I’d love a massaging cushion but we probably need some chairs first.
Great ideas, thanks. I like the idea of the meats and cheeses. But i won’t buy them online. I’ll take a trip to the local deli, and do a gourmet hamper.

I’m sort of disappointed, not in you but in North America in general, that every minor holiday has become a “Hallmark holiday” and is therefore worthy of gift giving. I think Doing Something Special on Valentine’s Day, meaning sharing an experience together, is more important that Buying More Stuff. My husband and I exchange 2-3 well-thought-out coupons for experiences and voila… You get TIME together, the most valuable gift of all.

I actually agree with you, Carrie! I doubt we’ll actually exchange much in the way of gifts…I’ll probably buy Bethany something small and give her something more heartfelt.
However, I know for many people that’s not the case. So, I thought it would fun to find some unique online gifts for folks to consider. After all, you can’t go wrong buying your man a table top hockey game! 🙂

Right on Carrie. My wife and I have felt this way about Valentine’s Day for many years. We should be loving each other, showing our love, and building our marriage everyday not on one specific day. We actually get out a week before Valentine’s Day and celebrate, that was last night. It’s a lot of fun to be ahead of the crowd. I like your thinking.

I vote yes on the fine meats and cheeses. I definitely vote yes on the fine meats and cheeses.

Hi Dustin!
Great ideas! While Matt always loves the latest and greatest video game, I do agree that some of the greatest Valentines days we have had together have been when we spend time together and find a way to make it special. The greatest memories are when he or I have taken the time and effort to make the other one feel really, really loved!
Happy Valentines day in advance! 🙂 ~Meg

I’m with Carrie on this one. Why buy into our society’s consumerism? I think we should be encouraging our readers to refrain from consumerism and to show love in non-commercial ways. I vote for giving real massages.

You know I agree with you about the best kinds of gifts, right Kathleen? That said, I guess I don’t take these things quite so seriously. I put together a couple of posts with some unique gift ideas (which certainly aren’t limited to Valentine’s Day) and had fun doing it. I think most would agree they’ve had fun reading them.
I think the community here knows that there are much more meaningful ways to show their love and devotion than commercialism. If they want to write a romantic love letter and then go online to check out some Elk sticks and Beatles music for fun, I’m personally cool with that.
Reply That’s true — you do offer other (freer) ideas for gifts for Valentine’s Day. I know that you would always choose the meaningful gifts first. I’m just not really into gift-buying and thought it would be interesting to hear some thoughts on why NOT to buy gifts.

Mmm. . .Meat and cheese. What guy wouldn’t have a smile on his face with that gift! Maybe a good beer with the meat and cheese, but I don’t want to get greedy! Nice ideas Dustin! If you can create the right combination of a really nice present that is also very thoughtful, you have done well! Always nice to help people with gift ideas.

This is not necessarily a Valentine’s gift, but I have to add another great guy present… a home beer brewing kit! They sell them for less than $50 dollars and come with the ingredients to make your own beer. My sister bought my husband (a microbrew fanatic) one for Christmas and he looked just like a small boy opening a Red Ryder BB gun. You can buy the supplies too to keep on making batches. Anyway my husband is having so much fun playing around with it.
That said, we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day with gifts. I will probably just make a fancy dessert for him and attempt a gourmet-ish dinner while he shows his love by playing with the baby and keeping the toddler out of my hair!
Reply The first batch has been drinkable, not awful, but not fabulous either. Lot’s of room for tinkering around with the recipe though, right? We know lots of other people who have successfully made fabulous beer at home though, so it is possible!

What great gift ideas for him. When I saw this on twitter the other day, I thought it was a list of what to get a woman, and at first I was shocked when I was looking at your list then I realized that it’s because it’s for men and it fits great!
