Valentines Day question

[scaeagles]

I'm no romantic genius, but I've done OK enough through the years. I try to be creative and non repetitive in my giving of gifts to my wife, and have learned the no-nos (she wouldn't be keen on a new vacuum for V-Day, for example). So I'm looking for something different.

I hear ads for the Vermont Teddy Bear company. I don't know. It seems a bit.....creepy to me to give a woman in her in her late 30s a teddy bear.

Of course, in the interest of surprise, I would not ask my wife if she would want one. Thoughts? Does any grown woman want a teddy bear? I just picture her giving it to my 4 year old daughter and thinking I'm clueless.

There is the pajama-gram, and my wife is a pajama connoisseur, so I am considering that.

You've been listening to conservative talk-radio again, haven't you? I know I've heard those ads for the VTB on either O'Reilly or Hannity.....

It would be sweet, but even better if there was a tennis bracelet weighing down Teddy's paw.


(Of course, Eric would go for the vacuum. I've gotten new faucets for Mother's Day, telephones for Christmas, etc. I gave up on his sorry ass years ago.)

Yep. I guess us conservative males must have a soft spot for our loved ones. Why else would a teddy bear company advertise there?

Or Howard Stern! He's been advertising Vermont Teddy Bears forever, and now, even almost commercial-free on Sirius, he still gives the bears a shout-out. (For the record, I love teddy bears and cute plush toys! I got some darling little Black Lab plush toys as such thoughtful gifts when my beloved snow pea passed away, and they always bring a smile to my face )

If it's Howard-approved, I'm all over it.

Speaking of Howard-approved, he's been advertising this romantic gift a whole bunch lately, even encouraging his female guests to give it, um, a spin:

Nothing says Happy Valentine's Day like a vibrating love saddle complete with attached dildo!

Perhaps, but that would be a hard one to fit in the night table...

Hahaha!

That raises a good question, though.

Where does one store their sybian? (Oh, I feel a new thread topic comin' on!)

Does one place a sybian on the floor before saddlin' up? A chair could be awkward, a bed unsteady.

scaeagles- maybe you could purchase a Vermont Teddy Bear dressed up in little western wear (complete with cowboy hat) and place him on the sybian love saddle as a complete gift package! Everybody wins, no?

Honestly solve that and I'd bet they'd sell a bunch more - perhaps they could fashion the whole piece into something more decorative or furnature like - I'm thinking of those people who collect carrousel horses...

Personally, I'd go for Pajamas. But, I do love me a lovely pair of pajamas.

I get enthralled with little plush things on occasion, but I find they don't hold my interest for very long - except in the case of Berthold, my hippo. I LOVE Berthold.

Somehow, an indulgence in one of the fine botique choclatiers would make me happy. Vosges is one that I adore, but there are others to explore.

But, overall, I'm not a big fan of Valentines Day. I prefer little lovey surprises throughout the year for no other reason than pure love.

Nor am I. I think many hoidays are simply a scam to get people to buy presents for someone. I can post that only because my wife does not read this forum.

I wouldn't buy a "full-size" teddy bear for a grown woman unless she were a plush collector. Bulky and takes up space.

I've gotten my share of adorable plush and I love it. But they're all beany baby size. Bigger stuff is just a pain.
