A pack of IOUS – IOU a massage, IOU doing the washing up, IOU a night out without complaining about the expense, IOU a cup of tea whenever you ask for it, even if I’m asleep in bed. Then I can cash them in at any time during the rest of the year
Presents are great – but I think saying something romantic and heartfelt is the best gift you can give …or a foot rub! lol Xx

The ideal present for my OH would be a card saying he should spend an extra night a week on his hobby. (I wouldn’t mention, of course, that that would give me an extra evening on my hobby as well!).

An ideal Valentine’s prezzie for my hubby would be a Man Utd season ticket.

My present to my OH would be ME – wrapped in nothing but a red ribbon, with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a Chinese takeaway in the other. Children – at their Grandma’s; Phones – switched off; Football – well, it is Valentine’s, so I suppose an extra present after the main one wouldn’t hurt

My present would be to cover him top to toe in Chocolate and he can lie back and enjoy me ravishing every square inch

The ideal present for my partner would be a relaxing break.
He’s a policeman, in the territorial army, go’s to tai jitsu once a week and works out in the gym and swims 3 times a week.
He hardly ever has any spare time and sometimes gets very stressed. Something like a mini break or spa day would be fab.

The best thing be a romantic evening out, without the kids, leaving the house spotless before we left and being able to have our favourite meal, good wine and a really nice time. And then having a cuddle together in the back of a car as we’re taxied home!

following and retweeted on twitter! would love to win these for valentines!
its sad but true, i have no man to buy a pressie for (sob) so will do the best pressie for me instead if that’s ok?
i would love to be taken away from the madhouse that is our house – having to move back in with my parents and my two step-siblings leaves me with no privacy or quiet time so i would love maybe a quiet night away in a hotel or even a sleepover (wink wink)
A cosy cottage for the weekend in the highlands of Scotland with a roaring fire, he would spend the day fly fishing on a nearby loch, I would pamper myself all day. Then have a romantic dinner for two, candles, wine and salmon (bought of course because he never catches a thing!)

I think a fantastic presant would be setting up a camera on timer and taking tasteful yet sext photos of the both of you together, its fun, and exciting and a great giggle. Then pick a special one and frame it for them. x twitter @jessbatfink x
claireG seems like we both need a break sounds like a good plan to get away from it all
Champagne on me lol
Weather pending it would definitely be agreeing to trust him at last to throw me off a hill with him attached..oh and a paraglider. Thank goodness he would be there behind me giving me a quick pat of reassurance every so often since I have a massive fear of heights. I would do this for no other. Obviously we would have to either land near a suitably romantic cosy coal fire warmed pub or be prepared with a winter picnic and a hipflask of rejuvanating brandy to revive me…a kiss might work too.

The Ideal Valentines pressy for my other half would be an overnight hotel stay with tickets to Beaulieu motor museum.

The ideal present for my husband this year would be a laptop or iPhone. He has just been relocated with his job and currently staying in rented accommodation. Working such long hours leaves little time for looking for a property so internet access would make it a lot easier and maybe then weekends we could have proper family time. Tweeted @blackthornbest
I don’t really care about prezzies, i’m looking forward to a nice meal with my Hubby. Valentines day is also are wedding anniversary:O)

If money was no object, I know he’d love something gadgety, but on a budget? Think he’d like time together, a quiet evening in with no phones, or email, and definitely no twitter!

I’d hire a Aston Martin, one of the one’s that James Bond drives.(my husband’s mad about that car )Then i’d get him to drive us to a luxury hotel in the country. The room would have a Jacuzzi where we would drink Champagne, before getting changed, him into a James bond suit and me in a slinky bond girl dress. we would go down to dinner and have a pre dinner drink of Martini’s shaken not stirred of course ,then dine in a Michelin star restaurant . Well i can dream !

I would love just me and him to spend the night together it does not matter where even in the house and have a romantic dinner without our 4 children who have never been away from us or babysitted in 12 years.
I have seen the perfect present for me – a heart shaped hot water bottle! I told my husband he needed to get it so he doesn’t moan about my cold feet. As for his present I will book us a night in a B & B!
I read the wifes magazine the other day and saw an article entitled ‘How to know what’s going through the man in your lifes mind as hes choosing your present.’
It was a surprisingly long article, which at no point featured the words, “This’ll do! A giant box of chocs, Sorted!”

A day out on our own, with my Mother looking after our son. We could mooch around without constantly hearing “I’m bored”, could eat where we wanted, could stop and have a coffee and just watch the world go by without constant interruption and just please ourselves for once. Dinner in a nice restaurant to finish the day with a nice bottle of wine without having to think “No, can’t have another glass, what if….”. Bliss.
Its a bit of a long shot but id get him an ipad Ive learnt that the way to this mans heart is through his gadgets!

