Purple Patrick 638 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I figured this would be a good time to discuss some ideas vday. The gf and I both work(waitress and florist) so we are quite tired by the end of the day and end up usually having a picnic in front of the fireplace and generally don't give a crap about the day. I did find this little obscure gift for her https://bronxzoo.com/roach . You can name a cockroach and get sent a little plush one with a certificate. Way cooler then the name a star bs. this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count Edited January 25, 2017 by Krdshrk Fixed broken URL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bri894 17 Posted January 25, 2017 I usually get something for my daughter for Valentine's Day. I adopted an animal in her name from TurtleBack Zoo this year. There are a bunch to pick from https://www.z2systems.com/np/clients/turtleback/giftstore.jsp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted January 25, 2017 Stopped feeding the retailer fake holiday crap years ago. Go to the grocery store get two containers of strawberries and a bag of semi sweet morsels. Melt them in the microwave dip the chocolate and get a bottle of your favorite adult beverage. Works every time. Simple low cost. After a while you realize what makes it work has nothing to do with what the retailers think. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way cooler then the name a star bs. this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count Patrick: If she is currently or is on her way to becoming a "serious" girl friend, then I would definitely reconsider this gag gift. It could very well be received the wrong way and your attempt at humor will have backfired with some potential unfortunate consequences. Others have posted some very good ideas that probably would be appreciated by her far more than this roach thing.... Whether we like it or not, or buy into the commercialization of the day, (your family's flower/garden/nursery business certainly benefits from it....), women of all ages have come to expect something nice from the man in their lives. Don't spoil it for her, and then subsequently yourself.... Enjoy the day. AVB-AMG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
