My husband and I do not celebrate Valentine’s day. We’ve both disliked the holiday since before we met (in fact, a friend and I used to get together over Valentine’s day weekend and make hearts out of black construction paper and write “Happy February 14th” in white out on them). However, we both have a kind of guilty feeling on the day if we DON’T get each other SOMETHING even though we both agreed that it’s stupid.
I’ve heard the suggestion that Movado Watches make great Valentines gifts for those who think in riddles (Love that lasts a lifetime, love for all time, etc), which is actually pretty traditional. Just think of the Victorians and their fan language, or the language of flowers, and so on. Lovers have always sent secret messages to each other in these types of ways, and BlueDial.com makes it easy by including free 2nd day shipping to the continental US and free sizing with each watch sold.
To hubs, however, the ultimate in classiness is a Cassio watch, and I don’t wear watches. There’s one Seiko watch that I think I’d like, but I still can’t see me wearing it. I’m perfectly happy with my Christmas Mickey Mouse watch and my Nightmare Before Christmas watch. I rarely even wear bracelets, and I make those!
No, if I ever feel the need to wear a watch, I’ll probably just make one.
