But it doesn't have to be a sappy "traditional" gift. I know she's wanted a cd player for a long time. And I did ask her if that would be an okay V day gift. She was stoked.
Listen to her for ideas. One day my girlfriend said in pasing how she wanted a waffle maker. It was one of her gifts for X-mas and she made a big deal about it because I actually remembered and she'd only mentioned it once.
