About all those jewelry ads

dreamflowerPardon me for a little rant here, but I am so sick of all the jewelry ads. They were bad enough at Christmas, and they're even worse at Valentine's Day! Ugh! A guy has to *prove* he loves his woman by spending a fortune on some little piece of sparkle, and then--and *only* then--will she realize how much he cares and fall into his arms! "Every kiss begins with Kay"? *shudder*
But of course, part of that may simply be that I've never cared for sparkly jewelry--I don't really care for diamonds that much--I like jewelry that has a special meaning, and it doesn't have to be costly. The problem is, my DH buys into the publicity sometimes, and I have to convince him that he doesn't have to waste our money on some bit of bling to show how much he cares. He always looks at me doubtfully, as though he thinks I'm just saying that to make him feel better!
So, anyway, a little poll here, to see how some of y'all feel about all the Valentine's Day hype!
