«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 521 of 521 Newer› Newest»The best gift would be the cards I get each year. He knows how to pick em!
My husband and I have a tradition of having a cooking date each Valentines Day. Our favorite was John Grisham's recipe for catfish lafitte that we made a few years ago the first Valentines Day in our first house.
My favorite gift for Valentine's Day is going out to dinner with my husband for Spaghetti. Don't need flowers or jewelry, just going out on a date with my hubby is a perfect gift.
we don't really do gifts for valentine's day, but my first mother's day gift was special. It was a difficult day, just weeks after the loss of our month-old baby girl. My husband had a precious picture of her and I blown up and framed with the words, "Mommies are Forever" on it. It made me feel lots better and still holds a special place in my heart.
Those fabrics are so incredibly cute! My favorite Valentine was one I gave to my hubby 2 years ago - a jar of 200 love notes. It was fun to make and fun to give and a nice reminder of all the big & little reasons I love him.
I know how this will sound, but my favorite Valentine's present was a dead tulip and a bag of Fritos from my soon-to-be fiance. (I did get an engagement ring a few days later). He was not so creative in the gift-giving department back then, but he's gotten better over the last 15 years. You can imagine how much I love reminding him of that gift from time to time. We both get a good laugh out of it!
hmm, well, the gift of a sewing table and new machine! (Was for Christmas/Birthday combined, though.)
We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day.
hmm, well, the gift of a sewing table and new machine! (Was for Christmas/Birthday combined, though.)
We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day.
For our first Valentine's Day when we were dating, my husband gave me a pretty gold heart on a chain....21 years later, it's still my favorite necklace!
Down it the Southern Hemiphere it is summer, So this day my husband and I aways spend it at the beach followed by a sand picnic with fresh bread rolls, advocardo and prawns. It started twenty years ago just with us, then our puppy's and now with our four precious children, more about the time together for us.
I get the best Valentine's gifts every year. My hubby and I write letters to one another and they are the sweetest. You know life gets so busy and we forget to say what we really feel every day, so every Valentines Day I am reminded how much he means to me and how much I mean to him. We are very lucky, we have been together for ten wonderful years.
the honey isn't a great buyer....so my mom used to get us underwear for valentines day when i was young :) kind of funny.
My husband gave me a silver ring on the 29 days we met,
Inside the ring, engraved 4 letters GOWM, I asked him what does it means?
He reply: Grow Old with Me!!
We got marry on that year. The BEST gift I ever.
My Grandad always gave me a beautiful heart shaped box of candy. As a child it made me feel so grown up. As an adult it made me feel loved. I received my last beautiful box of candy from my Grandad in 1983, I was 28. I guess that was the best one.
We were married 5/31/03 & for Valentine's Day that year, I went out to my car & there were 2 Vermont teddy bears - a bride & a groom. :)
a lovely bouguet of painted coffee filter flowers from my 3 year old last year....he was so proud :)
such beautiful fabric!! Red roses has to be the best Valentine's day gift, they always score the points..
The best valentines gift I ever received was when my Mom was sick and I was going to pick her up from the hospital and stay with her for a couple days. My hubby had hid a new jewelry armore in the back of the vehicle. Plus he also had a bag of my favorite candy (Twizzlers) and a can of SPAM (my favorite). The best part was he took so much slack from the checkout girl (he also works same place)but just stood there and kept smiling telling her "I know my wife she will love it". And I did. (I would have been on cloud 9 with just the twizzlers and the spam)
I remember when my husband was still my boyfriend, and he was in Wisconsin, and I was in Toronto, CA. Both of us are students, and we don't have much money to buy anything for each other. However, I got a heart shape candy bracelet from him. At that time, even though it's not a value present, I still remember how touching I was at the moment I received.
Valentine's Day 1986 - We had only one car. I had a seven day a week early morning newspaper delivery route from 4:30am to 6am. I also babysat children in our home from 6:30am until 8pm Monday through Friday along with caring for our 11 month old daughter everyday. My husband's job, restaurant management, kept him away from home six days a week from noon until midnight or later. Some mornings my husband would be going to bed as I was waking up to deliver newspapers. On this particular Valentine's Day, I thought that was the case until I really focused on the bedside clock and realized I had slept way too long! He pulled me back into bed, kissed me and said, "Don't worry. I delivered the papers. Happy Valentine's Day!" And that is one of the reasons our partnership has survived more than 25 years!

