We've been busy stamping away our Valentine's Day orders. There are lots of people who have shopped online to get their partner something special this Valentine's Day. Our sterling silver hand stamped WILLIAM cufflinks have proven to be one of more popular gift for the men and the AUDREY pendant is a stand out favourite for a gift for the girls.
Now, if you're anything like me, I've never received a Valentine's Day gift and I don't think I've even received a bunch of flowers on the day. It was bk (before kids) that a bunch of flowers would arrive, but as far as a Valentine's Day gift.... Nope not ever! My husband, is a Valentine's day non-believer!
Anyway, because we know there are people out there who would love a Valentine's Day gift (like myself) The koolaman team have decided to give away a handstamped silver pendant with silver chain and a hand stamped silver set of cufflinks to two very lucky people.
A set of the WILLIAM cufflinks and an AUDREY pendant and chain and if you're like me, the only way to receive a Valentine's Day gift is to buy it or win it yourself!
Tell us what you're going to do this Valentine's Day, a special gift you'd like to receive or give or perhaps (just to make the Valentineless people like myself envious) a special Valentine's Day treat or surprise someone's given you! Or even just a few words to describe your Valentine!
Giveaway is open to Aussie residents only and closes at 11pm on Monday 14th February 2011. Winner drawn at random. One entry per person please. If you don't have a Google ID just leave it as anonymous and your contact details.
I have never really gotten into valentine's day, husband says he shouldn't be told when to celebrate our love :(
ReplyDeleteMy husband works away 3 weeks every month and it's just my luck he leaves again today so I have bought him a Mrs Fields Cookie Card so he can take it with him and enjoy the cookie....now if only he believed in Valentines Day I'd be a happy girl!
ReplyDeleteMy husband like most now does not believe in valentines day, he did Bk (before kids). He says that Valentines day is for the newly in love not the long term committed people.
ReplyDeletemy hubbys doesnt believe in valentines day, and thats the way it will probably stay but he does the sweetest little things through out the year that after 17 years I know i dont need a day to show our love

Being 23 weeks pregnant, having a beautiful 2.5 yr old daughter to spend every day with, and a wonderful husband to greet every evening when he comes home from work, makes me very happy and my life filled with love everyday. However it would be the icing on the cake to win this gorgeous pendant for valentines day to always remind me of how lucky I am!
ReplyDeletenever seen a bunch of flowers on this day, but wold be happy for a life time to have a pendant on this day!
ReplyDeleteNo valentines celebrations for us either since those pre-marriage & kids days. However, today our oldest heads to pre-school for the first time and then this evening we are having family photos done, so a huge day for us. So today I would love to see my daughter head off with a smile and to have fun with the photos. A gift would be a wonderful and unexpected pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI BELIEVE than you and your loved ones should do special things for each other everyday... Wearing a beautiful KOOLAMAN designed piece would be a great reminder of the people that love you and are loved by you. To have them close to your heart! Now that would be an awesome valentines gift to treasure...everyday!

We don't do valentines gifts but tonight I will make us (Partner, Myself{13 weeks pregnant today} + 17 month old) a special dinner, I've made a card for him and just spend some time together <3 as a family
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I began our marrisge with a 'his and mine', 7 year since he propose today and now we have 'His, mine and 2 ours!'. Life is so busy and as I got up to go for my walk just before 6 this morning I was pleasantly surprised with he came and wished me Happy Valentines and Happy Anniversary of our engagement!!! That was gift enough at the time of the day.....don't tell him but I forgot! He is also organising to take me out for dinner!!!

My hubby of almost 10yrs has a huge heart and has tried to be the romantic type but not quite hitting the mark. We are blessed with a beautiful son and hope that the baby gods smile on us once more. To have a koolaman design would be a great surprise and I would be truely grateful.
ReplyDeleteEvery year my husband and I have a $5 budget to buy a Valentines present for each other. It's not much (we can't afford much! LOL), but it certainly makes you think about what the other person would like.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time ever, I've been told to stay home and wait for a delivery! I haven't even seen a bunch of flowers since i had my son 2 and a half years ago! I can't tell you how excited I am :) We're due to have another little boy in 11 days and I have the most wonderful husband, I'm so happy! would love a pendent to show everyone how much I love my boys!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year that my hubby and I have decided we are not buying for each other, as we are in the middle of saving for our first interstate family holiday, which is far more important!
ReplyDeleteMy children seem to just love valentines day, so I did some valentines day craft with them a few days ago and now we have lots of lovely hearts stuck on the wall! We also have a valentines day scavenger hunt prepared (fans of Jon and Kate Plus 8 will know that I borrowed the idea from there). Lots of heart shaped clues which lead the children from room to room and eventually to a 'box of love' filled with some random bibs and bobs (stickers/hotwheels car/balloons/choc coins).

