All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more.

Someone i'm close with is turning 21.  As a long time lurker of this comm, I turn to you for advice.  I am running on a low budget, and I want to make dinner/dessert themed around "bar foods."  I spend a lot of time in bars but can't think of good ideas.  THoughts?
So far I'm thinking chocolate dipped pretzels/peanuts.  Those are classic bar foods, but sweetened. Right?

So, Valentine's Day is coming up.  I tend to be more 'serious' in my relationships, and I've been joking with my boyfriend that whatever I get him will look like "Valentine's Day got really drunk and puked the next morning, glitter and pink everywhere."  I need some suggestions for really cheesy gifts, or really sentimental ones (or a combination!)  I'm in the brainstorming phase, so all suggestions will be appreciated.  This is the first time I've shared a Valentine's Day with a serious boyfriend, so I'm not sure what to get.

Also, our one year anniversary is on Valentin's Day (gross,) and we're celebrating the two things apart.  How should a VDay gift vary from an anniversary gift? This is my first one year anniversary with a dude. Thanks!
