Ever since my first introduction to Marxism at UCSC, I have called 2/14 "Commodification of Affection Day."

I don't think CoAD needs to be about huge amounts of money or anything. I think that it should be a day to tell someone you care about that you do care. And that can be in any way you see fit... either in sexy underwear, a handmade card, little favours, a home cooked dinner, a fancy one... any way to show any person(s) that you care about them. And really it doesn't have to be THAT day... but it's a day you can set aside to say "I may not say this as often as I should, but on this one day I want you to know that I care."
It's why I always buy myself a CoAD present, even if it's something small... it's a way of reminding myself that I need to care about me, too. (this year it's a little V-day Eeyore that is uber cute!)