Hello all! I have been married for 20 years ad my DH gives me the number of years in red roses with a lovely card. Last year they came with my embroidery module!!
Have a great day and thank you for the give away, this patterns are so cut!
Dean got me the steam vac I've been hinting at for months now. I couldn't be happier :) Love that darling fabric.
roses, just live red roses!
The first year we were dating my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful card, wonderful flowers and a tryp to Rom!! It was soooo romantic!
They lock my husband out of jewlery stores, I swear. I have him though and that's what counts!!
SO and I usually don't celebrate valentines day too much. But, 2 years ago, he bought me a paper shredder so I could have cheaper bedding for my hammie lol!
It was great!!! I can't wait to see if he'll get me anything this year.

Best Valentine's giftie? My pretty in Red Dell Laptop Computer! Who needs chocolates lol? Red for love and laptop, well so I don't hog our family's PC!
Thanks for the great giveaway! Looks like LOTS of people have entered!!! My favorite Valentine's gift and memory happens every year because my dad always sends me a box of chocolate. It's just a little reminder that I'm still his "little girl" no matter how old I am. Best wishes to you!
Since my husband is military I would have to say any Vday he is home. But the best present would be a beautiful beaded bracelet he purchased from a lady that made them. I had pointed it out to him when we stopped to look at them and he went back and got it! Lucky me to have a wonderful husband. A Calloway callowayamanda@hotmail.com
I remember when we were first married - my husband gave me something heart shaped every Valentine's Day.
13 years ago on February 13th I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. The following day, Valentine's Day, we brought her home from the hospital. She's my greatest Valentine's gift.
Valentine's is fairly new (and way plasticky) here in Portugal (is this open internationally? if not, then please skip over me), so my best gift is from my mom, who lived in the States with me, and is fond of this holiday (and most others): a Meyer lemon tree, my favorite, the year I was really depressed and tired.
Best I've given will be this year, a doll I'm finishing for the baby.
Just being with the ones you love is the greatest gift of all!
In 20 years my husband has only once given me a Valentine's Day present and that was because my Dad reminded him.
It was lovely arrangement of dark blue iris that he'd insisted the florist made up specially.
The best Valentine's gift I've ever received was from my husband while we were dating. It was our first Valentine's together and I had just come back from a week with 200 junior high kids skiing and camp food. He picked me up, made me my favorite dinner and presented me with my gift, a book. The book featured the both of us as the main characters. It was a fictional story that used our characteristic and physical attributes to describe the characters. It was the funniest thing I've ever read.
- Jen
I would have to say that this Valentine's Day gift will be on the top of my "most special" list.
My husband ordered me a silver necklace engraved with "My hands are almost as full as my heart" with the names of our four beautiful grandchildren in a circle around the heart.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

