.
I recall getting a balloon with my gift but within minutes of finding it, my dog decided it was his play toy. My husband was so upset that I let the dog play with it.
My favorite Valentine’s gift was my black boots my husband gave me 9 years ago. They have since fell apart and I don’t have them anymore, but he bought me shoes ;)
My fav Valentines gift has to be a handmade necklace my (then) boyfriend (now hubby) picked up a few years back for me a local craft spot! I still wear it religiously!
I would love and appreciate anything that my husband puts thought and effort behind! A nice night just the 2 of us doing anything would be lovely…
Your basket looks awesome! Not only is the basket super cute but so is everything in it…and I’ve never watched The Vow. So see I need to win =)
I love flowers. There is something about him getting flowers that reminds me throughout the day that he loves me, he had to think about something he never thinks of, and that he did something only because he knows I appreciate it. That just makes my day and the days after when I’m scrubbing mud off the floor for the umpteenth time and I catch a glance of those pretty flowers out of the corner of my eye.
This Valentine’s Day, we’re keeping it simple: probably homemade dinner and a movie night in:)
I love to be able to make my family a fancy dinner and show them how much I love them! :)
We have five teenaged athletes in our house, so valentines day is most often spent on a bleacher! I usually make a special breakfast with little handmade valentines and a special treat to start the day though.
My Husband and I order a heart pizza. we make a little picnic inside and hang pretty lights. Its one of my favorite holidays now.
We closed on our first house together on Valentine’s day and celebrated by eating pizza on the floor along with some champagne. It was perfect!
not having to do the dishes (or cook) Is all I really want. not having to clean up after everyone would be nice too. hey, just thought of something else…having someone else do the taxes!
My favorite was our first Valentine’s Day married (we got married on 2/10). We were on our honeymoon and my husband ordered champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and had our room covered in rose petals. <3
The best Valentine’s Day was when my husband planned a quiet and delicious dinner and dessert with all the fufu decorations for us to share.
Valentines getaway
One of my favorite Valentine’s Day gifts was our first one together, we’d only been dating a few months and he took the time to make this HUGE Rice Krispy treat made in the shape of a heart, and then decorated it. I also got a huge stuffed animal and a beautiful necklace. We’d not been dating long but he already knew I wasn’t the chocolate type girl and worked hard to make it special! Nowadays with 5 kids we don’t do gifts so much, just wonderful date nights out.
We don’t usually celebrate Valentine’s day so I’m hoping to do something special this year. My husband always brings me flowers so it’s nice that he still thinks of me even though we don’t go all out!
When my husband and I were first dating in college, he spent all his money to buy me flowers. We were so broke, we dressed up and ate in the school cafeteria for valentine’s day.
A garnet ring. My husband knew I had always wanted one. :)
Every year for valentines day my husband and I share a heart shaped pepperoni pizza from Papa Murphy’s and a bottle of wine, then we watch a movie in our PJ’s. This is what we do instead of exchanging gifts, we just make time for each other and our relationship.
Homemade cards from my kids.
A night in with The Hubs after the kids are in bed is my favorite thing to do for Valentine’s Day!
my hubs used to get me baskets full of stuff and flowers and tons of v-day presents when we were dating. But the best valentine’s gift I’ve ever gotten was just a handmade valentine my mom helped my daughter and son make.
I love doing fun things for Valentine’s Day. I usually pick one of my kids or my hubby and ask for a favorite meal. I love making cards. Last year I used the Dating Divas idea and have it all printed out for this year! I am always looking for ideas to do special stuff!
My favorite: Chocolate!
Cheesecake Factory is a tradition for us. We dress up and go out to dinner and have a great time!
I just love valentines day! the best gift is when my husband surprised me with an expensive necklace and a wonderful dinner.
