Guys just don't seem to get it?
No matter how long they've been with you, they still don't get it
Although, to be fair, I think some have a better idea of good potential gifts than others (sort of a rare phenomenon).

This year I requested a single rose and no candy/chocolates because it's sad when flowers die after a short time and some don't dry well (look pale and icky). I have a tough time finishing a box of chocolates. I do love cards though. I'm always happy to get cards.

So jennyhicks, which bracelet did you buy your BF?

This is why carnations are good. They are cheap and they live FOREVER inside a vase. They aren't my most favorite of flowers though. I really do love my roses. I just wish they wouldn't wilt so quickly.

My DH asked me how much he could spend on Valentine's day. I was thinking, wow, he's really with it here! And then I realized he was looking for gifts for "us." If you know what I mean.

Ah, well.

Hi BRS, I agree that carnations can last fairly long. I love the two-toned ones/hybrids. I bought some to brighten up my office once and they sure looked great in a tall Peruvian vase . Roses are my favorite too. Especially Fire & Ice, Esperanza, Malibu... Lagerfelds are really beautifully scented and a gorgeous purple .

This is my contribution to this thread... Chocolates... I haven't tried MarieBelle yet but Vosges is really exotic and yummy. They have a very special truffle I think called ?Ganache that's available only in August =(. I like that one the best too.

We have a couple of Mister Lincolns behind our house. OMG! I couldn't believe how big the roses were the first time I saw them bloom.
