What shall I do for Jay?
I've changed my post because I wrote something different to what I'm asking.

Romance is more about simple acts of love and not acts of buying. I would recommend that you organise a special day where he gets pampered and made to feel like a king,likewise I recommend that he does the same to you.
Thinking about it reaaly,I recommend you do that every day,but I am just an old romantic !!
I personally think that st valentine has become the patron saint of restauranteurs and florists and it taints the real act of love that should exist to its full every day.
If giving pressies is something that you both normally do lucy,why not make something for him as that shows much more love and respect than a practical item that you could buy him any day.
My french ex girlfriend was great at doing this and I shall always remember the effort she went to by making me a huge necklace made out of melon pips. each pip had to be pierced,they were all painted different colours and varnished. It must of taken her ages to make it.
Sadly we had our yurt broken into and albeit I eventually tracked down the thief and got most things back,that lovely gift never returned,however the memory of her effort will always mean lots to me.
whatever you choose to do,I hope that you both have a lovely day.
Love and light
fly xx

We do all the lovey dovey stuff all the time so it would just be like any other day....
I made him a hat and a giraffe for Xmas.
Most weekends we have candle lit meals. We go for walks, go camping, mountain biking, mountain climbing, we give each other massages, we watch movies together, feed each other, we go visit beautiful places. Think of a movie where you see a romantic couple and you think it doesn't exist.... IT DOES (sometimes I think pass me the sick bucket) I totally agree with what you are saying about it not being Xmas and not about gifts but what else is there?
That's why I'm asking for ideas.

How about getting him lessons in something. You could get guitar lessons,art lessons, dry stone walling , brick laying, there are lots of things to choose from. It would be cool if he could have some fun and learn a new skill that will help him-you both in the future. The more apples in the basket the better me thinks !!

I remember an ex many years ago bought me a book along the lines of the art of lovemaking or something equally insulting towards a young man who thought that his lovemaking skills were just fine !!!
Of course she said that there were no probs in that department,but the seed of doubt was planted !!
Always worth giving thought to a pressie and its ramifications before buying it !!
Do let us know what you get him,though obviously not before the time as that could let the cat out of bag - on which a cat is for life and not just for valentines day just in case that gives you ideas :-)

Start a joint Memories Scrapbook and start it on that day. Just fill it with whatever, pics, thoughts, diary and so on. Forget the sheep version of the day which is just a commercialised rip off and do a journal from your hearts. Simple, cheap but priceless.

The memory book you made for me is my most precious object. Never underestimate how talented you are Lucy, or how much what you do means to people |

Call me a miserable bugger , but everyday should be like valentines day , unless you are actually using it as intented to draw attention to some one you fancy , same as birthdays , everyday is a birthday if you wake up and your nose is not pressed against a bit of wood and its dark .
Bloody card industry ! Make your own if you are going down that path way more personal .

Ok so far I booked us a hotel room in the lake district (one of his favourite places)
We are here now. Followed by mountain biking and if this wind fucks off we'll be climbing helvellyn tomorrow.
I've bought a huge frame and got a load of pictures of his kids when they were babies and growing up, ones of taxi and ones of me and him. To put on his wall.
