If I was your g/f (I'm not asking to be, don't worry), if you were going to spend that kind of money, I'd much rather it was on something that would last more than a few days.
Jewellery or whatever.
I'd rather you didn't spend any money on me at all on valentines day as I'd appreciate snuggling up on the sofa eating popcorn and watching a movie far more.
Craft1948 and poltergeist, that is excessive, end of, you must have to try and prove something, My Mom would actually be horrified if I spent that much on Mothers Day and me vice versa with my kids. A nice homemade card and family dinner makes the day and a bunch of tulips even better. 80 pound is ridiculous but each to their own.
Nope I am with Lakitu on this. Lovely as it is to receive a huge bouquet of flowers, I would actually prefer the gift of time, which is something none of us have for each other nowadays.
