Just wondering if I am a big grinch when it comes to Valentines Day. I get her roses and a card, and we usually do dinner, but I never get her a gift.

Same here man.....
Booze. It facilitates things.
just a card
anything else would almost be weird
it's more about spending time together than material stuff anyway

Hahahaha. Something tells me that you're not married. Commodities like booze are not typically considered gifts when they are given from the (married) man to the woman. Only the other way around. Although, I do have a buddy whose wife is a big wine connoisseur and he often gets her a bottle of something super nice every Christmas for her little makeshift wine cellar.
Also, with three kids, boozing happens almost nightly. My wife usually has a big old glass of white wine in her hands by the time I get home from the office. Bathing three kids is enough to drive anyone to the drink!
Thanks for the responses.
Good to hear that I am not alone.
nahhh i get her flowers and a box of whitmans chocolates with the Snoopy character on it, that's what she likes
she usually gets me some ammunition for my rifle or shotgun and makes me dinner and we watch an action movie while she seduces me
same ol same ol
Married almost 40 years. I give her flowers and booze. She gives me booze and chocolate. We go out to dinner then come home and drink while singing "Let's Get Drunk and Screw". I'll leave them rest to your imagination.

That is awesome. I hope I didn't offend you. Congrats on a great relationship.
A card and flowers keeps me out of the dog house. I f'ing hate this 'holiday' but it makes my life much easier to just buy those 2 items and go on with my life.
Women are shallow.
I wrote my wife a song this year. I'm a mediocre pianist and an abysmal singer but she claims to like enjoy hearing me sing and play.
Married 8 years.
I don't think I have ever given my wife anything for valentine's day.
I also did not get her anything for Mother's day after the birth of our first child--it never crossed my mind-- while I did get something for my own mother. That did not go over well.
I did, however, provide her with spectacular cunnilingus last night for 30 minutes.
So far, so good?

Must not have been that spectacular if it took 30 minutes.

I gave my wife a cherry without a stone. I gave my wife a chicken without a bone.

No, She also thinks Valentines Day is very lame. It's only cool in HS
I buy earrings dingle dangle ear rings for her every chance I get. No matter if it is B-day St Vals or a random Tuesday, what every, dingle dangle ear rings are part of the gift.
We try to have flowers on the living room table every day of the year it makes being home just a bit more special.
Valentines Day doesn't exist in our household. Didn't even realize it was coming up til people started talking about it a few days ago.
I've got no problem with made-up holidays, but Valentine's just doesn't rate. We'll probably get some nice chocolates the following day when they do on sale.
Romantic Dinner here?
Married 19 years. I usually get a card, sometimes flowers. She never gets me a card because I read them and throw them out. I think cards are stupid.
We usually go out for a dinner date the weekend after Valentine's Day, so much easier than trying to go out on the day.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
