wherebee Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 So - for those of us who have managed to find a NON deluded scrapper bird, and have a relationship they want to keep going, the annual challenge of Valentines day is coming up. I have the added challenge of being overseas on the day (with her) so have to get something small and transportable. I thought consulting the hivemind of HPC, whilst not sensible, would be interesting. Any ideas? No dildo pictures please. We have enough already.

Deft Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I bought my then girlfriend (now wife) a cuddly toy of the HIV virus for Valentines one year. They do a whole range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikthe20 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I think, by definition, a non-deluded scrapper burd is not going to want to make a big deal of Valentine's or expect big presents. Card, flowers, maybe a meal out (split cost 50-50 of latter, because she loves you too after all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justthisbloke Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Tesco Value Valentine card. I had to print one for Mrs JTB a few years ago. She loved it. I think they actually sell them now! This Valentine's Day, I will cook a curry. And serve it with pink champagne. She'll love that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahBell Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Is that a euphemism? No. Anything would do, a brood box, a few supers. A new floor or two. A few frames. Actually I've had a full years worth of pressies arrived a few weeks ago so I am good for valentines day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wherebee Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 You are kidding aren't you? Valentine's is for unrequited love. Is that what you have? If you are in a relationship, stand firm, this day is not for you. I would like to stand firm, yes. I find a thoughtful gesture on Valentines Day helps me achieve that happy occasion....

Economic Exile Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm female and wouldn't spend anything other than I would normally spend on valentines day. I have no yearning or expectation that any male should acknowledge it either. Valentines day is just another money spinner that has successfully embed itself as a ritual/cultural tradition that requires attention and money to be spent. It's just another day!

Steppenpig Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 no idea what she's like, but some simple self-made, dried pressed flowers, or a picture of Mr. Pin's buttocks (free download) should cover the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Tulip Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 HAM is right - VD (chuckle) is supposed to be about unrequited love and not for lovers. I have told this story on here before. Have an ex - thankfully now another man's problem - for whom I bought chocolates on VD. I had a complaint of why I had not bought roses. Next year I bought a dozen red roses - complaint then about where the chocolates were. Following year I bought a dozen red roses for about a week. Five days I think. She loved it. The week went and came and new roses kept appearing. She was telling her friends that I was continuing to buy roses for her and, of course, then she got angry when the cost of her own rose purchases hit her and, of course, I got the flak. EVERY SINGLE VD morning since I have woken up and, first thing, have breathed a sigh of relief that I am not with her anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CunningPlan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 This may not be true anymore but if you log on to the US interflora site you can send roses for about half the price of going through the UK one. Same is true on mother's day since it is a different day in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
