«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 521 Newer› Newest»My favorite gift ever from my husband of nearly 35 years was actually for Christmas, not Valentine's. (He is not much of a Valentine celebrator...hey, this is the man whose very first gift to me was an iron, for crying out loud!)
Anyway, it was a few years back and it consisted of several cards with sweet sayings and gifts.
1) "You are the light of my life" -- it was a mini flashlight that attached to my keyring.
2) "You bring color to my otherwise dull life" -- box of 64 crayons!
There were 3 or 4 more with bigger gifts attached, but I loved these 2 especially.
This was not a Valentine gift, but the best gift I ever got.
I lost my Mom last July to Breast Cancer. I was going through a very rough time, she was not only my Mom but my best friend, quilting buddy, and my biggest supporter.
My daughter who was 8 at the time came across a contest in the paper. It was an Amazing Mom Contest put on by Aqua Fresh.
She filled out the form and mailed it in without telling me. About 2 months later I got a call telling me I won the contest and was going to be treated to a day at a great spa in Scottsdale AZ.
I could not have needed it more, it was by far the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.
The first Valentine's day that my husband and I were dating, he sent me a dozen long stemmed roses to my work. I was sooo surprised. Then, he presented me with another vase of flowers when he came to visit me that night after driving 3+ hours from school to my house. We are now married (11 yrs on the 20th) and have 3 wonderful children. Couldn't have asked for a better husband than I already have!
I'd been wanting a re-style of my wedding ring for a few years now. This year for Valentine's Day my husband took me shopping and we picked out a new setting for my diamond. I got it early and can't stop staring at it. The best part: it was his idea!
The first Valentine's we were married my husband gave me a collection of Edgar Allen Poe. I felt so loved because he really knows me, not some imaginary, sterotype woman.
Such sweet stories! :) I don't have a particular favorite gift, but I do consider it a gift that my daughters are getting old enough to enjoy the holidays. We had a blast this weekend making glittery hearts to decorate the windows!
During one of the years we lived overseas he took me to Paris for the weekend. But mostly..flowers are the gift of choice it seems.
Love this giveaway!
My best valentine's gift actually came from my mom when I was 12; she took me to get contacts! Yeah, not at all romantic, but not having to wear glasses, oh heaven!
My husband sometimes brings home flowers...but I actually discourage it as they only last such a short while. I'd rather have a gift card to a nursery so I can get something to plant in the spring. But...I have to say that his card, candy, flowers, etc. are always appreciated! It's great to think of a man shopping to pick out gifts.
My best Valentine's gift would be the handmade cards my children made me, along with breakfast, and a wonderful charm bracelet. I am loving that fabric!! I have a couple baby showers this year!! I found my fabric. Thanks for the giveaway.
Since last Valentine's day was the first one I had when I had met someone special, I would have to say that was it. He got me some chocolate and a card. It was so sweet! And I wasn't expecting it at all!

Beautiful line of fabrics - girl chirp rocks! Not a big valentine's day girl here... best gift I've gotten ever... hmm... would have to say the most useful has been a panini grill from williams sonoma... I cook on it just about every day!
this is the cutest fabric ever! My hubby bought me a new camera. He picked it out. A blue one because he knews I love blue. <3
Last year my husband gave me my favorite cake from Bakkers Pasty in SCL, I didn't have my glasses on as I was gobbling it down and almost didn't notice the Open Heart diamond necklace by Jane Seymour. good thing he was there to stop me. Love it and LOVE him!

Any gift from my kids is wonderful, especially the hugs and kisses.
My best valentine's gift was from my husband when we were first dating 20 years ago, he bought me lovely cat brooch, I knew then he was the one.
My husband proposed on Valentine's Day, which was a perfectly wonderful surprise because we never celebrated the holiday, so I definitely wasn't expecting it. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
My parents took me to the symphony for my birthday once, that was the coolest present ever.
Gee Amy what a fantastic giveaway!! But I am still waiting to hear some more on your book... hint, hint. So my favorite gift was this past Dec for our 20th Anniversary. My hubby got me a ring with my birthstone and his, how sweet is that?
I received a beautiful bouquet of multi colored roses about a 2 weeks before Valentine's Day from my SO (significant other)who was out of town at the time. Anyhow a young co-worker (a guy!) sitting next to me was totally impressed and said I think that is the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen, and I had to agree!
I suggested he send his new bride the same thing this year and he laughed. I wish but, those are not in our budget this year, perhaps one day! I went to the florist who had delivered them and asked for a blank card, I went back to work and at the end of the day wrapped the flowers back up and gave them to my co-worker with the empty card and told him to take them home to his wife...with one condition that he not tell her they were mine first. I told him I had already gotten the enjoyment of a surprise and it would be fun to surprise someone else. They were too beautiful not to pay them forward. He was silent and then smiled... cool, ok.
We don't really make a big deal of Valentines day around here. The kids make valentines to give to their classmates and sometimes I make heart-shaped cookies. When I was dating my husband I made him a big huge peanut-butter chocolate chip cookie. I still have that pan. Maybe I'll make one of those for my kids this year...