My husband is a 'practical' romantic! While he always gives me plenty of affection and love, he has no idea when it comes to gifts! While my girlfriends were getting chocolates, rings and flowers... I got dogfood! He worked for a dogfood factory and because I had two dogs he thought it would be a lot more practical! (I guess it was - but I turned a crimson red when friends asked me if I got anything for Valentine's Day!!) :)
ReplyDeletevallentines day is special to my husband and I, today was the day of our first date! We watched a thiller movie and he cooked me an awesome meal, if we changed the movie to a comedy that would be perfect! He bought me a beautiful BIG card and a chocolate rose (which our daughter ate) which was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Vallentines Day
'Been there, done that' with all things Valentines Day. No gift, fancy dinner, flowers or card compare to truly knowing you've the love of a good man. I'd prefer daily acts of love and to hold close the beautiful baby boy we created together. Valentines Day for me is just another day, but also a chance to be mindful and grateful for all my blessings. Happy Valentines Day to all.

We are so lucky and practical we never have to wait for a date on the calendar to celebrate! The kids have decorated our wire theme tree with hearts cut out from Miss 4's paintings and made heart shaped gingerbread for the teachers.
ReplyDeleteValentines Day, please explain..... I don't ever remember getting anything from hubby as he is a non-believer. My 4 kids did make me a card on the weekend though so that was nice. Would love to get something for 'ME' though.

My husband being a farmer is very practical and pretends he does not believe in it although every year he hand picks a small bunch of roses from our garden. If he has left early they are usually place on the kitchen bench (not in a vase or water) and it is the best Valentine gift I could ever receive. I also have 3 little boys and sometimes little goodies come home from school which brightens my day xx Thanks for the giveaway

This will be our first Valentine's Day since being engaged. I usually get a lovely bunch of flowers & I get my man a card so I can tell him how much I love him. It would be wonderful to include our two boys this year with a gorgeous permanent reminder of how beautiful our little family is!

This year all I want for Valentine's Day is for my first baby to arrive (we're due on Feb 20th). As my husband left for work today he said "I was expecting your gift to arrive today but it could be delayed anything up to 2 weeks". He has predicted all along that our little one will make his grand entrance as a Valentine's Day Baby. Fingers crossed ... we've still got time!!
ReplyDeleteAs I am a single mother, I will be cherishing the love my children give to me this valentines day... :)

Hubby is away working for 4 weeks so it was a text msg this morning - wonder if I will get one back? Kids and I are going to make some chocolates after school today as they are just as much my Valentines as my husband is. Will probably skpe Daddy tonight to tell how much we all love him and miss him and show him the chocolates we have made (if there's any left by that time) hehe

My husband and I met on valentines day in 1998! Wow! I can't believe it is that long ago! We have been blessed with 3 gorgeous little ones. My husband doesn't believe in valentines day (which seems to be common) so will just make a nice dinner for all of us and spend time together as a family and be thankful for what we have, rather than wishing there was more romance.!
ReplyDeleteI always tell my husband I don't want him to 'waste' money on flowers, I never seem to find the time to really enjoy them as I am so busy with the three little ones. The only time I ever got flowers was on our wedding day and the day I arrived in Australia to move here. Sneakily I would love him to surprise me today with a bunch of tulips, to remind me of my home country Holland, and to recognise the day I arrived here to marry him. But I'm afraid it is not going to happen as he already forgot it was Valentine's Day all together!

My husband doesn't do something for me every Valentines Day. He picks and chooses so that he can get the element of surprise! Flowers, dinner or a foot massage, its the littlest things that make me smile :)
ReplyDeleteIve been with my husband 4 years now and all ive ever wanted it a bunch of flowers "they just die thought" he always says, i dont care while they are alive they are beautiful. I got my first (and only) valentines present last year....... they were red but not in the slightet romantic, a pair of knipex (fencing pliers). So that i could cut the wire without dificulty. I no its the thought that counts but i would love a romantic valentines gift one day.
ReplyDeletebillandshirralee@bigpond.com
My husband and I got married on VDay three years ago. We now have a baby boy william. Today he is drenching sheep on the farm and will come home filthy. I got the the most beutiful bunch of roses.... That i got for myself while at the markets. And this year I have failed to get my darling husband anything. So it will be a hot bath and cold beer waiting for him when he gets home and I will get started on his favourite dinner. I am a hopeless romantic and love any excuse to spoil my best friend.

