What do boys want for Valentine's?

Backstory

No fair saying just obliterate the holiday. I love Valentine's day...it shouldn't be this gift performance anxiety or any kind of jr. high floral show competition. If you are a guy, what's the best gift you've been given or wished you'd been given? Or for the girls, what gifts have you given that got the best reception.

The well thought out seduction...sounds like a great novel. I like gift ideas within my reach.

KharisJo says,

sent my man a toy gorilla holding a heart to his workplace. He has a good soh and he loved it.

Well, no good receptions from significant others. Even well thought out seductions. The men heretofore in my life were too Valentines-phobic to even enjoy that... But I had this little flirtation going with the produce guy last year and he is a real chatty sort. So I stopped in earlier in the day than my usual produce run, wait, first I got dressed up (casual sexy), then I went over and just ran in and said, since you like to chat so much, I bought you conversation hearts for Valentines.

He was so surprised. He gave me a really nice hug.

Gifts I have given that got good reception (other than the obvious, which is never turned down ;) ):

a perfect navel orange
a pint of B&J and two spoons--Karamel Sutra was a special hit
a cherry pie

My dude wants to go to the new Die Hard movie for V-Day. He said that I can request anything I want if we go :) We are planning a double-date and the ladies are making dinner for the guys before the show (with lots of tasty beverages too of course!).

Believe says,

I filled my then-boyfriend/now-husband's office with giant red heart shaped balloons our first valentines. I'm not a valentines fan, but thought I should do something fun being it was our first. They lasted months, MONTHS, to his dismay. He loathed and loved it. It's hard to be professional surrounded by red hearts.

I can't recall who, but a comedian said it perfectly. All the commercials are aimed at women because they can't advertise what men really want.

ShellDeFelice says,

Too funny DDbytheC! Sad that most men don't realize all they have to do is empty the diswasher to get their treats.
