I realize that Valentine's day is just once a year and love can be shown at any time...but come on now! It's marked out for a reason, it's the one time a year that all the gifts are all laid out for you, it's a no brainer! Hell, they are even on sale! Ease of purchase, lower cost, happiness all around! Yes, flowers die. But they look so pretty for a few days. And candy is not healthy, but a little treat is nice. 
I did get flowers last year. It was 3 roses in a very pretty ceramic pot. I still have them, dried of course. It was a start! He has great potential to be a romantic I tell ya! He has a heart as big as the world and a soft side he doesn't show often. Somehow he got the idea that I didn't like flowers as gifts. Whoa!!!! I happen to LOVE flowers! I just don't like them when given as make up gifts. My ex did that, and I hated it! He could be a total asshole and think a dozen roses would make him more tolerable, I DON'T THINK SO. Flowers for special occasions are fabulous! They lift a lady's spirit and excitement! It makes them feel special to receive such a thoughtful gift. Especially when the color is carefully chosen. Sometimes you have to look beyond red guys!
OK, I think I am starting to ramble here so I better just sum it up. We don't have to have a gift on Valentine's Day, but it is nice! Flowers on occasion are sweet, candy is always good. Jewelry can be great too, and gives you a chance to put a lot of thought into it! This however is not a great idea, very heartfelt and sweet, but not ideal...Just saying! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
