- Pick a special, memorable spot and ask for a walk: Places like where you two first met -- this is a perfect time to revisit it. If it's complicated, head to your favorite hangout spot and spend some time together.
- Get a quick ticket for a post-valentine trip: There is not much time left to plan for a trip that day, so buy the ticket and send in a personalized envelope.
- Dress Up: Grab a Theme and dress up for your partner. Even if you don't go to any fancy place, it could be fun to dress up at your best.
- Make a Homemade Gift -- Buy a Handmade Card, Gift personalized for you partner. Although, it's a short time but a special picture framed or make a homemade, handwritten card are more meaningful considering the time and effort it takes to make them.
- Find a good chocolate and wine -- What would Valentine's Day be like without chocolate? We would never know because chocolate is just quite simply a staple of Valentine's Day and it's always important to make sure you pick some up -- unless you are allergic.
- Go out to dinner -- There will be plenty of other people out and about on Valentine's Day too but you could find a place to eat with that special person and then nobody has to worry about cooking any dinner. Plus, if you pick a new restaurant that you've never been to, it can be a nice memory to have in the future. You could also have dinner right at home but set the mood perfectly right. Even though it is nice to get away from cooking, you could make this homemade dinner in a completely different way than you usually do on other boring weekdays. Set the table nicely and it could become a Valentine's Day tradition each year. You can feel like you're at a restaurant when you're actually just in the comfort of your own home.
- Buy a special gift: From Classic Wool or Satin Floral Bow-Tie to Handy Office/Travel Bag Pack to Personalized Perfume Set to Beard Kit, try to exchange gifts with your partner. Try to think of something that your significant partner would want and maybe you can even share it together. Whether it is tickets to a show or a game or even plane tickets, you can do whatever it is together and enjoy an entirely new experience to remember. A nice watch would be great for him or her or you could look into getting different jewelry as well. Take some extra time to look ahead of time to make sure you know you're making the right purchase when you're ready.
- Get a Gift Card: A gift card can go a long way in giving someone the chance to select exactly what he or she wants. To make things easier, you could find online gift cards or you could just run down to the store and choose from different racks of gift cards on display. For some people, the more broad the gift card is, the better -- this way there is more freedom to choose whichever is preferred. But if it is more specifically narrowed down to, say, one activity, it gives your loved one a chance to enjoy something that he or she may not splurge at any other usual time.
