I am not sure we are going out tomorrow, we are not living in the same city.
That is why I think it is nice to send him a gift.
Like a card and flower. Not my first choice, but that is the only gift I can find right now.
Epic valentines failure is upcoming. I was told just now that my wife will be working the day tomorrow. "Isn't that great now we can go to dinner!"
No plans. And I really doubt I will get something put together tomorrow. I was planning on being in a customers cabinet in the data center all day physically upgrading his iscsi storage.
and you have to ask this...
if you get a gift you also give a gift , is not about cost is about being nice
need not be something be big or expensive it is the thought that counts
My SO comes from a long line of V-Day haters. His parents don't do anything for each other. His brother and SIL don't do anything for each other. Etc... I LOVE V-Day! I get him something and he never gets me anything. I don't expect or want anything in return.
When you give a gift you should do it because you want to show that person you care, not to receive. If you care about the guy then give him something. If it's too much too soon, then don't!
if this guy gave u this gift on christmas then id say that yeah, u may need to get him a gift too because christmas is more like a gift exchange holiday.
but its Valentines day, and its very common for just the men to buy the women something. if u feel funny and want to get him something anyways, that robe is a nice gift. or just a quiet evening with some desert and champagne.
You know, the whole idea of valentines day makes me little queasy. For one its a madeup hallmark holiday and two most couples I know do exactly the same boring thing. Being a non-conformist, I just dont see myself doing the same thing million of other dudes or couples are doing. Send her flowers to her office and take her out to dinner. Barf. I told my GF I dont celebrate this nonsense, and she gave little resistance but she'll just have to deal with it. I bought some choclate covered strawberries and a good bottle of wine, so we can chill tonight at my pad and listen to some tunes, talk a little, spend some time together. If shes on her best behavior and the mood strikes, she may even get the gift.
Buy him a clip-on tie and make him a CD of stalker songs. JK. I personally like to bake so I'd make him cookies....or maybe I'd make him some chocolate covered strawberries. They are cheap and easy to make and taste just as good as the expensive ones at the store.
Really? Maybe that is true for you. I never expect a gift in return. Kind of takes the fun out of giving the gift if someone has to keep score.
OP, what did he get you? I would say a token gift would be nice...doesn't have to be extravagant.
This ^. Don't feel obligated to give a gift in return. OP, if you're not going to see him today (Valentine's Day), how about sending him an e-card? That would be a sweet way to acknowledge his gift and thank him for it.
Happy Valentine's Day!
