V-day help.

My girlfriend and I have been together for most of the last 2.5 years, and I have no idea what to get her for V-day. All I have for her at this point is a pair of noise cancelling headphones, so clearly I need a lot of help and need it fast.

    Re: V-day help.

    Seriously, flowers is where it's at for valentine's day. Don't get her red roses, cause that's like you didn't put any thought into it. Does she have a favorite type of flower? If so, get her that. If not, go with something that's nice but gives her the impression that you thought about it. Different flower, different colors, self-made bouquet, that sort of thing. Don't get her a teddy bear or those pre-made chocolate boxes, either, that's just gimicky and lame. Make her know that you thought about it personally. That's what it's all about.

    Bad move. Now every opponent of this "holiday" are going to come in here and rant about how much the day sucks. I haven't an opinion one way or the other.

    Give it to her tomorrow. Surprise her with an early Valentine's day, she'll like that.

    It's not about what it is, it's about the thought that's getting put into it.

    Haha I'm just fuckin with you. To be honest, I'd just go with some flowers. Flowers + something you know she wants should be good for Valentines Day.

    Honestly guys flowers are lame.... and if you've been dating for 2.5 years you shouldn't need to shower her with stuff.

    Seems like the headphones are enough just do that, take her out to dinner and get a card and maybe some candy or something.

    Re: V-day help.

    Does she like fruit? Get her one of those fruit things that are made to look like flower bouquets. I've always wanted one of those.

    EDIT: Or you can get me one, in case my boyfriend doesn't piimb, and then you can piimb.

    You're gonna have to pay a premium to get it to her since you waited till the last minute, but there's nothing that gets a girl wet quite like having flowers sent to her work.

    I'm making dinner from scratch. The flowers are just a nice little Wednesday surprise. And besides, flowers are classic -- You can't go wrong with flowers, they're nice and pretty and it's just a little thing that goes a long way to remind the girl that you're thinking about her.

    I agree, but depending on a flower delivery guy to get her flowers where I need them when I need them is just stupid. On Friday and Saturday she has class, her internship, and works 2 jobs.

    That sounds perfect! I guess I've just never been a big fan of flowers (I killed all my outdoor plants last summer )....

    I'm taking her out to dinner and a movie, and I sent her flowers already. It's our 3rd anniversary too but we both have no money so we're keeping it low key. If it's only Valentines Day she should be more than thrilled with the headphones and some flowers or something.

    I got that covered, so I guess I'm good. We're at that weird place where we don't want to get engaged until she after she graduates, but I've spoiled the shit out of her to the point where there is no romantic gift left to get her.
