juniperb | Your significant other is shopping for a card to commemorate a special occasion. Are you most impressed by a lavish, expensive card with extras like candy or a frugal selection s/he spent time perusing to get the sentiment right? Either way, Happy Valentines Day and may you receive the one to make your heart melt

peregrine | don't matter coz... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOgc-9ThmmQ |
Yin | The thought matters most to me. If you really know me, you'll know what to [not]get me for V-day. |
PixieJane | I have homemade cards hanging where I can see them as they really show the love & care. A great many store bought cards I've received have been put in a drawer and finally in the trash, though there are a few I keep around (either in a drawer or where I can see them), typically either because it was so well chosen or because of like a poem or other sentiment written within. If someone just wanted to throw a few dollars at me out of a Valentine obligation then they'd do better to like buy me a book from a used book store (they could sign it just like a card), it would cost about as much (maybe even less) than a card and I'd look at it more, thinking of whoever got it for me when I did, which would be a lot if I actually liked it (and if I liked it they'd get points for knowing me well enough to know what I liked as that means they were paying attention & cared). |
juniperb | I love home made cards too. As long as it has flowers and sunshine on it, the rest is just icing on my cake ------------------ We need to listen to our own song, and share it with others, but not force it on them.

teasel | I don't have a significant other, but anyone who knows me would probably give me a little something related to an interest. A gift card to a bookstore would be nice, too. (I never get to visit used bookstores here - I don't know where they are.) |
mockingbird | I'm getting a poem and it's the best thing ever. ...and a new audio receiver, but that's because our old one pooped out and I said that it should be my V-Day gift so he wouldn't feel bad about spending the money.

YoursTrulyAlways | I truly wished my expenditure was limited to a card!!! |
aquaguy91 | i never have understood the whole concept of valentines day... so if somebody gets you a gift you dont like it means they dont care about you?or if they do get you a gift you like it means they love you? because my mom always gets me clothes i dont like at christmas, i guess she doesnt love me. lmao |
aquaguy91 | true story..,my sisters ex husband took her on a cruise for valentines day..but he forgot a card.. she flew off the handle. |
mockingbird | But, to answer the question, I'd rather have something made/composed than bought at all. Though, if you're going to buy me something, electronics or a book I've been eyeing are both good bets. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

mirage29 | peregrine... I liked your song. I hope I find someone who truly feels that way about me some day. I have an aquaintance who keeps flipping double messages to me (aquaMoon)- dry emotionally - I hate that 'obligatory' stuff, to tell the truth. Happy Valentine's to everyone |
Maelstrom | Well I dont know about romance....it's pretty dead round my house I recieved a card with two squirells on the front, one saying to the other "My nuts are yours" Sums up my relationship to a tee!! haha!! I blame our earth venus's...... |