The best thing I ever received for Valentine's Day was a gorgeous heart-shape diamond necklace from my husband along with a card that made me cry!
The best gift I ever recieved was for my birthday, mother's day and Christmas! My Bernina. I don't think I ever need another gift again. I'm still giddy from that one!
My husband and I had only been dating for three days when Valentine's Day rolled around. I was completely expecting the run-of-the mill flowers and chocolate. Instead, he had a print of one of his favorite painters framed for me. Nine years later, it's still hanging on our wall!
My favorite gift is from my husband. I think it may have been for my birthday though. When I lived in London I had a favorite mug I used for tea. I toted that mug all over Europe and it made it through several moves back in the US. One day the handle broke off my mug and I was so sad. I shelved it and moved on. My husband went to a paint your own pottery place and made me a brand new mug that looks strikingly like my London mug.
Not a big fan of the holiday, but I used to work at a school where every Valentine people could send roses to eachother: pupils and teachers. The money went to charity... I liked that rose very much!
I would say the best Vday gift was my big, fluffy robe that my husband bought me long before we were married. I LOVE to curl up in that robe on a cold day.
My Dad game me a prisim to hang in my window to make rainbows when I was about 5 years old. I LOVED it and still do.
One of the best and sweetest Valentine's gift I ever got was form both my husband and son. My husband wanted to get me some jewelery and let my son who was eight at the time pick out a very cute peridot ring(my birthstone. I treasure it because I can still see their faces when they gave to me.
We do not really celebrate Valentine's day. It is getting more and more popular as a result of TV and moves, but mostly for youngsters.
One of the nicest gift, however, I got for last Xmas for my boyfriend, a white gold tennis bracelet and some matching earrings.
We normally keep Valentines day pretty small, but one of my favorite gifts hubby ever got me was an Elephant and beautiful red blanket for our bed. The reason why I loved it so much was because he really had to put some thought into that gift, and it shows he pays attention to what I like. (I collect elephants, and he knew I was wanting a new blanket for our bed, and paid attention to what I would really like!) I have redecorated since then, so I no longer use that blanket, but I was very proud of him for that special Valentines day gift!
Amy,
I've been following you for quite a while now - and the Fat Qtr Shop so it's great to see them sponsor you.
I think our best gift was me telling my husband he could buy a new motorcycle and him telling me he didn't want to be selfish and spend the money. We finally came to a agreement and bought it for our 16th Anniversary - WhooHoo we just went on our first ride together on our new bike an hour ago.
Oh I love bird fabric - and already had my eye on the Chirp fabric.
Linda in Calf.
When I was a little girl I spied a beautiful broach in my Grandma's jewelry box, EVERYONE knew I fell in love with it....became a family joke, that when my Grandma passed on...I would get the broach....years went by and in 1998my grandma was dying from ovarian cancer. I had come over to her house for a visit...she left the room...next thing I knew she walked up to me, hand clasped around something...I knew what it was, we both started sobing...she told me she wanted me to have it, ironcially I was just looking at it yesterday, it is not worth any money but to me it is priceless and could never be replaced, just as my Grandma was :)
I'd have to say it was last year... hubby upgraded my wedding ring..
The best gift my husband got me, was a surprise trip to Marco Island when the children were younger. My oldest children helped pack my suitcases (without me knowing) and I just thought I was going shopping with my husband for the day. It was a little 3 day gettaway and was such a fun surprise!
Our first valentine's day my hubby flew me over my alma mater to snap a few pictures.
I almost threw up.
My most memorial Valentine's Day gift was when my DH suprised me with a 2 day leave from the Army when we were newlyweds. Somehow he managed to trade duty and wisked me away to a B & B for the weekend.
Hubby and I do not make a big deal out of Valentines because our anniversary is a few weeks before it and we celebrate that. Oftentimes, he will make a very nice dessert for us to enjoy because I do not bake.
My husband was in culinary school when we had our first Valentines day. He was in a decorating class, and decided to make a pentagon shaped box, out of chocolate and decorated it with lacey looking chocolate. Oh man, best gift ever!!!
I don't like cut roses I would rather have a live rose bush that will be planted in my garden and give pleasure for years to come
chocolate and flowers and love. hugs
My most unusual Valentine's Day gift was from my hubby just after we had started dating. He worked away from home during the week, and must have appreciated the food that I would pack for him- because he took his father to the store and together they picked out a large set of cookware as a gift! He was so excited to give them to me, and I will always cherish that gift. Its the thought that counts and he was certainly thinking of me then as he does now!
Thanks so much for the giveaway Amy..love all the colors of the darling fabric!
We don't really do v-day, it's too close to my husband's birthday and it's kind of contrived anyway.
My best gift came last summer, completely out of the blue. My dad gave me a piano. A second hand treasure. I'd wanted a piano a looooong time...
(You're never too old to be Daddy's little girl...)
