Less than last year (30.5%)

The same as last year (40.7%)

Nothing. I never buy gifts for Valentines Day. (16.7%)

    I am frequently out of the country on Valentine's Day. This year I will be here but we are sharing costs with our neighbors and throwing a combined birthday/Valentine's bash and having it catered instead of giving gifts to each other. It was a joint decision with many couples and I think will be a great time without a ton of expense.

    Boy am I out of the loop. It's the 1 time of the year that I stock up on chocolate for the year. I'm a serious chocoholic!! It is the holiday for lovers though!

    My husband and I usually leave our kids with my mom and go out for an amazing night together.

    We just found out we were having our first child last year. We had a nice dinner, flowers and jewelry for me. This year we are staying in with our daughter. I am going to make the dinner we had on our first Valenrtines Day.

    With the economy we will spend less this year. Last year we got a babysitter and went to dinner and movie and came home with a nice bottle of wine. This year we will stay home with kids and have a dinner her with bottle of wine we already have.

    We usually take turns for Valentine's day. One year I will cook a big meal, the next year my husband will cook. But, since we just had a baby in October, our Valentine's Day will be spent with him. We look forward to cuddling with him by the fire. May have a glass of wine and watch a movie as a family. Doesn't that sound just wonderful! :)

    This is our second married Valentine's Day. Since last year we were still paying for the wedding we didn't do much. This year we are going to the symphony!!

    My fiance will be working on Valentine's Day, so we will most likely go out to dinner on Friday. I will be spending less money this year - last year we hit the casino and the casino hit our wallets! I am still looking for a great inexpensive gift - anyone have a great idea?
