At some point husband and I decided that we should each make the Valentine for the other as an agreement. This continued for several years – examples – he made me a reproduction 18th century pin ball (holds pins while hanging from my waist not a game with metal balls and noise). I stitched him a a heart – complete with major veins and arteries. I make (or at least used to make) a line of small hand stitched seated bears out of stuffed round pieces of fabric, gathered tightly around their edges to sell – so I made him one of me working at my embroidery and the next year made him one of him working a tiny wooden bench for me with a heart painted on it (He even had safety glasses on which I made). The year we each took a piece of paper and drew on it – mine had a heart, glued on pennies and I wrote “It makes cents to me that I love you” was the last year we bothered – sometime back in the last century.
His family was big on gifts – giving them and expecting them. It took me decades to convince him when I say there is nothing I want I am not playing games as on TV and in movies – I realize mean that there is nothing I want and that he should be happy that he has provided me with everything I could want.
Hey man, I do the same thing. Sometimes I get distracted and then realize “I have to tell Jason he is special as hell.” So I make “date cards” and special “Event Cards” that are not for public consumption.

And now a bunch of readers have something to cut out of the paper or print out from GoComics to give to their loved ones! Cute!

He should’ve left out the line “romantic, huh?”. The rest of it was spot on.
