I usually get guys something fun. Concert tickets, an airsoft gun, legos...

[–]porkpie-hat 4 points5 points ago

Listen to this girl (or guy). Flowers? What the fuck am I going to do with flowers? Airsoft guns, on the other hand...

[–]HolyGarbage 1 point2 points ago

This, this right here is it.

[–]Nobodyreallycares 24 points25 points ago

Oh God, here come the "blowjob and steak" comments from people who have never had a decent one of either,

[–]GenJonesMom 3 points4 points ago

Fuck. First thing that came to mind verbatim. Although I do think I have done a decent job at both.

[–]Lost216 2 points3 points ago

It does sound good. Especially at the same time.

[–]SamwiseIAm 2 points3 points ago

Why do you assume only people that haven't had good bj's or steaks would want them for Valentine's Day? I would assume people would only respond that way if they liked it the first time around...

[–]Nobodyreallycares -1 points0 points ago

Because it's a Reddit cliche.' Every time this question has come up in the last 6 years, it always degenerates to "blowjob and steak"

[–]SamwiseIAm 1 point2 points ago

I see. TIL. That doesn't diminish how great a nice steak is, or how wonderful head is, But I get your point.

[–]Nobodyreallycares -4 points-3 points ago

Since you seem to be an expert, I want to see instructions on giving men oral sex, and how to cook a steak. Lets say a rib-eye, at home, on an electric stove.

[–]dlove67 0 points1 point ago

You don't have to be good at it to know that it /is/ good. also, steak is meant to be grilled.

[–]SamwiseIAm 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, thanks for that. I read that response and was like... wtf? Also, yeah, a grill.

[–]x-tophe 0 points1 point ago

Oh no, I forgot about all those posts from last year.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Lingerie, corsets and roleplay costumes. Toys, selfphotos and selfvideo.

[–]boddilyfluids 2 points3 points ago

vallentines day, birthday, anniversary, thursdays. hell, this works for all hollidays

[–]Lost216 1 point2 points ago

Hoping my fiance sees this post

[–]EssentialVitaminB 9 points10 points ago

we're guys, it really doesn't take much to make us happy. tell us you love us and be really appreciative of our gifts and we'll be happy

some sex obviously though

[–]xvash 1 point2 points ago

just a pinch of sex

[–]PureClass 0 points1 point ago

Just a LOT of sex.

[–]graciespook 1 point2 points ago

What if you put out A LOT already? And cook for him every night? And when I say cook, I mean cook gourmet meals every night. So what do I do now, on a budget?

[–]holy_mackerel 2 points3 points ago

If you're already being that great with each other then why do anything for valentines day? you're already showing your appreciation for each other, so just take the day to veg out get a take away and relax!

[–]graciespook 1 point2 points ago

Agreed - however, I know there IS something planned on his end. I would feel like a jackass if I didn't make some sort of effort. I'm trying to think outside of the box here (no pun intended).

[–]holy_mackerel 1 point2 points ago

haha, fair enough. In that case I'd go with something creative; find something he likes and make your gift part of that. With all the internet 'how to's out there you can make pretty much anything with a little effort. Something personal like that will easily trump a bought gift in my opinion.

[–]graciespook 0 points1 point ago

What I really wanted to do is record a song or something - I sing and he likes to hear me sing, so that would be kind of epic! The wheels are turning now - Thanks!!!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

An archery set. A real archery set.

[–]blastfromtheblue 0 points1 point ago

Or maybe season 1 of Archer on bluray.

[–]SamwiseIAm 2 points3 points ago

Sexy massages are nice. Maybe get him a game if he's a gamer so he can play it while you make him a nice, homemade meal. If that's not your thing, perhaps you can suggest that YOU pay for the date this time around and take him to a decent restaurant. Like a delicious brewery or a steakhouse or something. Maybe bbq if that's his thing. Also, if he's a drinker, a nice bottle of his favorite liquor or a fancy beer would be great. Just a few thoughts...

[–]soulofWren 2 points3 points ago

This. I feel like I have to get my boyfriend something, just so I won't feel awkward if he gets me something. But I have no idea what to get for him.

[–]fawkme 2 points3 points ago

cook him a romantic dinner.

[–]boredwillow 2 points3 points ago

Were you looking to get a page of "steak and blowjobs" responses?

[–]northernlights42 1 point2 points ago

Video games and tits.

[–]blancseing 2 points3 points ago

I like surprising my guy with an experience. Radiohead tickets, zip lining, hang gliding. Something neither of you will ever forget!

[–]MisterTurtle 2 points3 points ago

They want, you know, cupcakesandshit.

[–]dlove67 1 point2 points ago

You.

