Since my boyfriend and I were at the beginning of our relationship (maybe one, two weeks max)I wasn't sure where we stood, and if I should get him anything. So for a week, I would flip-flop between yes and no. On Valentine's Day, I figured that I should, so I went out to buy a box of chocolates and a leash(for him to use, not wear). I got the chocolates no problem. When I went to get the leash, I got on the wrong bus, got back five minutes before he came over, and had no leash. So the next day, I hit up the day after sales, and got him a pair of boxers with hearts and a PS2 controller.]]>Feb 1st 2007 10:36AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/Feb 1st 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/Feb 1st 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/

Best present I ever received. I never did figure out how she set up something so elaborate without me knowing.]]>Feb 2nd 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/Feb 4th 2007 12:52AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/Feb 7th 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/Feb 7th 2007 2:10PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/http://www.luxist.com/2007/02/01/luxist-giveaway-just-in-case-condom-compact/
Her and I went and did some of our Christmas shopping together, so I got a feel for what she liked gift-wise, and with that I started my gift giving. Instead of just going to her place and watching a movie, like we had planned, I called her about 2 hours before I was supposed to get there, and told her to get dressed, cause we were going out to dinner at this little out-of-the-way place I know in downtown Pittsburgh. I arrive at her door with a dozen roses - well, a baker's dozen actually. I had ordered a preserved rose tipped in gold (before they were available everywhere online) from a place in Texas and took it to the florist to have it as the centerpiece of a bouquet of a dozen real roses. The thud from her jaw hitting the floor could have been heard for miles. Hehe.

She takes her time putting the roses in water before we leave for dinner, but as we're walking to the car I conveniently drop my keys so she can get in the car first - because her second gift was waiting on her seat - I had driven about 40 miles from my place to go to her favorite candle store (Illuminations) and got her her favorite candle, an amazing vanilla-scented deal... not expensive, but her favorite. Of course, I get a huge hug before she even gets into the car.

We get downtown for dinner, get seated immediately, and she unfolds her napkin to find a jewelry box - I had dropped it off there earlier in the day so it could be placed before we got there. It was nothing extremely expensive, just a small necklace with her birthstone in it, however, I had spent like 3 weeks on the phone and faxing a goldsmith in California designing it myself (I still have the sketches to prove it). We never did end up dating or anything, but she reminds me every year how that Valentine's Day was the best she's ever had, and that I sorta ruined her expectations of how guys should treat her on that day.]]>Feb 8th 2007 10:44PM