I love the colors in this line of fabric . . . so cheerful! My little heart shaped diamond ring was the best Valentine's gift that I received from my husband (a couple of years before we got married) - wonder what this year will bring?!?!?! Thanks for the giveaway. - Marlene
The best gift from my husband definitely has to be a heart necklace that he bought me a few years back. It has 4 yellow diamonds (my favorite) around the middle, and then 16 white diamonds around the outside. I only mention that because my birthday is April(4) 16 :) How cool!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Any gift from my Daddy. As a card carryin' southerner, I'm partial to my Daddy. He always managed to find the sweetest cards and best gifts to say "I love you" and make my sister and me feel special! Even at 25 (and married!) I still look for V-Day cards from Daddy.
My favorite Valentine's day gift was a red stone heart paper weight. When I'm a little mad at him he'll show it to me and say I love you. And it works because it stops me from being mad at him. Thanks for the giveaway
We don't do Valentines Day but the best gift my husband gave me was every birthday and christmas when our children were young he would send me off for a days shopping ALONE. I always loved those days.
My husband arranged to take me out for lunch on our anniversary. He left for work in the morning, and then waited in hiding for me to leave the house with our children to take them to my mother-in-law to mind while we went for lunch. He then went back into the house, packed suitcases of clothes, and when he came to pick me up from his mother's house to take me for lunch, he surprised me by driving up to the check-in entrance of the most gorgeous hotel in town, where he'd booked us into the honeymoon suite for the weekend. The valet guy opened the car door for me, asking "checking in Madam?" and I said, "Oh, no, we're just here for lunch". But when I got out of the car, I saw the trunk open and suitcases emerge. I was so moved by what my husband had done, and the effort he'd gone to to set this up. It was such a romantic weekend. (Only thing he'd "forgotten" to pack for me was my underwear!)
The best gift that I even got was from my family. I got a professional back massager that I use all the time and even take to quilt camp to share with others. Its a great help when I am in the middle of a large quilting project. Its the gift that keeps on giving.
I don't have one specific gift, but I always loved the little cards and gifts the boys would make in school! Thank you for the chance to win this delicious fabric!
I got a teddy bear and flowers the week before vday, the first year we were dating. I had had a bad day and so we started celebrating early. Now my husband still goes out of his way to celebrate early. This year I got 2 dozen roses the last week of January to kick the festivities off :) Yay for thoughtful husbands!! I love the neutral!
Anything hand-drawn by my daughter. She's 4 and she gets so excited when she hands me something (this year she cut and colored paper hearts and practiced her writing on them) and tells me that she made them "just for me". I cherish those gifts.
I love it when my husband buys me flowers (which isn't every year) he usually buys tulips or lilies, I think they are so much prettier than roses.
My husband is allergic to flowers so they are rare around here, and I tell myself, it's not a big deal. But one year he surprised me with a huge bouquet of roses. I was grateful for the sacrifice on his part and loved the reaction when other people saw them. :)
My husband and I don't usually exchange gifts on valentines day but one year we went to a local cafe for lunch and he had organised a big bunch of roses to be given to me as we sat on one of their outside tables! The unexpected gifts are the best.
I usually get flowers and chocolates, not very original, but hey, who cares right? My fave present was my new sewing machine, but it was a Christmas gift.
Love the chirp fabrics! so fun and perfect for new baby sewing, hint hint...
My favorite Valentine's Gift was a pair of beautiful gold braclet from my daughter when she was little.
Hubby gave me a gift card for a massage and roses! He is awesome! carolann427@aol.com
one year my husband wrote me little love/thank you notes and left them with a single rose hidden all over the house. As I went through my day I just kept finding them everywhere. In the fridge, on the washing machine...it was very sweet and thoughtful.
Hmmm...best gift. Isn't Valentine's day all about chocolate and jewelery?
My Husband and I don't always celebrate Valentines day, as we run our own business, but he tells me he loves me everyday unconditonally. So you can't beat that!!
Its the little things I cherish. Being surprised with dinner being made for me or a lovely bunch of my favorite Oriental Lillies.
Thanks for the chance to win some great fabric. I love the blue colour way!
The best ever chocolates are See's Nuts and Chews. Give me See's Nuts and Chews and I will follow you anywhere!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Flowers? My husband and I don't really don't celebrate Valentine's Day.
My best gift...let's see...I would say my Bernina sewing machine I got about 7 years ago. Can it really be that long?? heehee!
Thanks for doing this giveaway. I am new to your blog (just this week)...but look forward to reading more about you and sewing :)
Lisa :)
Anymore - the best Valentines Present is time to myself. I know that sounds weird - but I have a 2yr old and a 3yr old... I can't even go to the bathroom by myself anymore...
Oh this one's easy! My best Valentine's Day gift came from God twenty-nine years ago - my oldest Daughter. It was a Valentine's Day that I'll never, ever forget :)
my favorite and only gift was a box of 4 godiva truffles!
My husband bought me comfy pjs one year! I thought it was super sweet!
