I once received, among a couple of other small gifts just for me, a handmade and customized journal from my then-boyfriend. He had made it for the two of us to share. The whole thing was really neat, and set up sort of like a scrapbook. The idea was for us to take turns having the notebook, and to pass it back and forth. We did this for a couple of years. We went our separate ways over a dozen years ago, but we’re still friends. And, it was a pretty cool gift idea that led to a lot of cool memories.
I can’t really think of anything non traditional, except that my husband and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day only one day a year. We both believe we should be celebrating every day of the year!
What is the best non-traditional Valentine’s Day gift you have ever received?
I know roses are traditional…but not when they’re frozen! Before my husband and I got together and were just crushing on each other, we went out with a bunch of friends one Valentines Day. He bought me a white rose, but was too chicken to give it to me so he left it in his truck. Our friends fixed it so that he had to give me a ride home that night. When we got into his truck, he gave me the rose. Being February in Wisconsin, it was frozen. 20+ years later, I still get roses for Valentines Day. 11 red…and one frozen white rose.
a dishwasher. After years and years of handwashing the dishes my birthday and V-day are close together so my husband got me a dishwasher this year for a birthday/Bday present lol I guess you can say it is a win win for both of us, because he don’t have to hear me talk about neverending dishes anymore
Last year my husband bought me The Other Guys on dvd. The funny part is I was going to buy the same movie for him!
I got an exercise bike! Not because he thought I too fat to receive chocolates 🙂 It was something I wanted that I didn’t get for Christmas that year.
I’ve never received anything out of the ordinary… It’s always been flowers or jewelry.
The best i received was my new Shark vaccuum from my hubby!!! BEst gift ever!
Well I’m asking for “Bad Moms Christmas”dvd for Valentine’s Day this year, does that count? 🙂
power ranger episodes on a flashdrive!
I received a new laptop as a gift. My old one had just broke the night before and I was surprised with a new one the next day.
I got a baggie of fresh cut herbs to make tea with wrapped with a ribbon.
Best was a barbershop quartet singing for me.
I have received the email but a handmade box from my daughter was the best. She used craft sticks and painted it different vibrant colors!

A few years ago I’ve asked my husband for a food steamer as a gift, and I’ve got it. 🙂
Not too many non traditional ones as hubby always buys me flowers. Last year he purchased me a necklace. So it’s always traditional.