Valentines day started with our 4 week old vomiting down the front of my pjs at 2am (nothing like a little spew to say "I love You Mummy") followed by my 2 yo screaming as she had thrown her dummy out of her cot for the third time that night then we spent the morning in a haze of nappies, weetbix and more vomit....nothing glam or differrent about today!!EXCEPT that my LIFE is PERFECT in every single way!! and when I get a spare moment(around 8pm tonight) when my babies are soundly sleeping, I will lift my feet up onto my hubby and he will give me a little foot massage and ask me about my day, I will whisper "Happy Valentines baby" and he will smile and say it back( feeling relieved that we BOTH forgot it 'til now)......as we fall asleep on the couch :)

We don't go crazy for Valentines Day here but as a sign of my love (and my warped sense of humour) I sent Hubby off to work today with a pink cupcake with pink flowers and hearts on it. Can't wait till he sees it ........ hee hee hee and his work mates too :p
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe that we should share the love every day. It will be the usual Monday at our house, but I would love to win a Koolaman Pendant!
ReplyDeleteI'm spending Valentines Day home with my two little sick boys who have been kind enough to share their germs with me. My husband is coming home from work tonight to cook us a lovely tea though. Might pop out somewhere when he gets home to get a nice bottle of wine to have with it :) lisa_inglis@aapt.net.au
ReplyDeleteValentines Day....
ReplyDeleteAltho my hubby and i dont exchange gifts or go out for tea on this day, Everyday feels like Valentines day to me, My hubby helps out around and inside the house wherever he can after he comes home from a long day at work, and surprises me with special little things every now and then! And my 3 beautiful kiddies also help me feel the LOVE everyday of the year! :-)
With 4 year old Matilda at pre-school today, it's just my 2 year old main man Toby and me this Valentines Day. No pressie or flowers for me today...but plenty of cuddles and kisses!!!
ReplyDeleteThis year we have decided to not worry about "celebrating" the love on Valentines. We have been flood affected and to top it off my nan, 86, is in hospital and it doesn't look good for her.. SO rather be selfish & have just this one day we are loving all those around us and sharing love with those that have none. I am a busy mum of 4 kids and work 30 hours a week to help make ends meet..Kellyparker@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteA week or two in the Maldives would be great, but having 3 children under 5 all Valentines ideas of holidays / gifts / dinners do not happen any more! Here is hoping we can get the boys into bed relatively early and have enough energy to just relax for a little while this evening. :-)

ReplyDeletewith 4 kids under 6 we find it a bit hard to do any thing special for Valentines day and with money being a bit tight i decided that this year i am going to make my hubby some strawberry and cream heart shape cupcakes....simple, cheap and best of all made with love xx

My husband is my dream guy. For me it is 'the little things' that keep the romance alive such as him always putting a flower from our garden in the vase in our ensuite, and him buying me a magazine so that I can sit down and relax for an hour. I am so lucky to have him, he is the perfect one to share my life with. Next year is our ten year anniversary and our friends and family say that we still act like newlyweds.

ReplyDeleteMy Valentine's day is driving the kids to school, picking them up from school, driving them to their after school activities and then home in time to cook a tasty family meal with lots of vegies to start the week off with, and with some luck my husband and I may be able to sit down after that and have a proper conversation. All in a days work....
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day - oh this is a fun giveaway! We're not planning anything special but being a Monday my Jazzercise class is on and as a treat they are allowing our partners to come along and do the 1hr fitness class with us so Im dragging my hubby to my excercise class so we'll sweat it out together!!
ReplyDeleteFor us, Valentine's Day is another day to share with the family. We do not exchange gifts, but my daughter and I are going to bake a huge heart shaped pavlova.... her daddy's favourite dessert, covered in whipped cream and peppermint crisp... YUM! That is our special sweet treat made with love especially for him! xxx
ReplyDeleteNot something we celebrate as such, because it is my brother's birthday and he is the hardest man in Australia to buy for! Although as a newly single dad with two gorgeous kids I am sure your beautiful cuff links would do the trick for him!!

ReplyDeleteI always used to buy my husband a present. Then after not receiving one back for a few years I stopped buying him something also.

