I had a boyfriend that studied art and one valentine's day he gave me one of his paintings, which was horrible. And I had to put it in my bedroom!

My ex-girlfriend gave me a horrible tie one valentine's day. I became embarassed because the tie was very expensive.
Paulo
Talking about expensive... I and my husband had just started going out together, and he gave me a very expensive perfume. But he didn't know I'm allergic to it!
Camilla
Last year I said to my wife she could chose her Valentines present. She didn't like it!!!

Hi everybody! I just loved your stories... Apparently, it's not that easy to pick the right Valentine's gift! And Paulo is the living proof that giving your partner the choice of getting his/her own present may not work either! :-) Thank you for your participation!
I'm smart girl. Days before Valentine's day, I took my boyfriend to the mall and showed some things that I like!
And yesterday, he gave two of this things!

What a great idea, Wanessa! :-) And, of course, journalists are usually very good at convincing other people, so I imagine your boyfriend didn't even notice the second intentions behind it... ;-)
Good to see you here!
