Get her anything you want but it better include one or more of the following.
Chocolate
Flowers
Simple jewlery
V-day Card (with personal sentiment)
Romantic dinner
Perfume
What you spend will be less critical than how you present it. Use some thought and make it special.

Chocolate covered Zukers? Not!

Should've ordered her a Salty Dog Fleece Jacket! :tongue: :grin: :shocked:

Hmmm... romance and boating....

How about a pair of earrings? John got me a pair of really cool jade dolphin earrings last September. I get so many compliments on them! They don't have to be expensive... just try to match her "style".

Good luck!

I bought halibut earrings for my wife at the Maritime Museum in Astoria 2 years ago. They were less cost than a dozen roses. They still had some there 3 months ago. They are still working to this day, unlike roses. The giving of halibut jewelry is the greatest expression of love that a man can give to a woman according to ancient Norse mythology.

Black Magic - Halibut? Hmmm... They're not exactly pretty fish. Are you pulling our leg? :grin:

Fishplay has the correct answer based on my experience. My wife likes to fish and boat, but, as I become more mature, I am learning that Valentines Day is not about fishing and boating.

Jen,
Trust me, I never make up stories. They really do sell halibut earrings at the museum. When I went there 2 years ago, the lady at the trinket counter said, "can I help you?". I said " I am looking for halibut earrings, ha ha". She said, " I have some of those right here behind the counter. They are not on display because there is not a heavy demand for them". So you see another example of Viking tradition being lost through the centuries.

Hey Sharkbait,

I know your budget ... get flowers and candy. Has always worked OK for
your Mom when money was short! Wait till you get a job before you start
thinking about Jewlery!

Hey Jen,

Black Magic is right! I got my wife a set of Halibut earrings and she just loves them. Take a look!

black magic · 02-13-2003, 09:47 AM

Jen,
You see I am not the one making up stories, as is Rod. These earrings in his picture are probably not real. The pair I bought are a different color and they were smaller.

Thanks for the help guys and girls!
Oh and fish Assassin thats not a bad Idea. Nothing like something to faten her up for the kill right? :smile: :grin: but any ways thank you to every one I think a good card,movie dinner,roses and a good back rub will do.

I see you settled for the "small ones"
She appears to be delighted with them.
Has she seen the picture you just posted on the internet for everyone to see? ROTFLMAO

Fishplay · 02-13-2003, 11:55 PM

Fattening one up might be a good idea. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

There was some talk about the coasties taking our boat heaters away! [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

I was wondering why Pilar keeps taking me out to eat and feeding me fried foods! :shocked:

PM,
You don't run that fast do you :smile:

PS: Did you get Pilar the Valentine present that I suggested?

I took my wife to the Embarcadero in Newport and got a suite with a jet tub. She really enjoyed it. Even had a fireplace. Now to top it off you could take your boat and go get some Herring and crab. They have a crab cooker and a cleaning station for their guests.
On Valentines night they usually have a special dinner just for the occasion.
Have fun...

Grantspastor · 02-14-2003, 08:26 AM

WOW Corrirod...you have taken gift jewelry to a whole new level! And to think I was only going to buy my wife a pair of "trout" earrings

OceanBlue · 02-14-2003, 08:31 AM

Keta: I used to

[img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] I'm going to have to hit the gym hard before I can be a bow ornament this summer!

As far as the valentine's gift, let's just say I'm getting my revenge
