My boyfriend Brandon and I took a trip to Wilmington, North Carolina for Valentine’s day. It wasn’t that warm out, but we went to the beach, and he had prepared a whole picnic for us. ...See more There was sandwiches, fruit, sweet tea…the works. After eating we laid on our beach towel and soaked up what sun there was and just relaxed. It was really, really wonderful.
I love the Narella Dress by BB Dakota- it’s flirty and fun, and not pink! Even though I love the pink and red colors for Valentine’s day, this dress is more my style.
Hey Kaleigh,
I love it when guys take charge of the whole day – you know plan it ahead of time and get everything right. And seems like Brandon came well prepared!
One of my 1st and favorite Valentine’s Day was a couple years ago. I was opening the door checking for the mail. AND I SAW MY BOYRFIEND! I wasn’t expecting him to come because we’re ...See more in a long distance relationship & he lives 3 hours way. My boyfriend totally surprised me with flowers and a huge bear! He took me out to a wonderful dinner and it was just the perfect day!!
Hey Rai,
Sounds like your boyfriend really did plan that one well. Surprising you in the morning, gifts, taking you to dinner and spending the entire day together – perfect day indeed!
One Valentine’s Day all my friends, my mom, and my then husband decided to send me flowers. My ENTIRE office was covered to the point that it was embarrassing. One of the roses was actually ...See more created from several $20 bills. Like, it was WAY over the top. People kept stopping to ask what the occassion was because it was WAY too much for a regular Vday… lol. It was cool though.
I love love love LOVE the Swoon Spell Dress. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’d wear.
Hey jasmine,
that does sound like a fun way to get embarrassed :) And wow.. a flower from $20 bills – now that’s taking recycling to a whole new level :D
I was dating a guy for almost a year and on our first Valentine’s Day, I wasn’t expecting anything really, but asked if maybe he’d want to do something. He said no because he ...See more didn’t want go get too into Valentine’s Day since it’s so close to my birthday. My birthday is a month later.
Hey Cindy,
now that’s a real lame reason to get out of the whole thing. I would be okay with someone telling me that they don’t think it’s that big a deal, because I’m okay ...See more with that.. but to make up lame excuses – tch tch tch!!
ouch Bethi,
I guess that would be something I wouldn’t want if I was a guy either! Though it could also be a fun three days – oooh specially if it fell over a weekend!
My then bf (whom is not engaged to another person and getting married at the end of March) had somehow convinced my roommate to take me out of the house so he can go into ...See more my bedroom and put rose pedals on the floor and my bed. He bought a teddy bear and put my v-day card in its hand. In addition, he spelled out “I LOVE YOU” with hersey kisses. He took out the “Kisses, Kisses” paper thing and replaced it with strips of paper stating why he loved me.
One of my most cherished valentine day memory is from teenage years. I had been with my boyfriend for 2 months and was excited to spend my first night with him. I even remember what ...See more i wore, it was this turquoise tunique and simple skinny jeans. When i got to his place, we went into his bedroom, there was candle light and music. he gave 2 gifts. A teddy bear and a bracelet with his name and mine. I remember thinking it was so sweet specialy when just a month ago (january 16), on my birthday he got me a whole bunch of jewelry that i absolutely adored, so i wasn’t expecting much for valentines just a quiet time together. Nothing really happened between us that night, we cuddle and kiss, and talked for hours but that was it. I loved it. We ended going out together for 3 and a half years, and broke up a year and half ago. Were really good friends now :))!! so thats great.
Hey Yacine,
That sounds like a really sweet way to spend Valentines – just cuddling and talking for hours on end. I mean at times there’s really not much more that the guy can do ...See more than just be there with you and talk to you and listen to you!
Wow i don’t really like to remember this because i get super mad!!! But here it goes..
Loooong time ago around 4 years ago.. I was going out with this guy for about ...See more 2 years and we were talking on the phone on V-Day, he was telling me that he was gonna watch some movies that he had ordered but i reminded him that it was Valentines day and asked him if he was gonna come to my house and told him that i had something for him.
So he was like “I have something for you too” but i felt him kinda confused..
So he came to my house and i was waiting for him to give me roses, chocolates or even a V-Day card but oh my surprise!!!! He gave me a half open DVD of the Daredevil movie!! WTH!!! (YES! that was one of the movies that he ordered!)
I was so so so mad at him that i didn’t give him the present i had for him (a cologne) I don’t remember what happened next but i do remember that the next day i went to the mall and returned it!
I remember last year’s Valentine’s Day as if it was yesterday. Arriving to my apartment, i saw candles outside my door with a note that said, “follow the light.” The candles led me to the ...See more stairs where there were pictures of him and me – our memories – taped to the walls. Following the candles, I finally reached the peak where I saw a HUGE teddy bear in the middle of the balcony with a table full of chocolates and boxes.
Then i felt a tap from behind and there he was, with a twinkle in his eyes. He said, “3, 2, 1..” and suddenly, out of nowhere, fireworks shot up in the air and a banner floated up with helium balloons saying, “I LOVE YOU!”
I was near tears i think. I smiled so big that i could feel my mouth all the way to my ears and i hugged him. Then, he carried me to the table and gave me the teddy bear..
Then we had wine over the sunset and he also gave me a beautiful silver necklace with our initials engraved in the charm.
The best part was when he carried me down to my door and inside my apartment, there were decorations everywhere. But it gets even better..entering my room, there were rose petals on my bed with candlelights, of course, everywhere.
Now, i’ll leave the rest of this up to your imagination.
Anyway, it was the best day of my life. :)

oh.. and i love this dres: Gold Triage Tube Dress ^^
Nine years ago when my then boyfriend, now husband, tried to impress me with a small box of generic chocolates, a snifter from the grocery store with three roses in it and a small ‘Goofy’ ...See more stuffed doll – We’re now married, he’s still Goofy and he remains just as ‘thrifty’ today as he was back then… So I’d like the Almitra dress in size large to wear on our date for Valentines Day so I can have money left over to buy the dinner..

I love the detail that your ex-bf seems to have gone to, replacing the ‘kisses’ paper with his own small bits!
Valentine’s day is all the more special for the two of you now isn’t it!
Check the website for the dress i choose. Thx

now THAT is definitely a lousy V-day.. I guess some guys really should go to a prep school for relationships!!