Bored of my husband complaining about his odd, old or holey socks I have bought him eight new pairs (and will very much enjoy throwing the others away)!! To make the gesture somewhat romantic I have got creative with pins, cellophane and a big red bow to fashion a ‘sock bouquet’ which I will present on Valentine’s morning! I am hoping my thoughtful gift will show how much I care or, failing that, at least keep his feet warm!
Have tweeted @annieanna24
My husbands ideal Valentines present would have to be something fast paced, he’s a bit of an adrenaline freak so a Sky Dive, Bungee Jump or Power Boat Racing would really get his heart racing…. Literally!
Thank you for such a wonderful competition, following and retweeting too @dannclan
the ideal present would be an app that buzzes every 10 minutes to tell him when Valentines Day is and to remind him to get the card, flowers and chocs. He’s useless at that!
oops – tweeted as humanb3an
My present to my OH would be me waiting hand on foot on him as he lays on the sofa watching football all day. Beers on tap, snacks on hand, with the odd snog thrown in at half time!
My ideal valentines present this year would be a great nights sleep. I have just had surgery on my stomach & I have to sleep on my back, not what I am used to! So maybe one of those full body pillows, so that I can get comfy on my side. I would be blown away if I got a good nights sleepp for valentines day!
Teeted too @finleypoppet
amazing comp !

I’d love to win this
My ideal gift would be a day at home with my beautiful wife and children
An Android phone, so we can be in close contact all the time.
I’ve retweeted, my username is @Ianthesunlover.
That’s a very good question, 4UDating
For my Valentine, what would the ideal present be?
On that I’m pondering and debating
A lovely weekend away, maybe?
A weekend in Paris with my Valentine
Would be absolutely great
Romance and fun, we’ll wine and dine
We’ll each have a spring in our gait
Mon amor and I shall see the Louvre first
To the Mona Lisa we’ll say hello
In French culture we shall be immersed
Then time for a glass of Bordeaux
A couple of croissants later
To the Champs Elysees for to shop
Buying souvenirs with no translator
Oh dear, my french sucks, fullstop.
The gothic gargoyles of Notre Dame
And a train ride to Versailles
To all this beauty we will succumb
Loving this adventure, we cannot deny
Thru’ the Arc De Triomphe, seeing the sunset
Then to the lit Eiffel Tower, high atop
Our gaze sweeping around like a roulette
Excitement in our blood, nonstop!
Spending the weekend together, bliss
In the beautiful city of love
At 900 feet, my sweetheart and I kiss
Not exactly Mile High Club, but kind of ;o)
Back to the hotel, to freshen up and get glam
Sipping cocktails and listening to jazz
My baby’s arms around me, damn
There’s no one like him or half as good as
Romance, thick in the air as along the Seine
We take a candlelit dinner cruise
My gorgeous Valentine kisses me again
And in his deep blue eyes, my soul I lose
Unfortunately this is just a dream
The perfect Valentine’s gift for sure
If I could afford it, on my face, a beam
Would be fab to treat the man I adore
Sadly I don’t have much money
So I’ll get him a card and Simpsons socks
Unless, 4UDating, you favour this poor bunny
And send me the champers and chocs
We’ll enjoy them on the sofa, together
While watching a rom-com DVD
Bubbly & Thorntons, what could be better
Than snuggling close, my Valentine and me
Thank you for such a fantastic competition! I’m following and retweeting @thunderbirdsGO
The ideal gift would be for me to cook a romantic candlelit dinner for the two of us. Not an unusual idea for some, but as I never cook, he’d think it a wonderful treat.
I am @v82chris forgor to say on my post before xx
Fantastic comp x
My idea of a perfect Valentines gift isn’t something tacky and over the top, nor is it something to break the bank. I wouldn’t care for fancy holidays or diamond rings. Spending Valentines day with the person I love is an amazing feeling, and the best present I could wish for would be a photo album, containing both o our favourite memories together from the past year, with photos, theatre tickets, train tickets etc in, I’d want to receive one every year, to show the build up of our relationship. It’s a thoughtfelt present and would come from he heart.
Heart shaped pancakes wouldn’t go a miss though
The ideal gift for my boyfriend would be tickets to see Spurs play in Europe with a nice overnight stay in a lush hotel x
This can be a matter close to my heart cheers, where are your get in touch with details though?
this is a good way to keep your relationship with your partner. and have fun romantic date ideas also to spice up your relationship
