Anyone know some good affordable bonus trinkets from Amazon?
So far my plan is to buy like 8 different stuffed animals, some chocolate, flowers, and balloons.
KEY ELEMENT: its gotta look cluttered almost over the top. My goal is to spend less than 80$ but to make it visually feel like I spent hundreds and I want to come to her door just overloaded with gifts to an almost comical degree.
I think one annoyingly jumbo sized big bear, 2 medium stuffed bears or animals, this random stuffed frog I have with a bored grin on its face, a horse with sunglasses, heart shaped box of chocolates, at least 3 floating heart balloons, a cliche dozen roses, maybe some sort of basket too.
Again, the point is for it too look suuuuper cluttered when she first sees me.
Then we will have dinner at some unique fancy greek restaurant with live music and belly dancing and all that.
Anyone have any more good ideas for something V-Day related that takes up a lot of space but is affordable?

Speaking of pops...
Giant chupa chup. Because yes.0 -
A $15 DVD-R/RW of no name brand whatsoever? Oh, wait, that's what my honey said he's getting me. Yeah...I don't like secrets!
I really like the idea of the gold coin chocolates. Yummy! Maybe as many coins as the years (or if the relationship isn't that old, months) you've been together so far.
Or an Edible Arrangement. I love the fruit boquets! Yummy and healthy at the same time!0 -

hmmm only 24$
but also 24$ shipping.
I like the concept a lot tho. Would be nice to have in the bundle. Maybe if I can find it in a candy store locally.0 -

Do something cheesy, like take a **** ton of sticky notes and write something you love about her on each one and stick them all over your "display." She'll freaking love them, and it will definitely help with the "cluttered" look!!!0

Some cute girly crown thing (like the one with fake pink fur and plastic diamonds) put it on her head while she opens your gifts. Also, you can buy a bunch of neclaces and whatnot from places like forever21 for like 30 bucks or less (like you can get 2 or 3)
tons of balloons! Blow 'em up and give her a ton!0 -
From reading your posts, I thought you'd want to give something like this:

Ohh great idea for the cluttered look. I will test that out and see how aesthetic it looks. Maybe bright red notes will work!0 -

If my husband gave me stuffed animals and/or balloons I would be FURIOUS at the waste of money. There's nothing to do with those things except throw them out! Chocolates, dinner out at a decent restaurant, and a great time in bed. That's the best possible gift, IMHO. In fact, I'd be willing to skip the chocolates and dinner...0 -
All that stuff won't get her turned on, it'll have the opposite effect. You're buying her crap she doesn't need in exchange for sex.
Instead, lead her someplace fun and make a good memory.0 -

So making a woman laugh is not a good thing?0 -

That won't make her laugh... she'll say "How could you spend money on this nonsense?? Are you nuts?"0 -

nope, the way to a woman's hoo ha is through your wallet...0 -
Make her something. Instead of buying cheap plastic crap which she will feel obligated to keep (and which will clutter up her life), make her something she will actually want to keep. Or make her dinner, take her somewhere that is memorable to the both of you and that meant something to your relationship. Spend quality time with her. Unless she is vapid and insecure....then go with your plan.0

i never understood why guys give stuffed animals for V-day unless they're dating a 14 year old.
i agree with leading muscle, buying candy and flowers is pretty uninspired. for the same amount of money, why not take her to a comedy show, or take a dancing class and later go dancing, or a cooking class and cook a fab dinner for her?0 -

ummmm do you get my joke though? Get it? Its like a caricature of V-Day gifts. The more cliche my arsenal the more funny it will be. Then later on the phone with her friends she's like "OMG guess what my boyfriend did for Valentines day loool"
Also we are not married, money is not a factor.0 -
