Overview
Finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift or gesture can be a tricky proposition. It can be even harder when you're in a new or casual relationship. You want to spend the day together, and you want to show your connection to the other person, but you don't want to go too big. There are plenty of options for this scenario, so don't feel too overwhelmed.

Lunch Date
Instead of going out to a fancy restaurant for an expensive, romantic dinner, change it up and go out for lunch instead. You're still going out together on Valentine's Day, but there aren't the serious connotations that go along with a dinner date. There will also be fewer couples staring into each other's eyes to make things uncomfortable. Choose the type of restaurant based on just how casual your relationship is.
Dinner at Home
Make a nice meal at home and enjoy a casual, laid-back experience. Play some quiet music in the background, such as light jazz or classical, to add to the atmosphere. Don't forget the wine and maybe some dipped berries for dessert.
Gifts
What you give to your casual Valentine is just as important as what you two do together on the special day. You want to show you care for the person, but don't want to give something that might make things awkward or change things. Think small and inexpensive valentine's day gifts, but still thoughtful and classy. Buy a woman a single rose with some greenery and baby's breath, which is preferable to a large bouquet. Chocolates work for both men and women. Cologne or perfume is another option, though some might see it as being a bit too romantic.