Some quilt fabric. I loved it because he actually took my quilting obsession seriously
Last year for our 8th wedding anniversary, my DH surprised me with an antique Singer from the late 1920s. It smokes a little when sewing but I love it! :)
My mother gave me a sewing machine when I was in high school. It was the best gift ever.
The best Valentine was an orchid my husband gave me. I didn't realize that an orchid symbolizes love, beauty and strength. It was a very thoughtful gift.
Happy Valentines Day! A couple of years ago I received a pretty set of Ruby earrings.
I made it clear to my husband when we were dating that if he ever got me flowers on VDay I would kill him! It offends my cheapskate ways to pay full price, so best gift is when he remembered and bought me the roses 2 weeks later... not elevated price, but not leftovers...
Hi Amy, Love your blog and those fabrics are so cute! Love bird fabrics....who doesn't love cute little birds?
Oh Amy that Chirp fabric is so gorgeous and would make the cutest quilt for my first soon to be granddaughter!
As for my best ever Valentine received it must have been vacation to FL ten years ago. It was such a great surprise.
When my husband and I were dating, he made me homemade lasagna and had sparkling cider for our first Valentines Day. I was so impressed, I married him ;)
oh Amy...that fabric is awesome! My favorite gift given was a valentine heart satin pillow with a bazillion different stitches...words, flowers, etc...that I made for my husband.
my dh one year surprised me with a quarter yard of every batik from a LQS...and some were half yard cuts. What a gift full of love!
The best gift for Valentine's Day was a dinner and gift shopping from my husband. I got to pick out what I wanted from the jewelry store. The real gift, for me, was the time we spent together.
This year I fixed this problem myself... I'm not a chocolate, flower, or jewelry girl... so I bought myself photoshop and put in on the dresser in our room and told my husband he's giving it to me for Valentine's day!
The best has been the unexpected gift. My favorite a skirt.
Best gift was last year my husband gave me tickets to the NFC Championship Football game where I got to see my favorite team the Cardinals win the championship and go to the Super Bowl. Now if they wouldn't have won... that might not have been the best present but since they did- all was well in my world.
What a great question: I believe the best gift I have ever given was a surprise appearance at my dad's 70th birthday party. My family lives in Germany and I live in the US - with the help of my sister & brother-in-law I showed up as surprise guest: my dad (and mum)was absolutely stunned and had tears in his eyes. It was a very special visit: unreal that nobody had "spilled the beans" of my arrival and the week-long unplanned visit that followed the party was a time we will never forget!
Tickets to Riverdance - loved it! (Can't wait to get the little homemade valentines that I see floating around here this year though.)
A little necklace with a seashell on it that my son made. I love anything handmade! :)
~Kim
Love the green chirp!!
My favorite was a bouquet of balloons delivered to work from my husband. He had hand written love letters in each one. And one of them had a amythest tennis bracelet. "swoon" I love that man!
The best gift was a mother's ring with the birthstones of my 3 kids!
Thank you for the giveaway!

Waking up to find that my then boyfriend, now husband, had decorated my carport in the middle of the night with streamers and hearts galore. It was a wonderful way to start a day, knowing I was loved and adored.
I once received a coupon to plan whatever I wanted for a date night. It really was special!
And I love the funky square fabrics - beautiful!
My husband isn't much of a gift giver... but this year, I went and did a photo shoot for him, and will be giving him a little red book with my pictures in it... I hope he likes it!
I once received a set of scrapbooking markers for valentine's day - a total surprise.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
My sewing machine was one of my best gifts ever!! Thanks for the giveaway! It would be great as I have another grandbaby on the way!
Wow, you have gotten a lot of comments. Those fabric packs are really cute! My hubby gave me a silver engraved jewelry box lined with red velvet for Valentine's one year. He thought it would be to keep my diamond ring inside...but I have not taken it off in 40 years except to go swimming in the ocean.
My husband and I usually don't exchange gifts for Valentine's day, since both of our birthdays are at the end of January. But this year, my husband presented me with a plane ticket to Paris (for the summer) on my birthday, which I guess will cover pretty much every holiday from now until forever because it's the best gift I've ever received!
Ooohhh! I love that fabric!
My favorite Valentine's gift was from my (then)5 year old son who told his dad, "We need to get Mommy jewelry. Take me to the jewelry store." He picked out a gorgeous diamond heart pendant and I've worn it ever since! Of course, dad gets some of the credit, too....=)
Claudia
When I was in high school I received a random delivery of three roses in a glass vase. I didn't have a boyfriend or anything. I found out later that it was a crush of mine who was thinking of me. Awwww! So dreamy!
I got a beautiful pearl necklace from my husband...I love it! And now since I've seen Julie & Julia I'm trying to wear them more often!
Favorite gift would be my sony book reader. I love to read and hubs bought me one for my birthday. I am not too techy and was not sure that I would even like not "holding" a book. I was sooo wrong. LOVE IT!
