Meadowlark said...: Love these gifts. And they are romantic - if romance means speaking to the one you love in THEIR language.

I bought my husband a thigh-holster and trijicon sights. It's romantic if he comes home from work alive. :); January 31, 2011 at 1:18 PM
Heather Louise said...: I think the most unromantic gift is whatever my husband's most recent computer game obsession is. Giving him one of these usually means that I won't see him for a solid chunk of time. . . at least week, maybe two.; January 31, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Anonymous said...: I found a photographer who does boudoir sessions. Being that this is out of my comfort zone by 10,000 miles, I am hoping this will wow my husband.; January 31, 2011 at 3:01 PM
Unknown said...: I'm a new mommy who recently was given "Danielle Appreciation Day" by my husband. I didn't have to cook, clean, bathe a kiddo or change a diaper all day. Which means the pressure is on to surpass my husband's awesomeness for this Valentine's day. I'm probably going to pass on the unromantic suggestions. Too funny that someone thought that raw meat would be considered a gift at all!; January 31, 2011 at 3:09 PM
LDM said...: I'm taking my husband to the rodeo! Bulls & (probably) blood, what more could any man ask for?!?!; January 31, 2011 at 3:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Bacon is perfectly acceptable as a Valentine's Day gift for women too. Bacon is an equal opportunity meat.; January 31, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Steph at ModernParentsMessyKids.com said...: The ax is hilarious!; January 31, 2011 at 4:44 PM
sarah said...: I thought about making something for my husband and boys for Valentines Day (matching superhero capes) but due to the incident last night where I sewed through my fingernail into my finger with my machine, all they are getting is an ER bill. :(; January 31, 2011 at 7:08 PM
Jaime said...: ouch sarah!! i did the same thing once, while making this booster seat tutorial. hope u feel better soon!; January 31, 2011 at 8:10 PM
Erin said...: You have inspired me to hit up the local butcher for some venison. YUM! My hubby is going to love that for a v-day dinner.; January 31, 2011 at 10:28 PM
sarah said...: Thanks! I'm glad to have someone to commiserate with! :) I kind of feel like I have been initiated now. :; February 1, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Jess said...: i ordered a summer sausage and cheese balls basket from hickory farms today. it will be arriving at my husbands office in 3-10 business days. the total cost was $16 (its their off season... lol)

and yeah, my message may have been a tad off color... sausage... (cheese) balls.... valentine's day... hahahaha oh, good times.

this may be my first successful gift for valentines ever. normally he rolls his eyes and said gift gathers dust. this time, he's gonna laugh!; February 8, 2011 at 12:20 PM
Jacinda said...: see, now I just want summer sausage and cheese balls.; February 8, 2011 at 4:16 PM