My husband and I got married on February 15th - eight years ago. That is probably the best Valentine's gift I have ever received.
For our first Valentine's Day, my husband sent me 14 valentines.
My hubby gave me a glass etching which was made from a picture of our 3 kids - it always makes me cry to see it!
My wonderful husband surprised me with a Bernina 730.....I love love love to sew.
What a great giveaway! My best gift would have to be a dragonfly pendant my dh gave me when we first got married. It's so sweet and simple - I just love it! Have a great weekend!
Hi Amy ..what lovely fabric.
My best valentine gift is ..do not laugh...my husband "Hans". He is so sweet my internet girl friends when they are coming over for a weekend for sewing. And there all staying at our house over 2 nights and more. And we are talking about 9-12 noisy, laughing girls all day long and all over the house.
what more gift do we crafty girls need :-)
I think this year is going to be my favorite! My husband just told me to order the new quilting table I have been drooling over!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Our first Valentine's Day as a married couple - I was in grad school and we didn't have a ton of extra $$ - we had a picnic on the living room floor and played a board game in our jammies - it was lovely!!
When I started dating my husband, my best friend sent me a luscious red satin gown. She knew I was meeting my "soon to be" hubby for Valentines in Marrietta, GA. When he saw me in the gown his mouth fell open. But when he handed me a little box all wrapped in red paper, my mouth was the one that dropped. Inside was a beautiful diamond necklace. It was the very first diamond I had ever been given. Of course I cried like a baby.
my favorite gift was our first Christmas. I got appliances...wow. But inside my pair of sneakers was a little box with my first pair of diamond earings... appliances were ok after that...
We don't really do Valentines Day gifts ... usually we have a special dinner with wine, chocolate and maybe some flowers. It's about being together and in love right?
This year we're going to a medal ceremony for the Olympics - yay Canada!
It's my Dad's Birthday and every year when I was younger her would get me a heart shaped box of candy!! I remember those days. This Sunday we will be celebrating his 75th Birthday!!!
I love popcorn so one year my husband gave me an air popper, a bag of kernals and beneath that was a claddagh ring that I had wanted. I thought it was very romantic that he remembered I wanted the popcorn maker and the ring. He also gave my daughter a teddy bear and candy
Hands down it has to be the little heart shaped rock he found whilst we walked along the beach. So cute.
When the new Westalee quilting rulers came out they were featured on the New Inventors on ABC television. My husband, unbenowns to me, travelled across town to a quilting shop and bought me one for my birthday. Not the most romantic gift but the first time I received some recognition of a very important past-time in my life.
my beloved proposed to me on a mile long pier at midnight so it was very dark,I was not expecting it-wejust had a lovely dinner & it was getting late.We were at the Lake & I always walk out along the pier.My beloved has some `issues'(heights,lights,..)the piers narrow & have no railings towards the ends -it's late,dark, waves crashings, no lighting,he is trying to propose & has this package in his hand that I am not aware of:soft pink satin gloved `hands' holding a satin pinker heart. with what I thought was a stitched ring. I toss it down to hug & kiss him as he cringes in shock, as waves crash over nearly taking it with, he falls to the cement to claim it...it is a diamond engagement ring he adorably put on it... (why didn't he do it over dinner with champange in a warm room?) WEll this I will never forget.
I am a teacher. The best Valentine's gift ever was an invitation from a Kindergartner to his classroom Valentine's Party. It was a family party and his mom wasn't able to come. I think about that little guy every year around this time and wonder what he's doing now!
Adorable fabrics - love them!! My fav Valentine gift is the gift of knowing my husband for 44 years and being married for 42. And they said it wouldn't last! :)
My husband doesn't believe in Valentines Day - reckons he tells me he loves me every day (which is true) so there's no need for a designated day. But the best present he ever gave me was a brand new sewing machine last year when I first started quilting. I love it and all that I can create with it.
I recieved a digital camera when they were first coming out. I wanted one SO bad but had no idea what to get. I loved that he figured out what I needed and took the brain strain off of me!
My husband gave me a book that he writes love letters in and gives it to me every holiday. I keep it on my shelf so I can read it now and then. It disappeared the other day so I am anticipating a Valentine's Day love letter.
When I was an aide in a kindergarten class, the children made up a book with pictures telling why they loved me.
Best Valentine's Gift - silk pjs from my hubby!

One year my husband and I decided not to buy gifts because we were doing renovations on the house. For Valentines we were adding shutters. He called me on his way home and said he was bringing my Valentine gift and it was green. I knew he was picking up the shutters and that they were green. Well he came home with an emerald ring!! I was very surprised.
my daddy used to give me little Whitman Samplers - made me feel SO special!
The best present I ever got was my senior yearbook from high school - we had moved away before the books were published and my mom had to spend a lot of time on the phone with the school secretary tracking one down. I still get warm and fuzzy when I think about it. Go Mom.
The best Gift I recieved for Valentines Day was from my Husband and my children. Being short of funds, My husband arranged for the kids to place hand prints on a large canvas with his and there was a space for mine, these were joined by hearts. I treasure it and it takes pride of place in my bedroom.
My mom got married on Valentine's day about 9 years ago. It's really amazing to see your parents fall in love, and to experience a part of their life that you don't normally get to see.
my husband and I don't do valentines day but he gives me occasional suprise gifts for facials/massages/manicures. I love the suprise factor.
I went to a gift shop that was going out of town and picked up a few things, had my husband meet me there and showed him a necklace. It was a Brighton and had hearts all over it. He said it was gaudy and I didn't think anymore about it, until I opened it on Valentine's day! I love that "gaudy" necklace!
A heart-shaped necklace encrusted with diamonds!
My hubby and I don't do a lot for Valentine's Day, we keep it simple. I love it when he makes me a card and offers to help around the house.
Our son just gave my husband and I a really great gift this week - we're Saints fans, he was down in New Orleans for the game, and found a signed print of a drawing of the late great Buddy D wearing his dress. We were thrilled!
Um. My roommate and I usually go half on a bottle of wine and some pizza. And chocolate. Sometimes more wine. And/or sometimes more chocolate. Meh.

