Valentine's Day

I do love Valentines day especially when you first start going out with each other but I do feel as the years go on the novelties wear off?? Agreed lol !!!! I do love a card on valentines day and maybe a wee gift.. But I do not see the whole point of the big build up of the whole day.. Prices for flowers, cards, chocolates and even dinners go up. All us ladies love to be spoiled but don't we always get spoiled every other day anyway ? Who needs a day to tell your loved one how much you love them and buy them gifts?? Personally I get gifts loads and feel I dont need one day for my partner to buy me a gift and tell me how much he loves me. A card is ...  Read the complete review

Let me start with a bit of info: me and my husband are in our early twenties and have been together for nine years this year. We are very happy and love each other loads, but we refuse to be dragged in to the commercial rip-off that is Valentines Day! A major reason for this is that we are desperately trying to pay off our debts, so any uneccesary spending is avoided. Valentines day comes under this category. Why go out and spend £20 on a card that will get thrown away and flowers that will die for no reason at all? We'd much rather pay that £20 off our debts. But the media has got its way, and anyone that doesnt buy a present for Valentines (or Mothers/Fathers Day etc) ...  Read the complete review

Valentines day seems to cause all sorts of controversy amongst people, and there is a great divide between those who love all the mushy stuff, and the other half who believe that you don't need to spend a fortune on valentines day when you should be showing your love for your other half all year round. I personally enjoy valentines day, but I think thats because me and my boyfriend are very much in love and always do little cute things for each other. This means that we just use Valentines day as an excuse to get in some really tasty food and have a really romantic night in. We set a budget of £20 for which to get each other a little present or card, which I ...  Read the complete review

For two Valentine's Days I have been in a relationship, but have been apart from him, mostly because I went gallavanting off skiing, so it was my fault. I love Valentine's Day because it makes people in love so grateful they have someone. This can be in two ways; one, they rant to each other about the pointlessness of Valentine's Day and so get closer, or, two, they celebrate it and so get closer. Either way, it is a good day for them. The people not in love are not so lucky I reckon, as it seems to be human nature to not be happy for someone else that they have a loved one, but rather, to be angry at them and burn pictures of old boyfriends. I do think ...  Read the complete review

Some people may think that valentine's day is a waste of time and is just a gimmick to get you to spend your money on all these love 'things' that come out around this time. Last year was my first year with a boyfriend so I was actually looking forward to it and loved looking around at all the bits and pieces they have in various shops. You don't have to spend a fortune to show that loved one you care about them. This year I got a simple present. I bought a box full of red tissue paper and bough things to go inside. These consisted of a chocolate heart plaque from Thornton's with a personal message on, a bag of gummy lips, some cute kiss tickets, a Me to You ...  Read the complete review
