Like with most everything else, Valentines day is another that has become so commercialized the meaning gets mixed or lost in all the sensless hoopla.
What if anything does Valentines day mean for you?
For what most people would believe is the meaning and/or purpose of Valentines day, I honestly don't believe there is much meaning in buying your loved one chocolates, flowers or any kind of gift on a special day that is supposedly set aside just for that purpose, which in reality it isn't.
If you truly want a gift of love to have any real meaning to it, then any day of the year will have more meaning if it is something you do spontaneously, rather than on some day that people think they are somehow obligated to.

People will get pissed that are romantics but you can even look this up if you like... truth is, the Hallmark corporation invented Valentines Day in an attempt to fill the long gap during that time of the year with card sales. Typical sales figures showed that card sales slumped due to lack of holidays until Mother's Day. they needed to increase sales so the created Valentine's Day. Sweetest Day is another quasi special day created by a card company. In fact there are several... secr. day, bosses day... it serves no purpose and has no meaning... they just make you think there is. Truth is they know people can act like sheep and they can profit from it. That is the absolute truth too. Ask someone who is old enough to remember when Hallmark announced the created the idea of celebrating Valentines Day (not the actual celebration fo the saint mind you)

Nothing but legends they don't even know who St. Valentine was. Historians believe him to be on of at least three different valentines. He never gave a valentine to any one and may or may not have been martyred. This holiday is based on more fiction and speculation than actual fact.

From what I understand, St. Valentine performed secret marriages during a period when this was outlawed. (He was later executed for this.)
