Nothing calls for over-the-top romantic gestures like Valentine’s Day! Big bouquets of roses, heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, extravagant restaurant dinners and diamond rings submerged in flutes of the finest bubbly.

Yeah, I don’t get any of that. No flowers. I buy my own chocolate after it’s clearanced down on the 15th. But I’m okay with that. After all, I could have said no don-juan-demarco.jpgwhen I opened that jeweler’s box almost fifteen years ago and he said, “Well, do you want it?” I knew what I was signing up for, and it wasn’t over-the-top romantic gestures.

But a few years ago, out of the blue, my husband bought me a Valentine’s Day gift. It’s a Don Juan bear from the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, and I was speechless. (He heard about the bears on our local morning radio show.) Don Juan is fully poseable, with a red-lined black satin cape, a mysterious little mask and a black hat that sits jauntily over one ear. Whether it’s because it’s the cutest teddy bear ever or because it was such a surprise coming from my husband, it’s my very favorite gift from him.

Who would your bear be? (And, sure, that might be cheesy, but remember…I only get my cheesy Valentine romance vicariously through other people. *g*)

A randomly drawn commenter will win a print copy of either Taming Eliza Jane or Devlin Group: Adrenaline, winner’s choice.