I got a Tiffany bracelet last year for V-Day. But I love getting flowers… My husband rarely gets them for me.
one year I received more chocolate than I knew what to do with! it was awesome!
this year we plan on using gift cards to Olive Garden and movie certificates received over the holidays to go on a nice date! it works out nicely that it will be free for us because we’re trying to save save save for the wedding in October! :D
Able to sleep late and breakfast in bed!
My orchid from my husband last year…it lasted for a few months!
I love giving gifts. I gave my boys personalized cookies from a local cookie maker and a trip to I Fly, :) I also have fun making special meals.
I love the Valentine’s cards that my son has made me over the years. I keep all of them and they mean the most to me!
I have always been an awful gift giver so my goal for this year is to find something that my husband will love. It’s going to be tough but I’m determined :)
Every year I have been with my boyfriend I have made a huge nice dinner at home, usually a surf and turf. Its usually the same every year for the most part but just seeing him happy with a full belly is all I go for.
I would love stackable rings with my hubby and my initials on them!
2 years ago, my baby was 2 days old, and my husband gave me a Pandora bracelet and some cute charms to celebrate being a mom. It’s one of my all-time favorite gifts!
Many years ago my husband gave me a simple pair of Garnet -heart shaped lever back earrings. I wear them and love them to this day because he picked them out all on his own.
I love that he brings me roses and my favorite chocolates every year!
Time alone with my husband
Getting freshly picked flowers and having them delivered with a card that said …Let’s go out to dinner tonight and leave the kids with a sitter from the hubby.
The best vday gift I’ve ever received was having a day off from the family and spent it in the spa :) It sounds selfish but was very much needed.
I love getting a fresh bundle of flowers :)
I love the cards that my husband picks out for me each Valentine’s Day. He takes pride in each one he picks.
My favorite valentines date was making dinner with my now fiancé and watching a movie together in a fort we built in the living room.
Just an evening out with my husband would be great!
My husband is fabulous at all holidays so it’s exciting to see what he comes up with each year.
Hoping to have a romantic dinner out or a romantic weekend away! Your basket looks fun!
my favorite valentines day present was a teddy bear and chocolates!
My favorite gift was a garden cart with a garden set in a beautiful wood box, new gloves, and a beautiful flower to plant.

received a very dainty gold watch one valentines
We don’t do gifts (but really should after seeing some of the clever things). The first year we were married I was student teaching. He got me a flower and made breakfast. Simple yet memorable.
shhh. don’t tell but the one I remember the most is a teddy bear from my very first boyfriend. Every Valentines Day we enjoy a night out at the arcade with husband and daughter – we love to play games and it’s pretty empty then.
I got a kitchen aid mixer 2 v-days ago! WOW!! best boyfriend ever!
I love love! So Valentine’s is one of my favorite holidays. I mostly just love spending extra time with my husband, doesn’t have to be anything fancy at all.
Last year my boyfriend got me a bottle of Kinky Liquor, which was sweet because it shows that he listens, because I think buying flowers at Valentine’s is a waste of money, so he got me something useful!
We don’t have plans yet for V-day, but it’s my husband and I’s 7 year dating anniversary, AND I’m due with baby #3 in March… so I’m thinking we should do it big :)
My boyfriend and I don’t trade Valentine’s gifts because our anniversary is right before it, but our first Valentine’s Day, he got me a bear from Build-a-Bear, dressed like a rock star and I take him with me on all of my trips, so he has been all over the world.
I am trying to do something small every day for the 14 days prior to v day
Absolutely LOVE this basket!!! Perfect for the true romantic ♥
i loved exchanging cards as a kid!
My plans for Valentine’s Day this year are the same as they’ve always been since meeting my husband: a picnic inside. Simple and fun. :)
My hubby has sent me a few great flower bouquets in the past – but he doesn’t always do it, so it’s not something that I expect. I love when he does though :)
Thanks for the chance on winning such a fabulous basket of goodies.
This year, we are spending Valentine’s Day with a group of high school students and we are planning on making the day special for them.
This year me and the other half are going to Center Parcs for Valetines day! So excited!
