Word to the wise, dude. Bring back a card with it. Or a single flower. She said she doesn't want it, but she'll appreciate it.

yes - it's not really a big deal to me - but my husband has said he doesn't want HIS GIRL to be the one without something special on V day. And I'll take it. He also gets the kids a little something.

Yup there will be a card... there's always a card. But do I have to wrap the present? Brown paper bags are just so natural and organic looking.
Oh - you know what I like? My husband will hide a present in cool places - like where I keep the coffee - so first thing in the morning, when it's quiet and I'm alone, I'll open up the cupboard and there's the new SK novel, or a pint of Jager, something like that. Not wrapped - the hiding place is the wrapping. That always thrills me!Yup there will be a card... there's always a card. But do I have to wrap the present?

LOL! I think you're good. She already knows what it is, after all.
My favorite present came the last time my sweetie picked me up at the airport. After a long trip, and a hike to the car, there was a teddy bear sitting in my spot waiting for me. Just because he was happy I was coming home. So maybe that's an idea. If she goes to work or something, sneak out and hide a teddy bear on her seat for her to find.
If you like stand-up, check out Lewis Black's stand on Valentine's Day on Netflix. Enjoy.

Wrap a bow around the paper bag with a piece of raffia, yarn, or twine--still keeping it organic and shows you put in the extra effort.
Dude, you rock. It's sentimental and I don't think roses are ever cliché.
Yum, roses that make you drool.
My wife and I went to Lewis Black's show when he came thru our area last year. He was awesome and he stayed around in the lobby of the theater after the show until everyone got to meet him, get his autograph and a picture. He was very nice and cordial.
Wow, how cool was that? Nice to know that he appreciates his fans.
Yeah, my wife and I were both impressed with how nice he was to everyone. He seemed to go above and beyond as far as making sure everyone got a word in with him. We stood in line for about an hour after the show to meet him and were one of the last ones in line. It was a great show.

I like it. Thanks.
I have some garden twine and she likes to do gardening work. And instead of a bow I'll use a couple of seed packets.
Oh boy... you make these and I'LL find you some stems. And then I will marry you.
Just so when you go to eat them don't get them confused. Fake stems are more digestible than thorns!I think the win-win for you would be to make the bacon ones (that you can eat) but buy her real roses. You might want to have the real ones close by just in case the bacon ones get headed toward the trash can before you can redeem yourself with the real ones.
That's the real stuff
Guys! Wait until you see the Valentine's Day Google Doodle tomorrow... ( 
that just sounds wrong...) it's very cool! I'm playing with it now.
