What Was The Best Valentine's Gift You Ever Received?


We asked some of our cast members:
What Was The Best Valentine's Day Gift You Ever Received?

Ben Moss
Probably the HUGE box of chocolates I got from my parents when I was in middle school. I devoured it.

Gabrielle Garza The best Valentine's day gift I got was this year actually! Blake

Matt Shingledecker Well, I don't remember past Valentines very well, but I got a fantastic present this year. I got a digital photo frame filled with pictures. It's a perfect gift for the road, and something I'll be able to use forever.

Andy Mientus When I was in school at UofM, my girlfriend gave me a whole package of my favorite things. They were lots of little things that showed she really knew me, which meant so much more than giving something big, expensive, and impersonal. Another dateless year, I took my roommate out for a fancy dinner, and she and I had the best time eating away our sorrows amongst the real couples.

Anthony Lee Medina I don't think I've ever recieved anything too special on Valentines day... I think this may actually be the first year I'm in a relationship with someone during this holiday since like kindergarden but, that girl did get me a lollipop and my mom filmed it and played it for my father a dozen times... So a lollipop hahaha.

Krystina Alabado When I was in 1st grade, I was at recess on Valentine's Day and this boy named Eric who I never even talked to gave me a bracelet and asked if I would be his Valentine. I said no and took the bracelet. haha. I still have it to this day.

But in all seriousness, this past Valentine's Day was a very special one to me. He took me to a really great breakfast where this cute jazz band was playing (that is my favorite kind of music). Then we ate some yummy chocolate later and he gave me these seriously awesome Bose headphones that are the bet ever! It was such a wonderful day, and was definitely the greatest Valentine's Day I've ever had!!

Christy Altomare Gerard came and visited me in Columbus so that we could celebrate valentines day a week early together. He got me Chocolates and a big white stuffed bear.

My senior year of high school, I made sugar cookies and put hearts on them, and gave one to all my single friends. It was pretty badass. I gave my couple-y friends hugs, though. :)

And for the record, I don't condone singles whining about singlehood on Valentine's Day. Celebrate, don't commiserate!

A few years ago, I received a very spiteful (but in good fun!) note attached to a lollipop :) It was wonderful.

I love Krystina's story from 1st grade.

This is going to sound so cheesy, but i've never been in a relationship during Valentine's day so the best gift i've ever been given was the chance to see Chase as Moritz!

Ha Ha. That doesn't sound cheesy at all! So glad you were able to be a part of it.

GREAT advice, Jaymee. I totally agree.

Hmmm..In 5th grade for Valentine's Day we had to create little notes for everyone one else in our class saying one or two things we liked about that person. Each of us got a compiled little book made up of the notes everyone had made for us. I still have that book to this day. It just makes me happy.

I celebrated being single on Valentine's Day by going to see SA in St. Louis. :)

yeah... the person who said Chase as Moritz was right! I saw Spring Awakening for the first time on Valentine's Day '09 and it was amazing!

Lol, might sound overdone, but one year, I got a gorgeous bouquet of roses, all white with pink edges on each petal. I still have one of the roses to this day actually, it's dried and in my room somewhere, =D

The future of the Lyrics is in the young people, and I think that those new singers are talented, so I would like to listen some of their songs! d2d2
