So show me your gifts

I cant show you mine cause i have nothing he he as we dont celebrate it anymore
 
Like I said in the other thread, I'm an anti-romantic. So we don't celebrate it, either. I make an effort to buy the kids each a little box of chocolate, but that's about it.
 
DH bought all of us cards which shocked me. Miss Monkey is *in love* with hers as it has Belle on the front and sings a snippet from the theme song when you open it. I will have to get a picture of her with it later; her eyes lighting up and her big smile as she saw that it was 'pretty Belle' and 'pretty Belle' was singing to her.... priceless.

I got a new purse and a pretty little diamond turtle necklace. Not sure why he went with a turtle other than that stella was with him so she might have had something to do with it. He said it was to remind me of the beach. :) I will take pics tomorrow!
 
Divorced here, celebrating singles awareness day. But my daughter was surprised by red roses and a bedroom filled with balloons when she came home from class at college today. She texted me a few photos. I told her she might want to keep this one around!
 
nada. a big fat zero.

BUT DH took DD1 out tonight and will take DD2 out this weekend to celebrate. that is worth its weight in gold.
 
i got a cute little card from the babes. i can't show you my presents until we get back home from cozumel LOL
 
I got roses and a big reese's peanut butter filled heart. I love love love reese pb cups.

And a homemade card from hubby, the boys and the dog. :)
 
Well, DH surprised me once again!! We'd agreed to celebrate next weekend, but when I got home tonight I found a card, and a gift... which was hiding another gift! He got me a box of cards (one I'd admired at the store one time), and inside it he hid a necklace! :beat I took pictures but haven't downloaded them yet. :luvya

I love that, Amy! until I got married, my dad always sent me flowers on Valentine's Day.
 
DH is actually out of the country right now, but he did send me some really pretty tulips. Will take pictures tomorrow when there is light.
 
Dh gave me a hilarious card and some candy and said in the card that he looked for a gift for me but didn't know if I'd like what he would pick so he wants to take me out to lunch/shopping to pick something. Awww. He also gave dd a cute card.

I gave all the kids nice hardback journals for us to write notes back and forth to each other. I thought they'd be kind of disappointed that it wasn't candy or something but OMG they were SO excited about it!! I gave them the gifts at bedtime and they were all bummed they didn't have time to write in them tonight. LOL. I've been wanting to do this forever so I'm really excited!
 
Got a card and a box of candy. I know I will sound ungrateful but after 21 years of being together, you would think that my DH would know by now that I don't eat boxed candy. The card was wonderful! He'll end up eating the candy.

But what really has me a little miffed right now is that he didn't actually give it to me, he just put it on the kitchen counter and 2 hours later asked why I didn't say anything. Gee....maybe if he had told me it was there since he knew I hadn't left the living room. Then....he asked twice what I had in mind for dinner. I said I didn't know and hadn't planned anything. Another hour went by and he asked again. Well, since no one was willing to go in there and start anything, I did. Yep, leftovers!

After everyone ate, I went in the kitchen to wash dishes and clean up and he started a movie. No waiting for me to get done, no helping, nothing. Just sat his butt in his chair and that was it. After everything was cleaned up and all, I went into the bedroom to watch TV. I figured if he isn't going to consider the fact that maybe I wanted to watch a movie together then maybe we don't need to spend time together. I'm feeling all emotional like and want to cry while my head tells me that I'm blowing this all out of proportion. Aughhh!!!! I hate feeling this way and am probably wrong but I just can't help it.
 
DH and I didn't get each other anything but we took DD to Target to pick out stuff for each of us. She got us both candy (DH got Reese's Pieces and I got Lindt Truffles) and then she picked up a funny graphic tee for DH and a blanket for me since I'm always freezing. DD's present from us was a round of mini golf. Our dinner was KFC...lol I know...so romantic. DH and I are having a date night Friday night though since DD has a birthday party to go to (our first one in about 2 years so I'm excited!).
 
my gift... i came home and took a 2-hour nap on the couch. and then DH made dinner for us... it was hot dogs and french fries, but i didn't have to cook, so i was ok with it. :)

Awww Melanie, I wish I could give you a big big hug!! Try not to think about it anymore. Get busy doing something else, and when you look back, this will look so insignificant. I too tend to get all worked up about little things - it's hard not to when you have certain expectations, and it's soooo easy to put together little unrelated things and see a big picture going on! Clearly, your husband had no clue of what you would have liked, and sometimes we just have to spell things out for them.. Which of course takes all the romance out of it... *sigh*