Well, we tend to have a low key Valentine's Day. No gifts we are not real belivers in it all, not that I wonder if the florist van is going to turn up!!!! However, I will talk about my valentine. Paul is an amazing husband and father. We had a surprise third pregnancy which turned into twins which meant by the time the twins arrived we had four under five! Crazy Crazy times, but my husband has always been an amazing support and has always given me time out and I know I would never be able to cope without him. Happy Valentines Day!!!!

ReplyDeleteIsn't doing the school drop off, taking the Middle Child for swimming lessons and then later in the afternoon taking the Oldest One to swimming after school, what everyone does on Valentine's Day?!
ReplyDeleteIt's just an average Monday here at the Harvey house!
What I would love to receive though would be a night out with my husband, just a normal night - dinner and a movie maybe? Or really treat ourselves and finally make it to Cloudland...
One day! :)
In 12 years that my husband I have been together we have never exhanged presents. I have always given a card and I have never got one in return! Today for the first time in 12 years he rang me to tell me he loved me! First time in 12 years on valentines day! Tonight I am attending the kinder committee meeting, loads of romance there! LOL

ReplyDeletemy eldest had his first day at preschool, so my daughter and i have spent valentines day so far by ourselves, but now DS is home, hubby should be home soon, i'm having a scrummy dinner cooked for me and there is a bottle of wine in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteand a bit about my valentine. he is, at the current time, working 2 jobs to keep our little family of 4 above water. we've had a major debt come up against (which wasn't our fault, but you can't argue against the defence force) which is being taken at THEIR rate of pay (so $350 a fortnight, which has put us under). hubby is now working 5 days a week at his fulltime job and is working at least 20 hours a week delivering pizzas. so, unfortunately valentines day this year has been extremely low key. but, we're all happy and healthy, which is all that matters
My husband doesnt do anything for valentines day either ~ it would be nice but i consider everyday to be a good day. My husband does all my housework - washing, ironing, cleaning etc.. All i have to do is cook! So I am lucky enough to be treated everyday!! :)
ReplyDeleteI never really get to celebrate valentines day since having children, all effort is always towards them. This year my husband surprised me with taking a day off of work to be home with me and help with the kids swimming lessons. However instead of being a day enjoying just being a family, we've had to endure a sick child with a temp of 39, cool baths to keep it down until a trip to the doctor and chemist.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't want to win the koolaman necklace for myself, but for my sister. She has never received a Valentines gift, card or anything. She is currently pregnant with her 4th child and dedicates her life to her children and partner. She would do anything for them, give up anything for them. She couldnt be more deserving of a Koolaman necklace and I would love to be able to present her with this gift if I were to win.

Once again...my husband and I are not together for Valentines Day - not that it would make a difference! So today our daughters (aged two and four) and I have been doing "horsey" things - and some practice for upcoming gymkhanas. Perhaps not overly romantic...but not a bad day!

My fiancée works in the mines and is on night shift and didn't know that you could order flowers to be delivered!!! But I managed to get a Happy Valentines Day text message :)
ReplyDeleteWell hubby, like most others by the sound of it, doesnt really get into the spirit of Valentine's Day anymore!! But my 5 year old son gave me a kiss this morning to wish me Happy Valentine's Day and told me I was "The best girl in the world"!! What more could you want =)

We don't do anything for V day but my husband always purchases the Aust Country Musical Fesitval winners CD each year for me as my birthday is only three days later. I love this music and it's the small things that count. It would be nice to win this as an extra special V day and B day pressie.

My husband was away from home this morning,and we dont buy gifts for one another on valentines day, but I normally get a single rose from my own garden.. priceless!! The valentine wishes from my four beautiful children were so special :)

We have never celebrated Valentines day in 12 years of marriage as hubby is not the romantic type. However one can always dream of a lovely bunch of flowers cant they? Hubby does lots of things to help out at home and he is a loving and kind man. Happy Valentines to all couples and lovers everywhere.

i received a bunch of flowers the first valentines day we were together, oh young love is grand. I had no idea though that bunch were meant to last for every valentines day since, but i do get reminded "i bought you a bunch of flowers already". Lucky love knows no bounds, and a cuddle an a kiss is enough to make me feel special.

