We don't do anything special.. we agreed a long time ago not to buy cards, candy, etc. it's so commercialized it disgusts me, same with Sweetest Day. We are bombarded by the media advertisements of buy this special designed heart shaped necklace, this year Kays Jewelers is pushing this open heart necklace, last year it was the "Circle Of Love" I was so glad dh didn't get me one when half the ladies in his office came in after Christmas sporting the same necklace. Like Christmas, it has lost it's meaning by so much commercialism. We love each other and show it in small ways everyday by the things we do for each other.. if I see something my dh likes I buy it then and give it to him, we don't wait for special holidays to show our love. Works for us after 23 years of marriage.