He shoots He scores

[–]Manfred1816 3 points4 points ago

You're sending him flowers? I don't mean to be rude, but send him something that he will more likely want. Sorry if I sound like a dick, but, seriously, I don't know any guys who would get excited over flowers. I am sure he would much rather have a pizza delivered over flowers; have the pizza place make a pepperoni heart on it or something. That's way better than flowers.

[–]prettywitty 5 points6 points ago

I sent a guy flowers once and it turned out to be awesome because it attracted so much attention.

[–]pdxGary 0 points1 point ago

Really? Are you sure he wasn't just being nice? I know any of my guy friends or I would want the kind of attention that comes from your girl sending you flowers at work. I'm pretty sure most guys would prefer this particular holiday just went away. If you're doing it right, you shouldn't need a date on a calendar to express your love.

[–]SirFrancis_Bacon 3 points4 points ago

I've gotten flowers before and it's awesome. And if men can use Valentines day to go all out, why can't women.

[–]pdxGary 1 point2 points ago

doh! not want*

[–]Stillson 0 points1 point ago

I think it would be hilarious to get flowers at work. I don't think any male would have a typical female reaction to flowers, but I would laugh like hell.

[–]passion4pizza 2 points3 points ago

I had flowers sent to my (then) boyfriend and it was a huge hit. I had them sent to his work. He was working out of state. They were our state flower. He really liked it and said he actually blushed. Too cute.

[–]drjacksahib -1 points0 points ago

Flowers? To his work? As a man, I would find forgetting the date to be preferable. This would be awkward, and they'd just end up in the trash before I got back to my desk.

Honestly, I dont expect gifts for valentines day. The social convention is I get her something, and I hope appreciation will be shown carnally.

[–]bakonydraco 8 points9 points ago

If you throw away flowers from a girl who loves you, you're not a real man.

[–]drjacksahib 0 points1 point ago

Real men like receiving flowers?

[–]bakonydraco 2 points3 points ago

We like it when people show kindness. If you're really so insecure in your masculinity that you can't handle receiving a "feminine" gift, you've got much bigger issues.

[–]nikatnight 0 points1 point ago

agreed.

[–]TravisBazemore 1 point2 points ago

blowjobs

[–]W35 1 point2 points ago

steaks

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I know very few men that want a bouquet of flowers

[–]cupcakesandshit[S] 1 point2 points ago

I told myself "no balls" so I had to.

[–]soulsatzero 0 points1 point ago

Best Valentines present I ever received was a bottle of whiskey and a carton of smokes. I had totally spaced it out and she didn't even get pissed.

[–]drphilthay 1 point2 points ago

I got sock garters a pipe and really splendid sex one year, I think that was my fave.

[–]dungeonkeepr 0 points1 point ago

If it's any help, got my boy a wallet - half practical because his old one ate cards and half romantic cos he'll always have it on him to think of me. Flavoured lubes and a promise that you want to try them all on him? Surprise lingerie? Cake?

[–]Krs_one300 0 points1 point ago

Lingerie has been a gift for me in the past. It makes for a mutual gift, I got to have sexy time with a kinky twist, and she felt sexy wearing it, so she felt special. both are happy on the day that is for both of you.

[–]leftsideofthelane 0 points1 point ago

Go paint balling with him. Take him to a park that rents out those little pedal cars and race him in it.

[–]CastawayOnTheMoon 0 points1 point ago

Sex. Loads of passionate sex.

ever hear of Steak and Blowjob Day? it's march 14th, one month after Valentine's...i kid you not it's a real holiday. google it, it has its own website. my girlfriend and I hate valentine's day and everything about it, but we decided to celebrate both of these this year. hopefully it's as good as it sounds

[–]MoJoe1 0 points1 point ago

Well, just off the top of my head, Valentines day is about loving your partner. So, for Valentines try finding new ways to show him your love. See, guys are not really into the whole romantic thing, but we fake it pretty well, so he will probably try doing the romantic thing for you and you really should reciprocate with wild sex which is what we really want. Let him take you out to dinner and get you flowers, then afterwards go wild and do things you've never done before. Make that your tradition for Valentines, to try something new in bed.

Some ideas: Go to the adult toy store and pick up some lingerie/costume, perhaps some game that takes a long time to play but keeps you teasing each other throughout, maybe even a strap-on to peg him (if he's open to that). Also, you can never go wrong with a threesome, if you're OK with that.

There are some places that rent hot tubs by the hour (at their location, not delivered), rent one for a couple hours and be nude the whole time, play your game, use your toys, have your friend join you, etc.

[–]captainsmartypants 0 points1 point ago

nothing, but remember our efforts on http://www.steakandbjday.com/

[–]iraqtheparty 0 points1 point ago

You should cook him a really tasty breakfast. Go all out with some fresh squeezed oj, steak and eggs, or whatever he likes. And buy some sexy understuff. Sex and food. And maybe some booze.

