The craziest gift I have ever given to my valentine has to be a hand-made cartoon made by me, where she is slapping me. (This actually made her realise her mistake and our bond of love grew stronger)

My guy and I have the craziest fights so I came up with a funny way to ease the tension. I brought out a paper bag, asked him to draw a happy or sad face depending on how he felt at that moment, and clicked a picture of us.
It was so much fun, I guess all we do now is wryly smile in case one of us picks another fight. :P

Hey hie,
Craziest gift ever given my valentine was a loudest alarm clock what I could find in a store as always he never reached on time and height of impunctuality… Of coarse that time laughed a lot over it but then my idea of gifting him this worked very well ;)
February 1st, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Well, I had prepared a book which had “101 REASONS” Why I love you. It had all that what my heart wanted to say, funny, simple, serious and all that i would have not said on his face. It was cute and beautiful because it had Mickey and Minie mouse pic on every page as a watermark and our pic on main coverpage and the booklet was tied beautifully with red ribbon. Also along with this i gave him a small bottle which had seven capsules with small note placed in each capsule. So seven days of valentines, he was suppose to open one on each day. I had wished him on that :)

My wife feels that I am not very romantic so last year I decided to do something very special for her.
I designed a unique and special coupon booklet with 10 unique coupons that she can redeem whenever she wants (No conditions Apply)
1. One for a back massage after she is tired from work
2. One for a shopping trip when she wants some retail therapy
3. One for a long drive after a long day
4. One for me skipping my match and letting her watch her favorite serial
5. One for watching chick flicks with her
6. One for cooking when she wants to take a break
7. One for making bed tea for her when she wants to catch those extra winks
8. One for letting her use laptop and remote for a change
9. One for me switching off the lights and shutting doors in night myself
10. And the last one, a bonus- a blank coupon for her to write whatever she wants
The coupons are redeemable any number of times any day of the year! :-)
She absolutely loved it…I don’t know how to surpass it this year though, but I guess she will love these soaps coz she is absolutely crazy about such things so would be nice if I win it for her

I have not got an opportunity of doing that…but my general observation with guys is they are dirty, dont wash clothes for day together so i would love to gift them a “SURF EXCEL BAR and a BRUSH” to facilitate washing clothes :)
February 2nd, 2012 at 11:11 am
She used to come late everytime. So, i giffted her a wrist watch with a note that “i want to spend more time with you, so i want you to never get late. :))”.

Hi Miss M,
Today was my first visit and I seem to be addicted on day 1 itself!! I am enjoying it.
I had gone on an official trip to Karaikudi (a small town futher to Madurai). The place is famous for cotton. So I went shopping and after having picked some seven sarees for myself, just to avoid the self indulgence guilt (as I hardly wear sarees and also the number of them that I picked), I looked around for something to cover-up the extra baggage that I would take back.
And voila! I found something that would allow me another seven sarees. With great relief I picked up the special gift for my dear husband and returned home on Valentine’s night. (great coincidence!)
I had rightly predicted his liking for the gift but could not estimate the love and attachment he would display towards it. He would wear it each night, night after night and not stop praising it a bit. It turned out be his constant companion for a sound sleep, even more comforting than anything else.
I think I have created suspense enough for everyone. So just ending this long story.
I had picked up a cotton lungi (men’s wraparound) for him in his favourite color – blue. Though the gift was not expensive but it was something he was not expecting.
The lungi is still as dear as it was on day 1.

My hubby is a huge…I mean HUGE fan of Jerry Seinfeld so on our first V-day after getting married I gifted him a box set of Seinfeld DVD’s (all episodes in 24 DVDs). I had someone at work who was coming back from a business trip in the US so I had him pick them up for me since the DVDs arent available here. Hubby opened his eyes on V-day to Seinfeld blaring loudly from the TV and wondering why the show was on at that time/what channel/what the heck?!!! Hahaha…He still treasures the gift – 6 years on…and we always go back to watching the episodes on rainy Sunday afternoons…after all what is love if it cant make you laugh?

A few years ago, I gave my then boyfriend (now husband) a soap dispenser to be mounted in the shower….I bot it online. he cracked up when he opened it, and he more than LOVED it!!..doesnt sound whacky??well it was a soap dispenser in the shape of boobs, where you squeeze to dispense shower gel :D

A Bookmark, that was the only thing I could afford during my College days. As I knew he loved reading , thought that he might like it. I knew it was not a great gift but my valentine cracked open laughing after opening his gift. He loved it eventually…….he better did.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Well this is surely the craziest gift I have even given. I gifted Viagra to my husband on my first Valentine’s after marriage. Unluckily, I got sick on the day of Valentine’s and doctor prescribed me anti-biotics which made me sleep all the time. My husband was so furious but we still laugh at it now that how he had Viagra and I was sleeping.

okay so its like HE actually kept his life at stake for me while doing a gift, which was that he took my pictures randomly(about which i had no clue,i mean d pics) then he attached the pen-drive full of my pics into the LCD while setting up projector light,two cameras on tripod stand n colored lights . with all this he clicked himself while doing different poses with my photos on the LCD screen( what an idea :)n those were lovely as ever),To my surprise all this setup was done in his parents room,which after sometime he found that parents arrived n were knocking, he managed everything just for me(OMG)! THEN i gifted him all the photos he made by framing them and i captured this moment just like the way he did n that too same way in my parents room!So this was the craziest n loveliest moment n gift of mine n his life….!

I want my valentine to take me to the most beautiful romantic location by a hill side where there is no one except me, him and a soft breeze… There he should have planned a candle light dinner under the star studded moonlight filled open sky and make me eat the most delicious dinner cooked on his own and at the end of the dinner place a beautiful self written love proposal written with chocolate sauce on chilled icecream

Since my boyfriend is a huge beer drinker, I got a photo of him drinking beer printed on a beer mug and beer cans for his birthday. with the caption…’Happy Beer-day’ written. We spent his birthday getting drunk on his personalised beer loot.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
A coffee mug printed with a collage of all candid, stupid, wierd, expressions and wacky & tacky poses like shouting on phone, just out of bed, picking nose, spiked hair style etc etc etc!!!
February 6th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
flying cockroach wrapped in chocolate box….she shouted out aloud and hugged me as tightly as never before ;)