Thanks~Amy
Oh boy! I was just eyeing the chirp fabrics. I would LOVE to win some! The best Valentine's gift I got was the year my husband sang a love song to me. I love that guy!

When my children were younger, my husband would take them shopping for me at the local quilt shop. Their fabric choices were the best ever gifts.
I love all the chirp fabric. Even the name is charming.
Sorry no blog by me. I'm just a fan.
Every year for Valentine's Day, my darling Hubby give me a box (or 4) of conversation hearts. We used to then run to the stores the day after to buy each other 1/2 price chocolate, but stopped that recently.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! ::crosses fingers::
My husband and I don't really go for the commercial side but he was fishing last year and stopped at a little thrift shop on the way home and found 2 gorgeous green and white crochet doilies and a fantastic book for me to read (it's my other passion)
My favorite Valentines gift is the box of chocolates with the map that my husband gives me every year....I like to know where the caramels are without wasting any!Thanks for the chance to win, you are sweet to host this giveaway!
The best Valentines gift I ever got was one I get this weekend. A weekend getaway - complete with creme brulee and a pedicure, AND a membership to the moda charm pack club!! Rest, dessert and fabric. Sigh. I'm one lucky girl!
My husband and I married on Valentine's Day....he was my favorite gift and will always be in the years that follow!! Dawn
my husband gave me his presence last year on a trip he didn't want to attend, which was meaningful
I love the green & yellows. For me, it's a refreshing change from the usual baby colors. My most memorable valentine's day was when my husband took me out for a nice dinner and I gave him a card with a positive pregnancy test inside and the words "hi daddy" on the card. He was so excited (and surprised) that he told the news to everyone at the tables sitting next to us (complete strangers) and the wait staff brought us a complimentary baked alaska to celebrate!
My favorite thing that I can remember is a 10 lb box of chocolates. It was my favorite, since I cannot eat it anymore and sure do miss that;)
Debbie
My son made me a bookmark with two layers of foam hearts. The hearts say "2003" and "Be Mine"
He's 14 now and still just as sweet and thoughtful!
When I look at him and think
"he's so big!" I automatically correct myself with, "Enjoy this time, he'll never be this small again!"
And I do <3
No particular Valentine's gift stands out but the day after my 28th Birthday I gave Birth to my now 22 year old Daughter! She and her Brother have been my greatest gifts ever!
My Spunky fella bought me my sewing machine as I was using my Mum's 15yr old one before that. He knows how to make me smile!
What a cute fabric range!
Thanks for the give away!

My favorite gift was my first grand child but she was late just like her mother.
I LOVE Valentine's Day & my husband know it! Of course, it doesn't hurt that my bday is the following day. For the longest time my (now) husband would create me a card by drawing or copying the human heart. He would always say that he loved me enough to fill a 4-chambered heart, not the flimsy 2-chambered ones at the store. One year, when we were separated for Valentine's, he ordered, and had shipped to me, a solid chocolate 4-chambered heart. My friend thought he was nuts, but I loved it!
My hubby jam-packed my car full of balloons. They fell out and floated up to the sky when I opened the door!
My best gift came a little before Valentine's Day but has been, and always will be, the best gift I have ever received. My daughter was born, 25 years ago, on February 3rd and when I saw her in the nursery for the first time, they had a heart on her little 'nursery crib' with her name on it. I hadn't even realized how close it was to Valentine's Day but I've thanked God for that gift every day.
It was a "mommy to be" card that my hubby got for me as we waited for my daughter! So special. I keep it in my sock drawer...and read it when he is driving me crazy!
I get my favorite gift every year: a box of chocolates and a date with my husband. I guess I am easy to please. :)
p.s. I love the Chirp line!
The best Valentine's gift ever for me was a dozen chocolate covered strawberries from Lammes Candies in Austin. Yum!
The best gift I've ever received was tuition for college. I got my AAS in Apparel Design, which honed my sewing skills and inspired me to learn new things...like quilting!
When my boyfriend(now husband) was in dental school and working in the lab, he made me a silver ring with 2 hearts on it. I loved that ring and 32 years later I still treasure that and polish it!
I love your site and the chirp fabric line.

One of the best gifts was from my son who made a special card with coupons to redeem when I needed some things done around the house. So sweet since he was only a little guy. Thanks
I have enjoyed watching birds as far back as I can remember, and I especially enjoy watching birds eat at our bird feeders. One of our most entertaining feeders is for the Bluebirds, where the bird enters inside the feeder to eat. Weather had aged our feeder so bad that the bluebird food was getting wet, not a good thing. Dear hubby decided to make a new feeder using the old one as a pattern, Valentine's Day was near, and his gift still proudly feeds our birds today.

One of my boyfriends gave me a miniature rose and a rocking chair because I had told him that those were two of the three things I wanted out of life.
ohhh.. such cute little bundles. We don't really celebrate Valentines day... but the best present I have EVER received was my engagement ring this past Christmas!!!!!!!!
Thanks Amy!!