Best gift was breakfast in bed a massage and a hold day of relaxation! I’m going to print out some photo booth props and do a “shoot” with the kids for valentine’s day.
My favorite valentines gift was a spa day from my husband. I had the best massage of my life! My husband isn’t the real romantic kind but always gifts the best gifts. He hates massages but knows I love them. I had the best pampering day!
Not to be a Debbie downer, but I rarely get presents at all. Usually money is an issue. I love the baskets though! I love you’re blog because it helps me be creative when my brain is on “well done” mode, and I love your budget idea. I’m honestly trying to help be more financial savvy this year. Thanks for the great ideas. Keep up the good work!
My favorite gift was from my now husband and it was my puppy!!
You have such a cute blog and basket! :)
My husband always writes me a lovely card and gets me flowers. When we were first dating, he worked for a corporate gift giving company, so he made me a beautiful basket. Only problem, some of the beautifully wrapped chocolates sat a bit too close to some expensive soap and picked up the flavor, lol!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a necklace with our initials in it. It was a locket necklace. This was my high school boyfriend from when I was 16, but it was special!
One year my husband sent me a Vermont Teddy Bear at work. He NEVER sends me things, so it was really, really special.
I always love it when my hubby gets me flowers! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love you guys! So creative :)
I just love snuggling up with my hubby for a quiet night in!
Wow! I love all the comments. I stumbled upon this blog because of the giveaway (I started with the Dating Divas :), but I will definitely be checking it more now. I love blogs with ideas of special things to do with/for your spouse.
My husband has surprised me with flowers, every now and then, ever since we were dating. My favorite was a few years ago, for Valentine’s Day, I got a mini rose bush. It lasted a while (translation: I didn’t kill it off with neglect ;), and it grew and bloomed so much. It was so fun and exciting to have a gift that lasted more than a few days, and when the weather warmed up, I moved it outside and got new buds every day for almost the whole summer! I couldn’t believe that little bush could do so much. :) Unfortunately, it died shortly after we were married, in our apartment. I think bugs must have gotten into the dirt when I put it back in a pot to move it. :( I was really hoping it would last until we bought a house (which we did, a year later) and I could plant it in our yard. That would have been so neat to have!
He bought me a gorgeous bracelet which I wear every single day.
My favorite Valentines Gift Ever is always my favorite flowers together, Sunflowers and Calla Lillies!
I love it my husband picks out perfume for me. When I wear it I know he likes it because he chose it.
I just want a date night with my hubby, they are so rare!
Just a nice note to know I’m loved :) and this giveaway is so cute!
My favorite Valentine’s gift was just after I’d gone through a painful divorce (thankfully happily married now!). My brother sent flowers to me so I wouldn’t feel left out. So sweet!
Surprised with cafe rio take out by my husband coming home when he was supposed to work late.
My favorite gift is time… I just love it when we get to spend time together without other things interfering….
Waking up with a note and a gift by my pillow!!
Wonderful giveaway!
My husband and I have never exchanged Valentine’s Day gifts, so this would be fun for us.
My favorite gift on Valentine’s Day is being together and actually getting take out and staying in. Talking and cuddling.
My favorite gift is time to spend with my husband. When he brings chocolate, that is even better.
My favorite Valentines Day gift was a ski trip to Keystone. My Birthday is the day before Valentines so I sometimes get extra lucky :o)
Excited to try some of these ideas for my boys! But i would like a special date night with the hubby to celebrate 25 years since he proposed on Valentines!
We were on our Honeymoon on Valentines Day 1999
By far the best Valentines Day ever :)
Last year was our first valentines’ together and hubby left a trail of roses all over the house and into the car. Loved getting his sweet messages :)
My favorite Valentine’s gift was when my husband bought me a new closet system from Lowe’s, he installed it for Valentine’s Day but not before painting my closet Victoria’s Secret PINK!
