Both the SO and I also think of those sort of days and 'holidays' are a
crock....... and I go by her Mums motto (about Mothers Day)... if it takes
a highly commercialised 'day' to make you buy me a card and tell me you
love me, you can stick your card.

So, I was buying her the Kindle anyways, it just coincided with VDay, but
arrived on the 15th as well :-)