I love just getting a card on valentines day because I know that my husband probably spent quite a while reading the majority of the cards before picking out the right one.
My DH and I have been married for 36 years....About 8-9 years ago he bought me my own Kodiak 4-Wheeler. We have had some GREAT family times with that!!! I was puzzeled when he first gave it to me, but it has given us many family memories in the mountains and camping!!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Best ever gift was the first gift my husband (then boyfriend) gave me - a string of pearls - he teased me and would not tell me. I thought I could talk him into telling me before Christmas, but he wouldn't even give me a hint. I was thrilled!
I buy my wife jewelry, glass figures and a card each year. This year she is getting a Cricut Expression...
In 1981 I was taking a Biology class in college. My professor talked really fast and, at times, I had a hard time keeping up with my notes. So, in passing one day, I mentioned to my husband that it would be nice to have a small tape recorder so I could tape the lectures while I took notes. On Valentine's Day that year he surprised me with a tape recorder and some chocolates. I was so surprised.
I have always loved things I can use for Valentines Day. I'll take fabric any day over roses!
I got a beautiful necklace one time which was fabulous! Thanks for offering such beautiful fabric.
My favorite gift is my wedding ring! Hands down ! I know is sound rather fairy tale but I LOVE my ring. Dan did a great job of picking it out and it means so much to me. There was a sunday not to long ago that we actually turned around on the way to church to go home. I thought I'd lost it and physicly could not function. Thank God that is was safe. But, totally not anywhere it should have been it is a miracle I have it. God placed it where I found it there is no other explaination. Now I dont where the ring till I can get it fixed so there will be no more panic attacks.
I got a ticket home at a time when I really needed it while I was working in Europe. I don't think anything beats that.
My favourite gift must have been one of the Kosta Boda crystal art pieces I got from husband a few years ago. We have very different tastes in art, so he's stretching his own comfort zone buying me these pieces. The artwork is gorgeous in itself, but the fact that he got it for me makes it even more special.
Hi! Thank you for this great giveaway!These fabrics are so nice! My best Valentine s gift, hum, hard to say...let see with the best gift i received...let say some roses because there was no special occasion, it was just a little surprise to make me happy!
It is a lovely necklace that my mom gave me for xmas. I wear it everyday ^^
Thanks for the chance.
I got some beautiful ear rings but unfortunately I lost one this year. I still some times find myself looking for it whereever I am :-(
The lovliest present my hubbie got for me was a beautiful ring carved from wood. He knows me so well! What a great guy!
s.e.clarke@gmail.com
My favourite valentines my husband decked out the car with pillows and blankets, drove up to a look out and watched DVDs while eating chocolates. So much fun!!
The best gift ever was not for Valentine's Day, but for Christmas. My husband gave me a curio cabinet that I absolutely didn't expect. I used to make decorative eggs and needed a safe place to display them. I love the fabrics in this giveaway.
Janet
My favorite gift was a little heart necklace when I was newly married. I wore that necklace for many years until the chain broke and I lost it :(
Thank you for this give away ...the fabric is so cute!
We are receiving a steady weekly supply of handmade heart valentines from my grandniece (4 years young). Of course, she wants her art displayed:)
Please enter me in your giveaway - chirps are awesome.
My best gift was my proposal - I thought it was going to happen on Valentine's Day for sure! We went out for a nice dinner and then to see Wicked...to my surprise, it didn't happen then! Of course, I was so upset and actually vented my frustration to my now-husband! But 10 days later, to my surprise, we got engaged!
I was Anonymous in the last post...oops!
The best Valentine's gift I ever got was....My new Embroidery Machine a Janome 300E I love it and still have it and use it every day........Hugs everyone and Happy Valentine's Day Lynn:)
When hubby & I were dating he gave
me a gold chain necklace & bracelet. The chain links look like tiny little hearts. Very
wonderful for me!
I am not normally a bling person.. but, I have always wanted a tennis bracelet. My husband must have heard me say it..He surprised me last year with a very beautiful bracelet that I will always cherish!
Valentine's Day 1988 ... 6:09PM ... my daughter, Caitlin was born. She graduates college in May with a Chemical Engineering degree. Need I say more?!!
my husband gets me a massage each year for valentines day. i always looks forward to it so much! thanks for a chance.
I've never been much of a Valentine's Day girl...but I do love the hearts :)
My best gift from my hubby was in his pre-hubby days...he went to Build-a-Bear and made a 'him'...the bear wore a flannel top, jeans, wore glasses & had a hat...it was perfect! Our youngest now 'sleeps with Daddy" at night :)
And as to what should have been the best gift...my oldest - he missed being born on Mother's Day by one day...14 years later & still always a day late :)
Hiya,
The BEST Christmas present: I had lost my diamond in my wedding ring when we were at our timeshare here in Va Bch VA many years back. I still wore my wedding ring anyway trying not to remember the diamond was missing. A few years later it was Christman morning, with my five daughters sitting around we all opened our gifts. But, I noticed suddendly my hubby, Jeff, was not around, as I thought he was in the kitchen getting his coffee. Then here he comes with this gift bag and laid it down in front of me..it was heavy..I opened it up and pulled out a Bonsai tree and a note attached which read "This is your Journey's End Linda, don't you just love the ornament. I looked at the Bonsai tree and then our Chrismas tree back and forth a few times, THEN I saw it,, on a branch of the Bonsai Tree there was a diamond ring!! OMG, how could I miss that,, I looked around at my daughters and saw tears in their eyes they were so awed at what I had finally found, I started crying, hubby teared up and I gave him a hug and he put the ring on my finger while he knelt on the floor on one knee.. THAT was the bestest Christmas EVER~!

