I made my man a basket with the things that he liked in it for our first V-day and we had only been together for 2 months. I wrapped it pretty with cellophane. Fruit, sees candy, etc. Last year (BTW we have been together now for 5 years) I send flowers to his job and brought him some ballons to his job as well.

I was thinking of making him a nice basket filled with goodies.

a basket sounds good becasue it is more personal and will mean more I think. It is also fun making the basket and finding thing to go in it.

Yeah. a basket or a big bag full of stuff
include things that you see he is lacking around the house or need more of... adds a special personal touch to the gift

It's our first Valentine's day. I'm getting him a little mp3 player & I'm loading on some of "our" songs on it.
The basket sounds really personable and thoughtful.
It's our first one too. I made him a Calendar on Walgreens.com with pictures of his family and us... special dates and special meaning for each month. It came in the mail yest. and it's really nice. I'm also getting him a tie and scarf and a piece of key lime pie (inside joke lol). Just keeping it sweet and simple.

Really good idea. Keep them coming. I don't want to do something mushy because it is still too soon and new.

For your first valentine in a "new" relationship, I would give "something" that you can share together to help create a fun memory - like concert tickets, gift certificate for a couple massage, or trip to shooting range, etc.
If all else fails, cook a great meal and serve as an indoor (still cold outside) picnic.

i don't know who or where you came up with the idea to write him a letter, but that is the best idea yet!! I pictured this letter to be written on nice stationary with a red ribbon threaded around the letter ending in a bow at the bottom.... that is something he will NEVER forget....something he will always cherish.... sounds like it should be a move..."The Letter"..

I was saying I posted in the wrong thread. I can't delete a post so I just wrote "wrong thread"

For our first V-day, I had one of those Edible Arrangements delivered to FH's job. He LOVES fruit and they have the ones that come in the football/basketball vases so its masculine. I had a naughty note attached to it that had something to do with some juicy fruit he could snack on later

That's a good idea.Maybe an Ipod shuffle would be good and inexpensive.
Exactly, although his isn't a shuffle.
Maybe he'll be upgraded for the 1 year anniversary. We're big music buffs and we already have like 10 songs so I thought that this would be perfect. I also can load on some cd's that I have that he doesn't that I know he loves.
I like your basket idea. It would be cute to add the loaded mp3 with a candle, some chocolates, and maybe a gift certificate for dinner.

I bought him a card which was tough. I am not in love and most of the cards say love. I love the fancy letter idea. I am making a basket.

I just got him something that wasn't romantic, but I knew he would like. I got him the complete Transformers series in a special tin with a keychain, the movie and a collector's guide.

You may want to look for those card categories that say "New Love" or "New Relationship"... they tend to stay away from all that "lovey dovey" stuff.

My SO have been dating for five months now. I'm kinda irritated that I overdid it for xmas. I made him a basket with (memories photo frame, Bvlgari cologne, two of his favorite movies, huge bottle of Hennesy--his fav, relationship book and workbook. Then,I got him this huge round mirror for the bedroom. I spent too much esp.since we were only together for 3 mos. at that point. Now I'm wishing that I saved the basket for now.
He recently asked me to tell him three things that I love about him. I emailed it on Wednesday (should have waited until tomorrow). My coworker suggested that I pull out some of the sentences, and have someone turn it into calligraphy and put it on a frame for him. I might do that.

I remember doing that in the past. One year I got him a small tool set and those stretch cable things. I figured he could use them.

Would it be wrong to not give DH anything for our first Valentine together as newleyweds?
I just want to cook and ****.
**** = rest
Put a bow on your breast and give him that.

You mean Chicken breast, right D? :wink2:

Good Ideas.. I have been wondering about this also.. I was thinking a bottle of cologne but I do not know if that is to much for now. We have been seeing each other for 6 weeks. I am pretty clueless. I also thought I would make Heart shaped cookies either oatmeal raisin on macadamia nuts since those are his favorites... I am perplexed.. What do you guys think.. I do like the letter idea. In case we are together for years to come he will always remember it.. I am going to save the Basket idea for his B-day..
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.. I tend to over do it for men who do not deserve it but now that I think I have one who does deserve it. I am clueless...
