I have to disagree. $ should be considered appropriate since a lot of $ gets spent 😀
Oh too true :cool::cool:

The cynics amongst us might say there are two appropriate answers though!
My experience is that $ spent on Valentine's Day, or any odd Wednesday, on flowers/jewelry/chocolate/stuffed animals/etc. provides a decent return on investment. If not, perhaps you need a different Valentine.
Thanks for the fun question Steve - and the seven points - which I'll have to cash in to buy something appropriate to the day. 😉

You make a good point but my "Valentine", a.k.a. Mrs Varga, would rather not support shareholders in card companies and me purchasing, usually overpriced, flowers on the day that has been designated as the socially accepted commercialised day to do this. Instead we both prefer random spontaneous purchases of flowers (more frequently than annually) as demonstrations of appreciation and affection of each other (yep, I sometimes receive flowers too).
My wife is contrary. So, of course, she got me a card and flowers this year. Contrariness is her best/worst trait 😛
What is the best strategy? Socially accepted conformity or personal spontaneity?
The advice can only be...
...it depends!!! :laugh:

:-D:-D
Only the optimistic cynics! 😀 Realist cynics will point out that a $ is not enough to buy anything at Valentine's day rip-off prices :angry:; char(163) would of course be closer to the mark, as it's worth about 67.3% more at current exchange rates :cool:, but I reckon that's still not enough ;-).

I know people who work for Hallmark and I think most of them would agree too!
My wife and I made a pact when we started dating to ignore Valentine's day. We would rather show our appreciation to each other on any other day of the year than on the over-hyped specially designated one.

Enjoyed the question of the day very fun indeed.