My favorite valentine’s gift was the gold heart necklace that my husband gave to me on our first Valentine date before we were married. I still wear it and cherish it.
One grandson One niece and One great-niece born on February 14th! Beautiful day in my life!
I actually have never received a Valentines gift out side of V-day cards and chocolates from my mom when I was little.
I got 12 yellow roses my favorite for Valentines day
My husband is not big on surprising me for valentines day. :( but I always try and make it special.
A totally unexpected and sweet handmade card from my son when he was just three years old. He’s now 21 and I still have that sweet little card!
I think I will cook for my boyfriend :)
A homemade wooden box that my hubby made me for little keepsakes. it was very cute and thoughtful. and of course i love going out for a romantic dinner. it’s tradition to go to red lobster on valentines day and my birthday. other than that we never go so it really is a treat. ;)
Chocolate dipped strawberries
I know it sounds cheesy, but my favorite part of Valentine’s Day is the card my husband gets for me. He always writes the sweetest things in there,
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was my calculator watch from my boyfriend. I would love to print and make the vow card!
My favorite Valentine gift was a diamond necklace!
Valentine’s Day is my favorite day of the year! Roses, romance, sweethearts, & CHOCOLATE :) What’s not to love about this day! This year I’m hoping that we are on a road trip to celebrate Valentine’s & our 8th Anniversary (which is actually on the 18th). We love to travel together and try new things! Getting to eat a nice meal and spend the day with my husband is always my favorite gift, even though, I NEVER turn down pretty flowers or a sweet treat!
Chocolate Covered Pretzels always work for me!
I find the simplist things romantic… my husband washed a load of laundry and I swear he became the most attractive, caring person in that moment :)
My favorite Valentine’s day was when my boyfriend (now husband) was in the military, and he surprised me by driving 10 hours to be with me for one day!
We just moved to a new town away from our families and haven’t found a good babysitter. With 2 babies under 2, I’m guessing Valentine’s Day will look a little different this year :)
I’m so burned out after the Christmas Crazy, that this Valentine’s basket would be a much needed relief!
I got a heartfelt letter and it really was my favorite!
We are going to see a play with 2 other couples this Valentines. My favorite gift ever was a heart shaped diamond necklace from my husband.
I got the best Valentine’s gift last year – my sweet baby was born on Valentine’s day!
I love making valentines with my children!
Every year, the men in our church small group cook the women dinner and pamper us. Last year, they even brought in a massage therapist and we got massages while they were cooking. It was a wonderful treat!!!
A long-awaited ring from Tiffanys.
Staying in with my hubby!
Spending time with my hubby is the best gift for me!
My favorite Valentine’s gift is chocolate. I LOVE chocolate and my husband is great about getting it for me and always giving really wonderful cards to go with them.
My husband and I usually don’t do much for V day except go out to dinner and spend time together. Honestly that time is the best gift that I could get. I don’t need a lot, just time well spent.
One year my husband learned how to give massages with out me knowing and surprised me with it. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
anything with caramel :)
I don’t remember anything special on Valentines. Hubby always gets me roses.
I know it sounds silly, but one of my favorites was when my husband gave me a matching set of pens and pencils for our office so they would all match. I just loved that he knew me well enough to know that would make me happy :). I’m pretty sure he got me flowers too, but it’s the pens I remember :)
I love getting just a simple date night (even at home) with my man. Any time that we can spend together (just the two of us) is wonderful for me.
My now-husband orchestrated the delivery of flowers and jewelry to me on Valentine’s Day while he was studying in England when we were in college – definitely one of my favorites!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a necklace my husband gave me. He knew I had had my eye on it for a while and surprised me with it!
I always love getting chocolate, but more importantly, love spending time with my hubby and family!
A heart necklace for our first Valentine’s Day. I still wear it!
my hubby and I don’t generally exchange gits for Valentine’s but I do love the cards he gets for me.
I love dinner out for Valentine’s Day. Its a few hours where we can just focus on each other and enjoy the company.
