Search Results: present for boyfriend

I'm not materialistic at all and I'm actually not a huge fan of getting gifts, however, I need other people's opinions on a discussion a friend and I were having. Even feeling as if a lot of holidays are just commercialized and are just meant to make sales on flowers and presents, I would get upset if the guy I'm seeing doesn't do something for, say, Valentine's Day (since it's coming up). I wouldn't expect a teddy bear the size of my car, a dozen roses, and dinner at a ridiculously expensive restaurant, but maybe a card and having the two of us make dinner together would be absolutely perfect. My friend feels as if it's not a big deal if a boyfriend or girlfriend chooses not to do something for you on holidays, citing the fact that most couples show their appreciation for each other on a regular basis and it isn't necessary to give each other special treatment on holidays. I still would be sad if my guy didn't even acknowledge that it was a special day. I'm wondering how other people feel about this.