My first Valentine as a married woman, I rec'd a gorgeous David Yurman bracelet that I had been ogling for a long time. I had no idea that he had even noticed my longing! ;-0
Ha I don't have a clue. My birthday is 3 days after Valentines so I kind of get the shaft, though I have high hopes this year (or at least my hubby is leading me to believe I should!) His b-day is right before Christmas so I guess it evens out!
On February 7, 1990 when I was 6 months old Dr. Rosencranz fixed the hole in my heart. He gave me life. The best gift ever
My third child.
My favorite gift is the ring my husband gave me on our 25th valentines day. I had to follow a string of clues to an ice cream cake, then had to discover the ring hidden under under a rose on the cake! I will always treasure not only the ring, but the memory of how much trouble he went to - writing all the clues, getting the ring hidden in the cake, and surprising me with something so special.
I don't have any really memorable Valentine's day presents...but for Christmas last year (2008) I received my first sewing machine from my husbad...and it's been nonstop sewing even since : )
My husband was summiting Mt Kilimanjaro on Valentines Day last year. I hadnt had contact with him for 10days and it was the first times in 27 years that we had not had contact for so long and we couldnt make contact by phone, as he was in the middle of Africa thousands of feet up. On the afternoon of Valentines Day the phone rang..he had his phone on him and thought hed try and see if he could get through to me...Well, you guessed it..he got through and I was estatic to hear his voice... This is the best present he has EVER given me in all the 27 Valantines we have spent together....Thanks Lisa
My favorite is the valentines card my son gave me when he was little with a little votive candle holder that was made out of a baby food jar covered with different colored tissue paper it was so sweet. Thanks for the giveaway
You can't beat a dozen roses every now and then! on Valentine's Day especially.
The best gift that I was given for Valentines day was from my children, after the death of their dad. We made cupcakes together and frosted them with pink icing. We looked through family pictures and shared stories about things we all did together as a family when their dad was around. We ate lots of chocolate and just really had fun being together and loving each other.
My best valentine's gift was when we rescued our maine coon mix kitty. It's a gift that keeps on giving :D
One memorable valentine's day was in 1992 - I was very pregnant with my second child. I 'really' wanted him born on that special day but he waited until then next day!
Anything sewing or quilting related are the best gifts ever!
My best gift ever was a homemade Valentine from my daughter...still have it in my nightstand!
Oh I love the green Chirp! :-)
I never got a Valentines present as we did not celebrate this day nin my country (The Nederlands). But we're catching up with the Valentines day celebrating countries :-)
My best gift was a lavendar colored heart shaped box of chocolates from my husband to be, the first year we were dating. It was the first ever valentine gift I'd ever gotten, and so darn classic. I will never forget it.
It is hard to think over all the years what the best gift I ever received is. Maybe this year, my husband gave me 3 sheep. Now, that may sound strange, but since a little girl I have wanted a sheep. I am now 61 and just got my sheep!
As far as giving a gift, I think it was with my late husband. His birthday was Valentines day so it was a double great day. One year I posted an ad in the paper under auto, as he was looking for a car. It was a Happy Birthday, Happy Valentines day "ad". He was still in school, we had several kids and no money. To him the "ad" and the homemade dinner following was a big surprise and and a real heart warmed for me to give.
He died in 99 and even though I am remarried I find Valentine's day a bit of a bitter sweet day. I still remember his face that day he read the "ad".
My husband is not a good gift-giver. Living so frugally when we were first married, twenty years ago, and not knowing what to do, he went to Target and bought an indoor countertop electric grill! I think it was $12.00. We grilled hot dogs and had a great time.
When my daughter was in college she snuck photos of some of my sewing & quilting projects & surprised me with a great little memory book. There were pictures of her favorite outfits that I made, stuffed animals, prom dresses & wedding dresses along with quilts. It was truly the best gift!
What can beat Valentines hand made by my two preschool boys? NOTHING, that's what!!! :)
My best Valentine's present was my husband. I know it sounds cheesy, but bear with me a moment.
I was in the middle of my divorce, I hadn't seen my daughter all week and wouldn't see her for at least 4 or 5 more days (she was with her father on vacation), and I was feeling absolutely lonely and miserable. My then-boyfriend drove 9 hours to surprise me and spend the weekend with me. I don't think I could have asked for a more thoughtful present. It's sure lasted longer than a bouquet of flowers!
My favourite valentines gift was a plasticine model my boyfriend made of himself for me - hilarious and a bit weird :) (we were 15)
My favorite "gift" was that my now husband asked me to be his girlfriend on Valentines Day 19 years ago. We were still in high school and had been friends for a while. He didn't seem interested in dating, but for me hanging out was great. 19 years ago this Valentine's day, he asked me to be his "girl". We have been together every since. He joined the Navy 17 years ago and we have gone through deployments, moves around the country, and lots together. He is the best "gift" I could have ever gotten, on Valentines Day or any other day for that matter.
Thirteen years ago for our first Valentines together my husband gave me a kitten. We had only been together for a few months and he was not a cat person at the time. I really wanted a kitty....and now we have 5!!!!
For me, it was the vase of 5 yellow roses sent to me by my dear friend (at the time). He wanted to show me how much he cared about me, and I was clueless how deep those feelings went. Until that Valentines Day. It was a wonderful surprise, during a brutal mid-term week in college. I married him two years later, and it has been 19 years since he sent the roses. I still adore this man-- I am blessed without a doubt.

