For a change, you can try conceptualizing the not-the-usual thing for your valentine date.  

The key word is “plan” ahead.  To some people as my self, ideas come into my mind while I am on my way to work or after office while on my way home.  We may be different.  It doesn’t matter as long as you plan in advance.    Below are some common suggestions (the best is something you think and plan yourself because no one knows how to please your partner better than you):

1. Better to think of a “tesear” type of gift before your valentine’s date.  One suggestion is to give her a romantic novel as Nicholas Sparks pocketbook or the like… a day before your date.
2. Choose a not-the-usual venue where you plan to dine or whatever you are planning to do that evening.  It’s up to you if you want to do it in the comfort of your home or somewhere different.  It need not be expensive and extravagant, though I see nothing wrong about it if you can afford.
3. Better to exert some effort like you yourself will cook, write a poem… you think what is the best thing to do (conceptualize).
4. Expect heavy traffic in most commercial areas during that day, so better plan your route.  It’s up to you if you want to celebrate on the 14^th or do it before/after.
5. There are romantic secrets your partner wishes you knew.  Most partners are not comfortable telling it so you better find his/her secrets.
6. Appreciate and thank your partner for all the thing he/she has done for you and the relationship.  Pray for her.
7. Make her smile.  Make her laugh.
8. Give a not-the-usual gift.   Same with what I said at number 2, It need not be expensive and extravagant, though I see nothing wrong about it if you can afford.
9. Flowers and chocolates are still effective but you can give it in a more creative manner, for a change.

10.  There’s more but you should research it yourself before the said date.  You can also learn from other suggestions but analyze if it fits in your relationship. 

Please do not depend too much on what you can get from the internet, Hollywood movies or articles.  You know your partner and your relationship better so plan what you think is best for your relationship.  Pray for wisdom and use your common sense.
