Interesting / quirky suggestions for Valentine's Day? I'm based in London but it doesn't have to be UK-specific - I would be happy to hear your more general anecdotes of memorable romantic or eccentric activities. NB: She doesn't like expensive meals and is afraid of heights. (Posted anonymously so the lady in question doesn't figure that I've turned to AskMeFi for inspiration!)

(Of course, she'll know if you adapt from any of our experiences...)

I don't know how long you've known her (and I'd say <5 years, this would just be creepy,) but a few years back my husband got me the best gift ever. he took a television box, and filled it with everything i liked- books by my favorite author, a few issues of my favorite (non-subscribed) magazines, every snack and sweet i'd ever mentioned liking, bars of my favorite lush soap, etc., etc., etc.. it was literally a box of all of my favorite things, and not was it amazing because of the sheer volume of stuff i got to play with, it was incredibly romantic that he knew me i>that well.

One year I bought my girlfriend a stuffed-animal iguana complete with pebbles in the stomach, and had the store wrap a big black ribbon and bow around the neck ("Wait -- do you by any chance have black!?" It took a great deal of convincing). It held pride of place in my girlfriend's room until the next Valentimes Day. Obviously this requires the right girl.

I'm trying to get us a spot at the local curling club.

Postpone the celebration to 14 March instead.