My hubby isn't really a brilliant gift giver but this past month after lamenting in sorrow how sad I was that my auctioned quilt was gone and had not made much money... hubby bought if off the seller and surprised me with it! and also made a donation to the charity too!I love him!
Hello
Love the choices love the chances :)
My hubby is the best he always surprises me - flowers chocolates even a quilting machine (still need to be assembled LOL)
Cheers
Catie
Some years he surprises me, some years, not so much! But I do remember receiving some of my favorite Russell Stover French Chocolate mints back many years ago when I was pregnant with our first baby. Yummmmmm..
Any jewelry I have ever been given becomes the best gift I have ever received. It never fails.
we don't do valentine's day, but i did get a nirve cruiser bike today, just because!!
My husband writes me the most beautiful poems. While I have recieved a few Valentine poems that were wonderful, my favorite is the very first one he wrote me on our Birthday (We sare a birthday).
I'm not a Valentine's fan, but the best gift I've ever received (for another occasion) was probably cross-country skis.
I think the best Vday present was the homemade chocolate truffles my Very Dear Husband made for me last year! I came home from work and he had cooked dinner and made these luscious chocolate truffles for dessert. How romantic!
My husband to be made me chocolate covered strawberries for this weekend and cooked dinner for me...I think he is a keeper!
Red roses. While quite traditional, I think the are still very romantic.
The best Valentines present I've received was a beautiful Movado watch circled with diamonds. It was a gift from my dear sweet husband.

My favorite Valentine's gift was a small 10k gold hear with a ruby stone. It was the first present of many from my then to be husband. I was a junior in high school and he was of limited means. I still treasure that heart till today after almost 42 yrs. I hope to give it to my oldest daughter who is expecting her first child, my first grandbaby in July!
Greetings From Down-under!,
My Hubby is not big on Valentine's ......but he ALWAYS...for both my Birthday and Christmas presents, makes a special card on his printer, then puts it in a place that I will find it.....last time, the Christmas card was propped in the Central Heating controller on the wall!
It's not often I get anything for valentine's day accept a card now, but when we first started seeing each other I got a book I'd been eyeing and a single red rose. Now if I want flowers I have to buy them with the weekly food shop, lol.
Thank for the great giveaway :)

Thanks!

I can't say that one in particular stood out. Each year the boys bought gifts for the girls in the family and visa versa. I think this is the first year we didn't do that. OK, maybe this year, I got a new transmission for my car!!
I have to say I'm lucky enough to have 2 favorites and it was today. The first from my son who had to write an essay on his favorite person and it was me. The teacher sent it home with a note saying this is your Valentine's. Also from my grandson who came in carrying a purple stuffed bear I had been eyeing. Thanks for the giveaway.
Happy Valentines Day! Received a dark chocolate candy that was so good...Would love to win some birdie chirp fabric
Wow! I only check in every couple of days with you, but there sure are a lot of comments!
My favourite gift ever was the scooter my Beloved Spouse gave me for my 45th birthday two years ago.
It's awesome! :)
My best Valentines surprise...A banner filled with chocolates that spelled out devotions from my husband... A year when we had no money, just lot;s of imagination..It started out...
You fill me with kisses ( chocolate hersheys)....
blessings to you...madame samm
I received an awesome gift today from my hubby - a red teapot and a quilter's magazine. He is so sweet and so is this giveaway.
I love Valentines day... but my hubby and I don't do gifts. Instead every year we have a stay at home lobster dinner. I love to try new recipes and I especially LOVE to have lobster for under $15! Yummy!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love it when my husband gives me flowers. He hardly ever does it because he thinks they are a waste but I love them!
My husdband proposed to me with my beautiful diamond ring 13 years ago today! He's been telling the kids the story today. Good memories... GREAT gift ;-)
Beautiful fabrics!

A stuffed monkey that I got from my husband back when we were dating. He came to pick me up (I'd only known him for two weeks) and when he opened the car door for me there was a huge monkey in the front seat holding a dozen roses. I somehow mentioned to him that I loved chimpanzees, and the monkey he got me was a huge gorilla, but I thought it was so sweet of him to try, and it was hilarious to me that he didn't know a chimpanzee from a gorilla!
I'm so glad I married that monkey boy! :)
My birthday is February 7th so I let Hubby get away with one gift for the two holidays. One year we bought a new house. Another year we bought a new car.
