i dunno, probably cause our 2-year anniversary is coming up and then he doesnt have to do much for that :p i wouldnt let him spend that much though, dont worry.

If you're going on 2 years, you should already know what he likes. Don't tell me things are getting boring already!

No guy really wants that lame-o chick crap!

In all seriousness, I can summarize what to get in one word - MEDIA. CDs, DVDs, video games. Media. Know it. Live it. Love it. And he'll love you in return.

i know what he likes, but he has everything he likes that i can afford. i guess i could buy him a new engine for his car... ;) he has very expensive tastes.

His taste isn't whats important, its what you can taste that counts on Valentines day. ;)

Yep.

Get him a pass to not buy you anything.

well then isnt pretty much every day a 'hallmark profit day'?

anyway, he doesnt have to get me anything. he said we can go to zales and i have a limit of $600 but i think thats just a little overboard :p the ipod would be a good idea but i think he just bought a hard drive for his car so it would be pretty pointless for him.

I haven't read the thread past this point, so I don't know if anyone's commented on this yet.

This guy's a tool who is trying to buy you off with a (relatively) lot of money and little emotional effort.

it would seem that way but actually im very very very picky with jewelry and he knows this. im suprised the ring he picked out was so pretty.

I've told my girlfriend to not get me anything. I'm sure she still will though. Don't know what I'm doing for her yet, I'll figure it out on Feb 12th or so.

LOL! I'm sorry but everytime you talk about this guy he sounds like such a winner.

Cait,

Guys are visual... for a valentine's gift for your guy... wear something that you'd normally consider "too much trouble" like CFM heels.

Metron :D