One of my favorite Valentine’s Day gifts from my husband was a heart shaped necklace with sapphires and diamonds. Our birthdays and anniversary are all in September, so sapphires are symbolic of our love.
We will probably have a Valentine’s Dinner here at the house with the kids!
This Valentines I hope to be able to relax and cuddle with my husband. Since our daughter was born this is a rare thing. It sounds really simple, but to me it sounds like heaven on earth!
Most valentines my sweetheart gets me a new book. I love them and look forward to them every year!
On my first Valentine’s day with my now husband, we had only been dating for about a month so I was stumped when it came to a present. I finally decided on a cookie bouquet delivered to work and when I went to pay for it, i met a man who had recently lost his wife and was buying cookie bouquets for his kids. We chatted for awhile and then he ended up paying for mine. So sweet!
My favorite gift was actually more of an experience. (: My husband and I had been married ALMOST a month and I came home on Valentine’s Day after a long day at work and was pretty much expecting to *maybe* go out to dinner and be done (we were pretty broke after our wedding). But instead I pulled up to tea light candles lining my driveway and leading up to the front door. At the front door, there were flowers waiting on our bench outside and then when I stepped in the house there were candles EVERYWHERE and my husband was waiting (dressed up in a suit) with our song on the stereo so we could dance together. (: Then he made me a very nice dinner and followed it with some wine and a bubble bath. Seriously the BEST Valentine’s ever. (:
Just time alone with my husband is a great gift!
I think my most favorite Valentine’s Day gift was a Spa package and dinner out! What a perfect way to de-stress and then enjoy the lovely romantic night out on the town with my love! =)
I’m really not too big on Valentine’s day. I’ve gotten flowers a few years and love it!
I got the most gorgeous ring last year from my wonderfully thoughtful boyfriend. He also did the whole cheesy rose petals leading to the bed with candles, champagne and he all of this was in a room he rented with a hot tub for us to enjoy afterwards. It was magical. :)
We’ve never done much for Valentine’s Day – – usually just small handmade gifts. I think my favorite is the first that my husband gave me, a handmade felt album with quotes & things he loved about me. This was before felt was big – – who knew I had such a trendsetter for a husband?! ;)
just the time being able to spend it with my husbands being an army wife there are lots of times we dont get that
A night out with my hubby!
Such a sweet gift basket!
My bf is very similar to your hubby… he’s got sleeve tattoos and looks kind of bada** but he’s the biggest mush in the history of ever. It’s what I love most about him :) My favorite Valentine’s Day was the year he surprised me in my apartment by cooking me a delicious vegetarian meal–he got bonus points for pulling out the chair and getting my favorite bottle of wine.
Valentine’s Day? I honestly hadn’t even considered it yet. Maybe we will use our movie certificates and go out for dinner. Thanks for making me start thinking about it!
we will be going to dinner at a nice restaurant we have been wanting to try! husby will be working 6p-10a the week before, so it will definitely be a needed date!
We don’t normally do much on V day, due to lack of time/money, and my mother in law lives with us. We know we need to change that, but aren’t sure what we can do.
My husband writes really sweet love letters to me on Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
I have no clue what I am doing for Valentines.
My favorite Valentines Day gift was seventeen years ago- I found out I was going to have a boy! (I have five daughters)
Never have plans for Valentine’s. My husband think it’s a lame holiday but at least he gives me flowers.. sometimes. I hope to get a little something or get out of the house at least.
Thanks for the fun giveaways!
Found your blog via the valentine’s blog-hop. I love doing special things for my husband. This year I plan to put little notes/cards/garlands around the house Feb 1-14 for him to find.
I always want just a lazy day with my hubby. Just a time out from the world to be just the two of us.
I have never really had a Valentine’s day to remember so this year I’d like to create a special one to remember. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
I love the idea of making heart-shaped cookies and treats!
My favorite gift for valentine’s day was my heart shaped flowered plant. It was more the thought that even though he didn’t have money he found some just to get me a gift.