The best were the handmade cards my daughter made me....loved them!
My best valentines gift is that every year when I was growing up, my mom would set the table for breakfast with special table linens and always a heart shaped box of chocolates at my place, and my sisters. She always made us feel loved!
My best Valentines day gift ever was when my hubby didnt tell me where we were going and he suprised me and took me to a French Restaurant over an hour away from home. He planned the whole evening. We walked around this little town and he pulled a dozen roses our of the back seat! It was so nice!!
Thanks for doing this giveaway!
My best gift wasn't for Valentines but after the birth of our third child. My husband suprised me with a beautiful birthstone ring.
When I met my husband, his lovely wife of 48 years had passed away and he was a bit lonely. We just fell in love with each other and as he healed we grew closer. On Valentines Day, we had been dating for three months and he had asked earlier what I would like, so I said a diamond necklace, earrings and ring. He said after a lovely dinner, it is time to go shopping, we went to Jared and he let me pick out any earrings I wanted. We were married six months later with my necklace appearing around mothers day and of course my wedding ring. He is such a blessing to me.

My favorite valentine gift was given to me 39 years ago. My husband asked me to marry him and gave me a diamond ring on Valentines Day. We have been happily marrried for 37 years.
Oh my best recived gitf was from my boyfriend, i had been sarching for a cutting mat and a rotary cutter everywhere with no results and one day he came home with a mat a cutter a ruler and cuttr blades.
I was soooooo happy
My husband put NEW TIRES on my car - a total surprise. He STOLE my car while I was at work and then replaced it with NEW TIRES. I thought that was VERY NICE because then I had that extra money to shop!!! Not as romantic as the candlelight picnic on the beach for Valentine's Day!

I have been married for 30 years and my husband gives me a large box of Whitman Sampler chocolates every year. Can't imagine receiving anything else. Well, maybe a new Bernina:)
My husband put a whole trip to NYC together for the two of us. He had all of the details printed out and bound them together with string. Seriously sweet and wonderful! Sarah skubinski@mac.com
My husband bought me a "Abe Lincoln" (beautiful red) rose bush for Valentine's day. We had just moved into our new home and it is still growing today - like our love. We have been married for 30 years! Bonny
Although my husband and I don't usually make a big fuss on Valentines Day, he always seems to come up with something that I may have mentioned earlier that I wanted. But I always get a sweet sentimental card and candy from him every year.
my best valentine gift? I can't say I've ever actually recieved a valentine's gift, 7 years ago, I ended up in our church with a pastor asking me why we wanted to elope- this was my husbands way of preposing..we were married on February 18th, so valentines day gets passed over year now-although that one (in the church) is for sure my favorite, even if I was so shocked at the time I couldn't answer!
Other than that, last year he made me paper flowers that he cut and shaped and glued himself..(for our anniversary.)
I LOVE this line! Hope I can win~
Even tho' I am merely a bug coming out of the woodwork, I cherish a beautiful aquamarine ring given to me by my late husband many years ago on Valentine's Day.
The best gift was when I had an opportunity to give my first handquilted to my daughter and she was very very happy!
My husband (now deceased) used to bring me a beautiful card and a bouquet of flowers every Valentine's Day (for 38 years). Now I realize how very special this Valentine's gift was!!!
I love the fabric!!
What a lovely giveaway! Well, my birthday is Valentine's Day so my gifts that day are part Valentine's gifts and part birthday gifts.
I'd have to say that my favorite was the car my husband bought me for my 30th. Now, not just because it was a car but because of all of the thought that went into it. He researched it like crazy and picked a car that had all of the features hat he knew I'd love in one car. Plus he bought it about two weeks before the actual day and kept it at a friend's house and customized it a little more too. I love that he set it up as a surprise because he never surprises me and I love surprises. So it was mainly the effort that he put into finding me the perfect car than it was the fact that he bought me a car. :)
Hands down are the cards my kids made me when they were little. Wish they would do that now even though they are all grown up! Hopefully my grandchildren will soon continue the tradition.
i would have to say my best ever valentines day present was when my husband now of 14 years proposed to me!! thanks for a chance at some beautiful fabric!
Amy,
THe best gift I received on Balentines Day was 33 years ago. Our youngest son was born on February 11th, we were dismissed from the hospital on Valentines Day!!! Such joy to arrive home with our sweet little boy and be greeted by our 3 year old son. All the hugs and kisses from our oldest to our youngest was the best gift of love.
Hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day.
Hugs, Barb
My most memorable gift was a surprise from my husband this Christmas. We had been saving money (I thought) to fix his truck. On Christmas morning I didn't think anything of the large boxes...I figured he'd bought his truck parts and wrapped them. It was a new machine and sewing table for me. I cried and cried. Even my 4 kids were in on it.
My birthday falls one week before Valentines Day so I always get a combo gift. The first year we were married my husband surprised mew/ a Bernia sewing machine.

One of my earliest Valentine memories is my Dad bringing me a box of 12 wrapped chocolate hearts. I can still picture the box, even though it's been 40 or so years. My Dad has been gone 16 years, but I still think of that long ago Valentine's Day every year.
It's so fun to read some of these great Valentine's Day gifts! My favorite gift is a lovely jewelry box that housed a simple necklace from the first Valentine's Day I celebrated with my husband. He received the box as a gift from someone he worked with on his church mission to South Korea and was told to give it to someone very special.
Wow, I really feel so hopeless to enter a giveaway with a huge amount of participants like this one. Thinking, there is no chance to win it, but I still do enter, crossing my fingers behind the back. :)
My favorite Valentine's present was my first ever nephew who was born on that day 9 years ago this year.
Happy Valentines day and thanks for the giveaway...
Whenever I think of THE most awesome gift - my DMIL comes to mind. When I first started quilting she sent me a $250.00 gift certificate from Keepsake Quilting! I was in 'shock & awe' & shopped online for hours! She is the best MIL ever & we do an annual quilt trek every year. We hit a big show like Houston or Paducah or we just hit the road with bags and credit cards. This year it is going to be a road trip from Houston to Atlanta. If you are a quilt shop in between....we'll be seeing you in the fall.
I got engaged to my husband on Valentines day 4 years ago! Can't imagine ever beating that for an all time favorite gift! thanks.

Thank you for helping me stop and think about your question - the answer - well, there were a couple that are too personal to mention here - blush - yet, the sweetest memory was being told that I was going to be a grandmother for the first time, saved for telling me, on valentine's day. SWEET!
What a fun giveaway - thank you!!!
Easy answer :) My #4 was born two days after V-Day four years ago. Is my baby really 4??!! He is the snuggliest, lovey-est little kid ever and has been a complete joy to our family!!
Best valentines day present was my puppy last year! He's a gift that keeps on giving.
My husband usually seems to be gone on Valentine's day but usually remembers to get flowers. This Valentine's Day will be our first with our son, the best gift he's given me yet.
The best gift my husband has given me is the constant love and caring he shows me everyday! We have been married (2nd time for both of us), 12 years in April, and I would not even think of trading him for a new model! LOL! And on Valentines Day, he always gives me chocolates and a very heartfelt, beautiful card. Gotta LOVE that man!
And, I love the neutral birds!
My husband and I became engaged on Valentines Day!
Thanks,

Material gifts from my Joe aren't so important (he's my gift!) so I will go for the obvious and say my first real sewing machine, from Santa at age ~11, was my best gift.
Thanks for the chance to win your cute fabric!
great giveaway! thanks for doing this!
my best gift ever was just going out with my husbend to a great resturant, eating good meat and drinking the best wine.
it was one of the best moments in my life
One of my favorite gifts was from my husband - Cookie Monster slippers! I love the way that he encourages the kid still in me. :)
Since my DH hates valentines...grin....probably a bag of M&Ms that he decided to get me....LOL. We've been married 44 years just having him here is enough.

The best Valentine Day gift was from my boyfriend. We hadn't been dating very long when he asked out to dinner on Valentine Day. That year Valentine Day landed on my woman's league bowling night so I declined the offer. After thinking about for a day or two I called him up and asked if the dinner offer was still good. I decided I could bowl the other 51 weeks out of the year. Thinking about it now, what if he had made other plans.... but he said yes and we went to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. This year marks our 20th year anniversary of going to dinner at that same restaurant. Yes, I married him. Last year after the chips and salsa had been served, the waiter brought me the biggest bouquet of flowers from my husband to celebrate our 19th Valentine Day dinner date.
my husband asked me to marry him on Valentine's Day 1978
I always get a great bunch of roses and I suspect they are from my husband - actually I am sure they are, although he always wants to believe me otherwise (some mysterious friend??).....
Thank you for the giveaway - I love birds.
My man gave me a heart-shaped abalone shell he found on a Big Sur beach. It is beautiful and so is he!
the only Valentines Day gift I remember recieving specifically then was a mini rose bush sent to me from my dad my Freshman year of College, that was sweet.
Dad also wins the prize for hands down best gift. Lenox Crystal Nativity Set two years in a row, year one was the three, then the second year I got the wise men. I hope I can get more someday too!
The best gift I ever git from my hubby was my sewing machine. It was really more than we could afford, but he made it happen! He's awesome!
