ABSOLUTELY do something very romantic for Valentine's day, but don't spend too much for things that will be a fraction of the price the very next day.
A V-Card is the absolute minimum! You should write your own thoughtful romantic sentiment and go ahead and write something that says that you think that this is one of the most (but not THE most) special days for you two to share.
For a V-Gift, what about a romatic picnic that you have prepped yourself or purchased from a local deli, complete with a bottle of wine and his and hers glasses on a nice rug in front of the fireplace or in your favorite snuggle spot? If you can afford it, include a gift card for her favorite store or jeweler or restaurant or whatever (which will be used after V-Day when the prices are better and the crowds are thinner).
Go ALL OUT on her birthday!!!! Nice restaurant, flowers, the works!!! You 'll get alot more for your money on the 15th and you should regard her birthday as the more important occaision anyway. Here, you could be using the V-Day restaurant gift for dinner, but give her a very nice PERSONAL gift that she really wants. If she likes fancy gourmet cooking appliances, they could be regarded as a personal gift, but don't give her a new toaster to replace the old one, okay??? Also, her BD is not the occaision for a new car that you were planning to buy anyway....unless you are really blowing the extra bucks to get her the high-priced model she really wants and the car will be only hers and the money isn't coming from the communal budget.
Good Luck!!!

Your wife and I are both the same. My birthday is also on the 15th. Although I am not married I am never alone on valentines day. I really like it when guys seperate the days. Because I look forward to two special days. A good a idea for you and your wife is to take her away for the weekend for her birthday. And for valentines day just a romantic evening together. Wine and dine her thats always nice.

Acknowledge both dates separately. Just because her birthday falls on the 15th does not mean you can combine the two. Maybe cook an nice romantic on Valentines Day and take her out on her birthday. (less crowded at the restaurants on the 15th). Don't forget the gifts. :)

Best thing to do is to go away for a mini holiday for about 2-3 days. She will auotmatically know its for two celebrations.
Or just get her 1 small and 1 big gifts which lead to a big one....example, keyring for the 14th and a car for the 15th

I'd want the days celebrated separately, celebrate both.For instance, a cake for her birthday, roses for Valentine;s, Buy a separate gift for both, but if you have a large disposable income, buy matching earrings and a neclace, give her one for the holiday, and one for her birthday, for example. Or do a family celebration for her birthday, and just the two of you on Valentines.
Make the gift something personal for her birthday, something romantic for Valentine's might be nice.
If you wish, go to her favorite restaurant for her birthday, pick a more romantic place for Valentines.
And make sure to get two cards.

That's easy. Just go light on the Valentine's day stuff. Nothing too big, but not absolutely nothing. If you do nothing, you'll infuriate her because you forgot one of the most romantic days of the year. Then on her birthday, go all out, combining Valentines and birthday celebrations. Then make your anniversary a normal one.

you need to celebrate both date separately.. just b/c she was born on the day after Valentines Day is not her fault and should not get gypped on her birthday present too.. Take her out to a special restaurant on V-Day, buy her a single rose and a small token of your love, and then for her birthday either do something private or with the family, what ever you choose get her a nice piece of jewelry.

Celebrate both days with the same enthusiam. If you've been together for 13 years you should have a pretty good idea of what she expects and act on that. You can keep V-day simple with flowers and maybe candy then provide for a intimate gift for the B-day.

Whatever you do, DON'T buy one present and say that it's for both occasions.
It really depends on what kind of person she is in terms of what presents she would like but the one thing you have to remember is Valentine's Day is about the both of you while her birthday, is about her and her only.
