I hate V-day. I always remind the hub to NOT get me anything, and to not make plans to go out to dinner--not with me, anyways.
The dinner thing is just because every single restaurant is filled to capacity all night long, and you get to wait for hours longer than normal.
If he really *must* get me anything, I prefer a rose bush that we can plant in the back yard. With all the bodies. I very much dislike how prices are jacked up and expections and pressures are running high for a meaningless calendar date. And if the hub is *romantic* to me on a hallmark-pushed day, and not at any other time of the year for any other reason, it just gets my dander up big time.