The best gift I have ever received on Valentines day would have to be my engagement ring two years ago. It was totally unexpected since I was 3 hrs away at college and it was a Tuesday night!
My favorite Valentine’s Day gift is a romantic evening for two.
I don’t usually get much for Valentine’s Day, but my favorite one was actually one in which all of the kids were included. We had a “fancy” dinner at home by candlelight.
Just found your website! Looking forward to browsing through it. The idea of a daily creative project is really neat. I don’t think we have Valentines plans yet! All these giveaways have my brain spinning.
Just a romantic evening with my hubby!
My favorite part is the vow printable! Such a good idea!
i love getting sweet love notes from my husband for valentine’s day!
As long as my man gets me flowers I’m a happy camper :)
Love Love Love these Valentine ideas. My hubby of 25 yrs this year (WOW~!) have never done too much for Valentines Day…but love these ideas ….may have to jazz things up a bit! =)
My first date with my husband!
I love Valentines Day. I have been married to the most amazing husband for 28 years and not only is he romantic on valentines but all year long.
My husband always takes the time to write me a lovely card for Valentine’s Day. I cherish them all. (21 and counting…he’s never missed one)
When my husband and I were dating he made a big dinner for me and set the table all up. It was so sweet:)
New to your page through the giftaway…can’t wait to check it out!
Well, back in the dating days, my now-husband used to spoil me with flowers sent to work and always sent me a Stitch doll (from Lilo & Stitch). Stitch is my all time favorite Character and Wall-E is coming close behind Stitch. Stitch portrays what we all long for, love and family, that’s why I love him UBERLY much!!
My husband and I like to go dancing on Valentine’s Day! Not your typical clubs but something unique like a swing dance night.
Your basket is adorable! Thanks for the opportunity to win! :) My favorite thing about Valentines Day is making Valentines with my kids!
I like to go on trips or out to dinner…an experience as opposed to a “gift”
as cheesy as it may sound, my then boyfriend (now Mr.), bought me You’ve Got Mail and Serendipity on DVD and then we watched them together. He’s a super macho man so chick flicks aren’t this thing. I thought it was very sweet.
I love making valentines for my boys!
kind of cliche – but chocolate and flowers are my favorite v-day gifts!
a pair of heart earrings my mom bought for me!
Hubby usually always goes for the traditional flowers, which I have to admit, I do love. We don’t make a big deal out of V-day, but always try to have some romantic “us” time, even if it’s a simple bath after the kids go to bed!
A poem written by my husband.
I just like spending Valentine’s Day with the ones I love. No need for a gift!
this v’s day we are headed to a winery tour and tasting with another couple. it’s actually their xmas gift that we got them. I’m excited-bread and cheese plate, private tasting of 7 wines, a glass of sangria each. sounds like a good day to me!
Love this blog!
My hubby always writes me a wonderful letter. I love looking back at them through the years. Of course, I love the notes and pictures my kids make me too!
My favorite Valentine’s present was a night dinner and then we stayed at a hotel while my mom had our children. It was a nice relaxing night:)
We are making our own Valentine’s Day this year because I have to work on the 14th, but looking forward to celebrating on a different night with a home cooked meal featuring filet and scallops.
I love homemade valentines gift from my family. They are the best
My favorite valentines is when it’s just the two of us.
I prefer flowers you can plant over the purchased bouquets, so I can enjoy them year after year. My husband now brings me rose bushes or lilies, and that’s my favorite.
love [to give & get] thoughtful, heartwarming gifts – not the usual roses/chocolates that are associated with valentine’s day
We dont really do valentines day. We might go to dinner or something but usually with the kids. Though last year when we got in the truck to leave there was a pink rose for each of us cause the girls are his valentine’s too :)
My favorite valentines gift was from my fiancé our first year together. I thought I wasn’t going to receive anything because money was tight then. I had just finished a long shift at work in retail. And I came home to a huge bouquet of flowers, a simple necklace, and of course my favorite chocolate. He then decided to make is sandwiches since I’m the cook, and turned on one of my favorite movies.
