That's a local company. I've seen some of their work, but have to admit I didn't eat any of it so I can't tell you much but it was pretty cool looking.

My sister and her husband got one at Christmas. The fruit was really good. Not cheap quality.

There's a new one coming soon right down the street from me. I'm considering the Apple Daisy arrangement. I've heard that the quality is really good.

I sent one to my dentist and one to my PCP this Christmas as thank you presents. (Our dental insurance ran out when Ed was laid off--and he worked out ways to really help us. And I LOVE my PCP--who is Ed's too.) These arrangements are very fresh and truly delish.

Be sure to get one with strawberries and dipping chocolate or you will kick yourself!

I WANT A SPA DAY!!! I think any woman would want a spa day!! I want a massage. I've dropped SOOOOO many hints, and he never gives me a spa day!!! Going on 5 years! And he bought HIS MOM a spa package for last Mother's day that she will NEVER use!!!! AAAARGH!!

<Sorry....rant over.>

ETA - ooops, didn't mean to hijack the fruity fun gonig on. I just had to get that "V-day idea" out there into the cosmos, in hopes that SOMEHOW it came back to me....

Those fruit things look AMAZING!!!!!! I could sit in front of the TV with one of those things and pig out!!!

Eeyoreslament, can you put an ad on the fridge or something to get the hint across?

Better yet, Eeyoreslament, just tell him that's what you would like. Some guys don't get the hints.
Lots of luck. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Suz is right, Eeyore. Five years and no spa day? You have to tell him that's what you want! We women only get one day a year to feel like a princess... well, two, if you're lucky enough for him to remember your anniversary, lol - I was smart and hooked up with my man on his birthday, so no forgetting!

He agreed to forfeit all the cash we received for Xmas to buy tickets to Van Morrison. The show is on the 26th, so just after V-day. Seeing Van Morrison is akin to crossing something off my 'life list', whereas his mp3 player is full of hip-hop and rap and weird scratchy noise that some people pass off as 'music', so prolly the best gift I could ask for.

By the way, those fruit baskets look amazing! I'v made what I thought were elaborate watermelon boats, etc. Those are incredible. I love when art and food cross paths.

LOL I was thinking the same thing as Suz, Eeyore. Stop hinting and just tell him. He might hear you hint but then not think about it when a gift giving occassion pops up.

Darren and I talked about it tonight and decided we really don't want or need any presents. We are taking the opportunity of the holiday, since my sis asked us to watch her girls next weekend, to have her watch our kids this Saturday night. We might go out to dinner or we might not.

I got one of the Edible Arrangements for Christmas. I am in what has to be the worst place to get GOOD fresh fruit and this thing tasted amazing! I highly recommend them!

Yep just tell him Eeyore. Or better yet get his credit card and book the day yourself.

The fruit arrangements are wonderful, and the fruit is the best I've ever tasted! It's really sweet and fresh...and the chocolate covered strawberries are to die for.

Hubby asked me what I wanted -> got my car detailed! It's fourteen years old and looks shiny and bright and fantastic! The clean smell is nice, too. My birthday is the day before Valentine's so I rarely get something for both.

Urgrace, that is awesome that you got something that made you so happy! It's always a shame when people have b-days near other gift days. I'm lucky, mine is nowhere near any important date. And if I ever get married, the date will be nowhere near any other important dates either. LOL


As for the boyfriend and hinting: LOL - I've told him, using the words "Oooooh I want a spa day! A massage would be sooooo nice!!" many a time. Unfortunately my tone of voice is a BIT playful, because I've always thought it was bad to actually *demand* a particular gift. I guess that is my mistake.

But after years of saying "I want a spa day" and never getting one, I think I'll have to sit him down, look him in straight in the eye, and say "Valentine's Day is this week, and you will be buying me a spa day, and that spa day MUST have a massage as part of the package."

I've never really been subtle about the hints, and I think he doesn't believe the bold hints, and tends to pick up on the really subtle things that I mention an interest in maybe once in passing, and never care about again. This Xmas he gave me a very expensive yoga gift certificate, and I think I've only ever mentioned a mild interest to him once.

Go figure. LOL

Actually, I'm thinking I'll just have to do it myself. I want to go away with him this year (5 year anniversary) to somewhere HOT and all-inclusive. I'm thinking at the end of April/early-May, so I'll be OK with nothing for Valentines, but commitment to the big trip later.

I work on Valentine's day anyways. Par for the course when you're a waitress.

Truth is Eeyore, my dh usually forgets both, so when he asked I only gave him one answer. It must have suited him, because he set it up right away then asked me if it was okay to be a week ahead of my birthday! LOL I am happy with the results.

Eeyore, just tell the boyfriend that the "only" thing you want is a massage at a spa! If you don't get it for Valentines, go somewhere hot for your anniversary where the room rate includes a spa and massage!

Eeyore - Sandals Nassau, Bahamas couples-only (they have several locations there) is all kinds of awesome for all-inclusive, romantic vacation.

I'm going to get Colossus an appointment at an upscale gentleman's salon for haircut, shave, facial and massage. I'm ready to kill his barber, she takes electric clippers to his hair instead of using scissors. He has a gorgeous full head of black curls, and she cuts them all off. And she's twattish to boot, ragging him out for cancelling appointments when business interferes. But when he needs a haircut on short notice, she's always booked out with a waiting room full of takers. What is it with guys and twelve dollar haircuts? I'll pay the difference, just please come out of there looking like someone other than your mommy or playground friend cut your hair.

I don't care what I get for Valentines, I'm already spoiled rotten from my birthday. Just making progress in the master bath refit makes me happy. The end is in sight. I did notice that he's been busy with the Victoria's Secret catelogues today, though. They've disappeared into his briefcase again, which means I should receive a delivery round abouts Wednesday, LOL.

For general Valentines gifts I send Cheryl's Cookies. They are fantastic, individually wrapped, many options in gift arrangments, and not over-priced. Always a big hit.

We don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Every day is Valentine's Day (or that's the theory). Though I'd really like a Nikon D80 with a macro lens. HAHA

Did you know that barbers and hairdressers are two different things? At least here in Canada they are. My "hair stylist" was telling me that. He's not licensed to use a razor or buzz clippers, and barbers are not licensed hair stylists. Interesting eh? That's why guys can get the same haircut via two different methods. My bf can't walk into my stylist and ask for a 3 clip with a fade.
