Valentine's Day!

[jmoseley07]

Hey all, just curious.
Do any of you ladies plan anything for your partners for Valentine's Day?
I mean by taking them away, and what do you tend to buy for them?

This is our second valentines together, last year he cooked dinner for me and made it very romantic but I would like to treat him this year, I can't cook to save my life so I can't do that! [emoji85]

Even if you have any ideas on gifts would be great!

I'm single. But, I've never liked Valentine's Day.

In my opinion you should show each other appreciation and love every (or most days). And not get swept into the hype of a commercialised 'holiday'.

Surely the same then should also be true of Mothers and Fathers Day?!
When you're in a relationship life gets in the way; its not that you don't love them or show appreciation but even when I was single I like the idea that there is a day that reminds you to take some time out with your loved one! My partner and I haven't been able to spend a single Valentines Day together as we've been working in different countries since we started going out, so this year, even though we're both in London and living together, we're using it a "time out" day, to spend just us two. The romantic in me is hoping he'll plan something special, but we can't afford to get engaged or do anything too fancy and expensive, but just him going to the effort to arrange something means so much.

When I was single, my single friends and I used it to our advantage too, and would always have a night out together! x

Tbh. I agree. I don't see what the big hype is. I'm not a a mother so that might be why.

We don't usually do anything for Father's Day. We might have a roast. But only because it's Sunday.

I certainly don't use Valentines Day as the ONLY day to show my appreciation for my partner and the same viceversa but it's a day that people recognise as being an appreciation day and if my partner doesn't do anything to make me feel special on that particular day I do feel miffed knowing that 'EVERYONE' else is getting spoilt... I am a bit of a brat though!!

Same goes with mother's day. My little boy likes to spoil me so I would expect my partner to do what he can in helping him (take him to the shops, make a gift, breakfast etc) just the same as I encourage him to spoil him on father's day!!

If anyone does thE whole special day thing great - if not that's great too

I don't agree with valentines day as stated above, it's just hype to make people spend unnecessary cash..
Why have something to dictate to you when you have to show love to your partner. I'm quite capable of doing that myself on days I choose to escape the ratrace of life

Same as Mothers and Father's day, I'm a mum and have raised my son to appreciate those around him all through the year not just one day. We don't have 1 set day to show our kids we love them so why should they.

Birthdays and anniversaries yes. You celebrate your own day that's special to you.

Just my opinion no offence to anyone

We don't bother we've been together 11 years and never have bothered , I'm not the kind of girl who would love a teddy holding a heart lol x

I'm really hoping my dog gets me something good this year.... In all seriousness I think it's up to the people involved, some couples love it others ignore it. If we get more clients booking treatments in preparation or sell more gift vouchers then it can be a good thing! X