I do not yet have concrete plans for V-day, but I’m excited about getting to celebrate with a new beau. These basket giveaways, and tons of ideas, are fabulous. Thank you.
We don’t do much for Valentine’s Day at our house. I did get a beautiful heart necklace one time
My favorite Valentine’s gifts are ones my family makes for me.
Our first valentines, when we were teens, my husband gave me a huge balloon filled with a stuffed animal/candy and a dozen roses. It was such a great surprise!
I’d love to get the homemade peanut butter cups! Peanut butter and chocolate… the best couple ever!
Back in the day, when my husband I were dating, the very first year, he gave me 1 red rose!!!!! Since then and 30 years of marriage later, I remember the 1 red rose when I was like 15!!!!!!
My Favorite Gift Was A Huge Bouquet Of Flowers, I Love Flowers!
I have such a stinkin bad memory (does that make me awful?!). I am so lucky and blessed to have a man who loves and puts up with and forgives me through EVERYTHING! I love your Vow notes! Would love to fill those out with my sweet husband.
My husband almost always gets me flowers – it’s really the only time of the year I get them.
My favorite gift is anything my kids make me
My husband is not a great gift giver and would rather forget about Valentines day. He brings me my favorite chocolate every year (sea salt dark chocolate caramels) and then eats most of them!
One year my husband was determined to take me out – our children were small and I needed the break! He wasn’t able to get home until late and the only place we could get in to was the Waffle House. Our V. Day date included an overwhelmed cook and waitress who fought most of the time! We still laugh about that one!
My fav gift was my husband! We got married on Valentine’s Day 2003! Red roses everywhere. <3
My favorite is food! My husband cooks me gourmet stuff every year! Your root beer float basket would be perfect with that!
I’d love to make these Oreo valentine cookies. Nom, nom…
My husband is not really big on the holidays. One year I did get a romantic dinner.
I love the card with the truck on it . My kids will love this one.
A Valentine’s ‘scavenger’ hunt around the house to ‘find’ my gift! It was fun and took some time to plan. So much better than just giving me the gift (which I don’t even remember what it was, but I remember trying to find it!).
Being an Army wife just having my husband be available was the best gift.
A stuff teddy bear with a ring in it…
Our anniversary is just days a way from Valentine’s Day, so we do a double celebration on Valentine’s Day. The best gift is a night on the town with just my husband.
My favorite gift was sushi and movie night with my darling. Sushi comes but twice a year. Valentine’s Day and Anniversary!
One year I was given a dozen yellow roses by a boy I hardly knew.
My fav Valentines gift was a night of relaxation without kids!!!!
My favorite gift is hugs from my kids! Thanks for the chance to win!
We don;t do gifts for Valentine’s but my hubby gives great thought to the cards and flowers he gives me!
And, oh, I’ll warm my heart to receive those strawberry heart oreos from my man :))
Last year my non-domestic husband made me and our 4 children a 7 course meal….completely from scratch. He literally spent ALL day in the kitchen trying to follow the recipes, but he did it and it was surprisingly DELICIOUS ;)
Just a nice meal alone!
My fave is very simple – just quality time snuggling/sharing our hearts :))
The best gift I ever got was marrying my husband 10 years ago this Valentine’s day. Our wedding had a very rich red feel, very romantic.
My husband made me a video of pictures of our life set to music.
A pair of really cute socks. I know. A little corny, but I had a major crush on a guy in one of my college classes. We had been talking, but he hadn’t asked me out yet. On Vday he gave me a pair of cute socks because he had noticed that I always wore fun socks. Anyway, we went out on quite a few dates after that. But I will always remember how sweet it was because he noticed that little detail.
