I have quite the assortment since my kids usually pick out some for me every year :) <br />This year for Valentine's Day, Mr. Red House took me to a fancy dinner, where he tried hard to be the perfect date. (He even made a list of questions to ask to keep the conversation flowing! So cute!) He also got me chocolates and a cheese-making kit.

Mr. Red House loves cards and letters, though I often forget to get him one (and when I do, I can never figure out what to say on them, either!)

My hubby has not a romantic bone in his body, bless him, though his unromantic bones are good ones. (His marriage proposal consisted of "Well, when are we getting married?")

I am no better at gift giving than you are; one year I bought my DH socks, too. We're both too cheap to buy Valentine cards so when we're in the store, we pick through the fanciest cards and hand them to each other to look at. And then we put them back in the rack. <br /><br />The Valentine's scavenger hunt was an amazing idea and what a lot of work to organize. He certainly is a romantic.

I rack my brains and still come up with the practical, not so exciting or awesome gift. Meanwhile, he comes through every time (2 years ago he built me a terraced garden--think several big trucks full of materials arriving on my birthday.) Then our first baby was born on Valentine's Day (he's turning 6 tomorrow)...so Valentine's, at least, is pretty low key. I come up with some kind of scrumptious strawberry dessert and he usually gets me flowers. Phew, done! Except his birthday is NEXT WEEK and I still haven't figured out what to get him. Aaack! So yes, I feel your pain. Good luck from a fellow sufferer of gift-idea paralysis. :)Linnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500189741421518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-40526028620934498592014-02-13T22:55:33.359-05:002014-02-13T22:55:33.359-05:00Nice birdhouse!

But mine is as well, thank goodness. I'm very lucky that way. We downplay Valentine's Day quite a bit in that we exchange funny cards (and maybe chocolate) but no real gifts. Instead we save our dollars for trips and special dinners at other times of the year. It works for us!<br />I love the church birdhouse - very lovely.<br />Happy Valentines Day!Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208261869410640449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-71014724792632817022014-02-13T17:09:06.632-05:002014-02-13T17:09:06.632-05:00little Russian church - how gorgeous is that?!little Russian church - how gorgeous is that?!Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-70660706009489378782014-02-13T16:21:41.480-05:002014-02-13T16:21:41.480-05:00The bird house is fabulous.
