Is she at her grandmother's house? Decorating looks a little dated....

How old is she? Looks pretty young.

Oh, and to the OP

Get her something that will last, like the dvd of the first movie you saw together, or make her the first meal you guys ate together, or even something useful like a victoria's secret gift certificate. Guess the bras there are the sh@t.

I vote for, save your money.

Something that's lovely to look at,sweet smelling and reminds you of the promise of spring soon coming is never a "waste of money"
You just described me after taking a shower.

Pooh

Good call, but I mean a personalized one... something I can make it personal with? Ah. What else... back to the roses. I guess everyone is traditional, one dozen long stem?

my husband for our first vday together gave me 13 long stem roses (the standard dozen in a light pink and then 1 red rose in the center (to mean love). I thought that was a good idea :)

Believe me, this is a surefire way to get laid on Valentines Day. It's never failed me yet. My GF loved the ones I got her last VT Day, and one for her birthday and Christmas.

is it just me or those bears really insanely expensive? is there anything especially special about them?