The best valentine gift I ever received was a beautiful crystal heart votive holder from my grandmother – she loved Valentine’s Day and never missed an opportunity to share her immense love:) You have so many great ideas – the “Love Bug” is adorable – thanks Mique for always inspiring me to give more!
I’ve never celebrated valentines day as a romantic holiday (yet!) but my mom loves to put little things together for holidays, and her little themed baskets are always so nice and such a good pick me up. love from family is the best kind of love! :)
We don’t do gifts anymore on Valentine’s Day but back when we were dating he got me a bracelet that I just loved :)
We don’t do valentines gifts but one of my favorite dates was enjoying a romantic dinner at Taco Bell! The wait was too long anywhere else and it made for a memorable first (married) valentine’s!
A romantic dinner at my favorite restaurant.
The very first year my husband and I were dating he snuck into my house and left me sweet flowers. They were this small sweet little bundle!

we love a good night away from the kids!!
My favorite Valentine gift was my dear husband cooked a romantic meal and cleaned up. He even had a tablecloth and candles on the table!!
Handmade cards from my Kinder students!!!
Jewelry has always been a favorite gift…thanks for the chance to win this awesome gift basket!
Just a night out without the kids.
i like flowers !::) thats my favorite gift!
My 3 heart diamond necklace that we picked out together years ago!!! :D Thanks for the great giveaway.
A romantic dinner with my hubby!
I’d love to get those strawberry heart Oreos! They look SO yummy! As for me, the best Valentine’s Day gift was my daughter, although she actually came before the 14th!
Oh, strawberry heart oreos do sound good!
Our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple, my husband went to the store and got strawberries and chocolate and made it chocolate covered strawberries. He know how much I love strawberries, so it was a very “sweet” gift.
I have never honestly gotten a Valentines gift other than from my kids. My ex husband didn’t believe in it. My boyfriend and I have been dating since last February (19th), so this is his first Valentines day. We’ll see how it goes! I’d love to get flowers at work!
I love getting candy!
I love candy too…especially chocolate!
fun little basket
thanks for the giveaway
I love Valentines day also. Hubby and I plan to celebrate at home this year
We plan on staying in this year also. My favorite “valentines gift” was finding out i was pregnant in 2012.
Sorry, there was no place to comment, only reply, so here is my comment. I LOVE when my husband brings me See’s candy but has the box custom packed with only my favorites!
I love spending time with my husband and children on Valentine’s day!
It is not letting me leave a comment, only a reply! Sorry! =( Anyway, I am always torn on which is my favorite holiday – Thanksgiving or Valentine’s Day! Every year I get together a little gift bag for my husband & kids & we have a special meal. Then my husband & I usually go out together a few days later. =)
Last year, me and Jason celebrated the day before Valentine’s and the day after, since he had to work on the actual day! So we went to a super nice dinner in DC…then over the weekend went to a comedy show and saw Nick Offerman! It was so much fun and so creative! :) I got us a trip for a couple’s massage…but we didn’t use that until the following month when we both had a day off. :)
My favorite Valentines day gift was my daughter! :) (she was actually a week early arriving on 2/6/2006, but still my fave!)
My husband is not too big on gifts but he shows me in little ways every day how much he loves me. I will often get emails at work just letting me know he is thinking about me. He will cook dinner and do the laundry without me asking him too. He also loves to rub my back…especially when he knows I have had a long day.
Thank you so much for the giveaway!There are so many great things in it!
I’d love to try the Sweetheart Pink Oreos… they look yummy. I hope you don’t pinned but I pinned it to my recipes board: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/267190190366542468/.
My favorite Valentines Day Gift is getting a phone call/skype call from my hubby when he’s deployed… which will be again this year
I love spending time with my husband!
Couldn’t find a place to comment so I had to reply here.
My fiancé is an over the road truck driver so we haven’t spent Valentines Day together in 2 years. Keeping my fingers crossed that he’ll make it home this year!
No place to leave a comment but I would agree on chocolates, especially truffles!
