Do you get your better half V day presents?

  Just wondering about this, cause the whole meaning of the day seems to be diluted into a box of coco, some flowers and a real ex dinner (some still got $$$$ presents to boot!).
  
  I've followed the trend myself when I was younger, but now it just seems sooo.... pointless. Everything is mark-up for the occasion, and the whole thing seems more for the retail sector than anything else.
  
  These days I just get my wife a gift, if I see something she'll like (and I can afford). But won't wait till a pre-determind date that someone (whom I don't know) sayz, it's the day to let your someone knows you love him/her.
