Delicious Valentines Day Gifts

I’m not easily impressed and I pride myself on having a will of iron. Once my mind is made up, there are very few things that can change it. It has its upside and it’s down side. The upside being I can walk into a store and put together an entire outfit in under thirty minutes. Its down side is if my boyfriend for five years manages to forget my birthday, and I swear on my very iron will that I’ll never forgive him, I might end up eating my words.

It happened last year, he forgot my birthday and it just boiled my kettle. We’d been dating for five freaking years and he goes and forgets my birthday! He wasn’t even ashamed of himself and it made me madder, my anger swelled and bubbled way up to February and he was definitely looking at a solitary valentines dinner. My sister told me in a very annoying know-it-all tone that come valentines day and the mountain of valentines heart and valentine’s day chocolate that my BF would get me and my anger would be gone with the wind. I seriously doubted that would ever happen. I mean I wasn’t some brainless high school girl who would go crazy over a heart shaped valentine or a valentine chocolate box, I had a will of iron! I personally went online and scoped out the big stuff being rolled out for Valentines Day, the newest thing in valentines bouquets and romantic gifts for that special someone. Once I knew all the stuff that was out there I spent the fourteen days of February reinforcing my resolute to not let any valentine gift deter me. Come Valentines day and my BF shows up on my door step with my valentines day gift basket; a huge fruit bouquet! That was my fastest melt down ever! The fruit had been cut and arranged like flowers and was even dipped in chocolate. Of all the unique Valentines Day gift ideas I had seen and read about online, nothing could have prepared my resolute to stay angry at my boyfriend after that awesome gift. I forgave him and he eventually apologized for forgetting my birthday (something about losing his daily planner). The fruit bouquet was delicious and we had a great time eating it for dessert after our Valentines dinner.