[–]marley88 0 points1 point ago

I like it when a girl buys herself some lingerie/an outfit or whatever and surprises me with it.

[–]spaznuski 0 points1 point ago

Apart from the obvious, Tools I think are good gifts something simple like a vicegrip just visit the tool section of the hardware store and pick anything at random.

[–]LiveWaitDie 0 points1 point ago

Bacon Roses

[–]truesound 0 points1 point ago

Find his list of forbidden sexual acts that he has always wanted to do. Do one or two of those acts.

[–]G1ng3rPaul 0 points1 point ago

Something amusing to a 10 year old boy, so nerf guns, fun and interesting gadgety things and of course, as much as we wouldn't ask for it, the sweet card and message does make a lot of us happy... maybe some sexy talk and/or special sex :)

[–]CoyoteLandingbird 0 points1 point ago

a large plate of bacon with a nice six pack of ice cold beer, delivered by a hot chick wearing stilettos and nothing else. Worked for me.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Cook him his favorite meal while naked. And then make him eat dessert off of your tits. Fuck him, and then give him a massage instead of making him be the big spoon. And finally, watch his favorite tv show or movie with him while you blow him. You'll thank me.

[–]Lost216 0 points1 point ago

As long as the meal isnt bacon.

[–]Stillson 0 points1 point ago

My wife doesn't buy me a gift typically. We do dinner and a movie and I get her roses. Valentine's Day isn't Christmas.

I thought that I might ask my photographer friend take some nude photos of me for my boyfriend. Is that too weird? I'd like to give him something reaallly personal..

[–]Lost216 0 points1 point ago

If the photographer is a girl, go for it. If its a guy, your bf may have issues with that.

[–]melodidi 0 points1 point ago

The photographer is a girl so no problem there. Thanks for the advice! :D

[–]Lost216 1 point2 points ago

In that case, it sounds like a good idea. Just make sure you trust this guy enough.

[–]melodidi 0 points1 point ago

Hmm, good point. That's a very useful piece of advice.. hadn't thought of it myself. I think I trust him enough, though..

[–]sezrawr 0 points1 point ago

I got my boyfriend an Atari :) he likes retro game consoles..... so I got him one.

[–]GreaterUndeadAsshole 0 points1 point ago

I would just like some cuddling and sex? spending time? I'm a simple man.

[–]ilook2 0 points1 point ago

Skip the flowers....go pickup something red and sexy. Nice dinner,road head, strip tease, BJ, and HOT sex =WIN

[–]walkersdlx 0 points1 point ago*

A threesome with you and your best friend. Or when he comes home dress up in something wild. OR!!!!! you and your best friend dress up in something wild.. just saying... that was one of the best moments of my life.

[–]papersong 0 points1 point ago

I freaking hate the blowjob and steak thing. My bf won't do blowjobs unless I do a series of events that open him up for it otherwise he's too pressured. Maybe I'll make cookies.

[–]xvash 0 points1 point ago

How about something like a romantic puzzle that leads him to you? Maybe some hints that will take him to places you both remember and leads to you at a romantic destination. Sounds like a chick flick I've seen. I'm a straight guy by the way.

[–]chickenswithaxes 0 points1 point ago

BACON!

[–]Organs 1 point2 points ago

A burlesque show?

[–]boddilyfluids 0 points1 point ago

i, as a man, love burlesque shows and don't understand why anyone would downvote you. any woman who doesn't like them is just not worth my time, she's probably not fun or spontaneous.

I'm a dude, and what the fuck would I want with flowers on Valentine's day?

I'm always looking for for tips... how do you cook a decent steak?

[–]boddilyfluids 0 points1 point ago

it's gotta be sloppy.

[–]MoridinZero -1 points0 points ago

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most men think valentines day is full of shit. Personally I wouldn't care if I got nothing, however sex is always welcomed, and steak is delicious.

Afterthought: one year my wife made me a personalized card that she wrote some poetry, and drew some cute hearts on, one of the best gifts I've gotten. I'm a sucker for thoughtful creative stuff like that though.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

I'm making my guy cookies (he's also on reddit so keep this on the dl!) and we're going to a fancy place the weekend after.

you could also try home made sexy/chore coupins, or get some new unders

[–]HolyGarbage 1 point2 points ago

My girlfriend is making me (us) cookies pretty much every week, she's gonna make me a fat happy man.

[–]WanderingSpaceHopper -2 points-1 points ago

Blowjob, bacon and a healthy dose of leave me the fuck alone.

[–]nikatnight -1 points0 points ago

don't do the flowers. we don't like that. just ignore the holiday and you're fine.... well that's what i'd want.

in your case ask him.
