I'm my Valentine, my sweet Valentine...

Happy Valentine's Day OR Happy Anti-Valentine's Day? What should it be? One of my friends says her boyfriend's not allowed to bring her chocolate, roses, candles and the works on Valentine's, or any other day. She says: 'it's so cliche'. If he can't find a more original way to show me his love I don't need that well-worn Hallmark/Harlequin crap. She has a point there, but I disagree. I guess lots has been said and done by someone else before, but lots has not been said and done for me.
