Paul, A personalised hamper from you-know-who, with a selection of personally chosen gifts would be an unusual present. Just contact the supplier and discuss contents and terms. CB >|<

Pretend about the fire then Paul and just have the picnic. And I like Bec and Zoe's suggestions even if they do require the sick bucket! Even more sick making - hubby used to put messages for me in the Daily Mail. Daisy

*breathes huge sigh of relief...* Zoe - Thought you'd gone over to the dark side for a moment then! x

pffft - never Bec but we're always brainstorming these kind of ideas for gift for my mates balloon/party shop

You could do a crash course in reflexology and give her a lovely foot massage with lots of lovely products ! I do think such a course should be compulsory for all men! And of course champers and chocolate and champagne chocolates and erm more chocolate! Kaz :o)

Zoe - You've gone all romantic!?!?! xx

Paul does she like gingerbread? One year I made gingerbread hearts and iced them for hubby, he thought it was fab! Didn't cost much financially but he appreciated the trouble I had gone to! This year we're going to Rome! Julie xxx

Paul, whatever you decide to buy for Sharon.... don't forget to tell her that you love her.

do her a 'basket full of all our love' buy a basket/fancy box and fill it with lots of different items of signicance each with a little tage telling her why you bought them e.g. 'your song' with a little lbael saying 'I love the way this song reminds me of...' a box of chocolates with a tag saying ' I love you more than you love chocolate' other thing sto put in your favurite photo of you two together framed a copy of her fave film/the first film you saw together I'll think of more.....

Paul - Don't worry I'm not going all soppy on you, those were things my Step-dad has done for my Mum.... *vomits*

PMSL... all 'lovely' suggestions, thank you.

*sighs* Ok.... Write her a poem Make a mixed CD of songs that remind you of her Get one of your weddings pictures framed Make her a card Leave Post-It notes all around the house telling her how much you love her *feels queasy*

yes Bec. thats the idea. hence the thread...

*blows raspberry at Paul* I agree with Daisy. Why not try something different? Surprise Sharon... xx

Daisy, Thank you for a sensible reply :o) It really shouldn't all be about big presents should it ? I hope Sharon would agree that I'm not exactly a cheapskate, I just thought it would be nice to do something small and personal rather than chuck money at the problem so to speak. Now, just need to buy a house with a proper fireplace in the next 2 weeks... lol Paul x

Paul - totally useless friend here and you'll probably think I'm an imposter when I tell you there's no need to spend money on grand gestures. The only thing I can come up with is a champagne picnic in front of a log fire. It's too cold to have it outside unless you have a parrafin lamp? Forget the flowers, they're too overpriced and overblown (have a friend who's a florist and she tells us not to bother!!!). Oh dear, I sound too old for this Valentine stuff don't I? Really I'm not! Daisy

ooo thats a good point, I wonder if United are playing ? lol

Paul tell her you still love her and prove it!!! the gift will be an extra reminder. *popping off to watch ideal world on digital to see all the lovely giftes I want for valentines and never get*

:o)

wooohoooo Paul's getting his knickers in a twist !! lol