After rolling over and whispering in my ear 'Happy Valentines Day my love' at 4.30am this morning, my hubby left for New Zealand for the week...(so guess i couldnt be upset that he had woken me from my deep slumber)...I am just greatful that I have someone to wake up with every morning! Whether it be my husband or one of the kids.....oh and the perfect Valentines Day gift.....an AUDREY pendant of course...I could only dream for that...thanks for the opportunity to win one. :)

We made a pact when we married not to acknowledge, birthdays, anniversaries, valentines etc with a gift. Rather each year we like to purchase a piece of art. A lovely sentiment, but of course since our daughter was born - we don't buy the art either! Spent the day working together, it truly is very special to work with your husband and best friend side by side each day. Looking forward to a lovely meal together, child has been bathed and in bed by 5pm!
ReplyDeleteWell last night i made hubby's lunch for him and stuck a little heart chocolate on it, then i put some more heart chocolates in his cereal bowl along with a little love note, next to his cereal bowl i put a block of his fav chocolate and also an i-tunes gift card...he found it this morning, said thanks, gave me a kiss and left for work...sigh...one day i will get somthing in return :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines day! Well my day consisted of a handmade card from the 2 loves of my life! The hubbie and my 10mth old.. Hubbie unleashed his inner craftiness and got the paint out and attempted! to get my son to draw a pic of a heart with his finger... lets just say its the thought that counts! :) don't think 10mth olds know too much about painting love hearts just yet!

With 3 children under 6 and another on the way, we dont get time for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI love everything my husband does for me to make sure the kids and I are looked after, but he is a hopeless romantic!
No gifts here, we don't bother with that, but I did get some nice flowers and I made chocolate cupcakes decorated with love hearts for us and our girls x
ReplyDeleteThis year my Valentines day has been the first day at home with my newborn and his big brother! What a day for my hubby to pick to go back to work!

We don't celebrate Valentines day but do celebrate everyday that we are together with our two gorgeous children. Why wait for one day each year to declare how much you love and cherish your life partner.......for us it is every day and to be able to wear a gorgeous unique Audrey pendant every day would be a special reminder of our everlasting and growing love.

Marriage and romance don;t always go hand in hand I have now discovered since our wedding 10 years ago. My husbend always says that our 3 children are the best gift he can ever give me so why try and top it. So another words that means no birthday present, no christmas present, no mothers day present and no valentines present. I can always live and hope that one day there maybe something waiting for me but I won;t hold me breath :-)
ReplyDeleteI have another husband that says he doesn't believe in Valentines Day, but I got I text to say how much he loves me and a packet of my fav chocolates and that is all I need. Just knowing that i am his everything and he is mine and that we have a beautiful daughter and baby on the way is enough for me. Love you forever M.B.

No cards or flowers, but we've just shared a box of Lindt chocolates that I bought on special.

It's a whole family affair - any excuse to share the love with my Valentine & the Valentinies (2 kids- 4 & 6). Hand made cards, choccies all round & flowers pinched along the fence line on the walk home from school..........

My husband asked me to marry him on Valentines day. I'm not quite sure that he knew what day it was, because he's never acknowledged the day since!! I always by a card and this year did a love voucher.......a dinner out for just the two of us and to have the kids babysat......i figure that even if he doesn't do it, i'm going to acknowledge the day without spending heaps.
ReplyDeletemhiemstra@optusnet.com.au
Nothing special planned tonight, we are both too exhausted and we aren't one for presents normally.
ReplyDeleteBut the highlight of the day was Miss 3½ on the way home from playgroup where she made a V card for Daddy and her Brother.
This is how the conversation went;
Taylor "I don't want to give this card to Daddy and Jobe, I don't love them. I love someone in the sky, far off in the distance" Me "Who is that Taylor?" Taylor "Santa Claus and Mrs Santa" poor Daddy and Jobe lol

I got THE BEST Valentines pressie ever this year - the divine Audrey necklace (Thanks ladies). I would love to surprise my delicious hubby back with a set of cufflinks. He is an accountant and wears a suit ever day. He whinges constantly about having to wear a suit all the time, but I am sure he would like it a lot more if he could carry his family on his sleeve! I hope you ladies got spoilt this year!

Spent the day cleaning my 40 square home working my butt off, bleached the floors, cleaned two bathrooms, vacuumed, dusted, changed the sheets on 5 double beds, washed all the linen, washed for the kids and hubby, took kids to swimming, dancing classes, cooked dinner, bath kids...totally exhausted ...Hubby comes home and doesn't even notice how spick and span everything is BUT if I had been at work all day and come home to all this done it would have been a dream Valentines day for me - think I speak for every Mum out there - just jumping into fresh sheets at the end of the day would be enough to make my day perfect (ones that i hadn't change for once) !!!!! Domestic blindness would be bliss...
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day to all...A perfect pendant to show the love for my family and them to me would also be perfect! xxxxx
