When my wife worked at Hershey Chocolate in Hershey PA, I would buy her some boxed Hershey Chocolate and wrap it in flowery paper for laughs.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I don't give Valentine's Day gifts, but I do have my heart on.

Yeah, the same with us. I gave her Valentine gifts when we first started our relationship, but that was in the 80s. In recent years, we have stopped giving each other birthday gifts, we both dislike the celebration of such. But we still give each other Christmas gifts, but modest ones. We each buy what we're hankering for throughout the year, so it works out.

Married for 36 years. I always get her a card. She will get me one if I drive her to the store and look the other way while she shops.

For Valentines, I bought the ultimate gifts for the ones I love.

My dogs got Dentastix, and I bought myself a new AGV Pista GP RR helmet.

We do nice things for each other all the time. I got her a digital picture frame for her desk at work.

So a new mop, vacum and apron is a no go?

I was thinking that after 51 years of v-days, this post would have nothing for me. Boy was I wrong! Appliance Brad's reply was well worth opening this thread. Well done, Sir well done.
