Lingerie. That is a gift that’s more for him then her.
So you're saying you'll never be satisfied? /ducksI really want a Roomba, and would not be offended if I got one. As long as he tacked some chocolate to it, I would be thrilled.
For me anything Hamilton related. That would kill any romance vibe there might be.
I guess I'm just built different because my boyfriend (now husband) bought me a vaccuum for Valentine's Day when we were first dating. I loved it because I needed one and he didn't ask what I wanted, just observed what I needed and got it. To me, it seems rude to poo poo any gift that your spouse/significant other gets you.

I guess I'm a weirdo because I just would like something my husband noticed I wanted.
Call me old fashion, but a vacuum cleaner or crock pot or any such household appliance is a house gift. For Valentines day or birthday, it should be something personal.
Agree. However, I've been married nearly 32 years. I really don't like roses, especially red roses -- I just like daisies or tulips. I tell my husband throughout the year (and my daughter tells him), but nearly every Mother's Day and Valentine's Day I receive red roses, because HE likes red roses. I don't say anything negative when he gives them to me because that would be really rude, but each time it hurts, because he obviously never hears me.
I'm not griping about the flowers -- I see them as him trying to be sweet, but I really wish he'd just listen.
