For those of us with small children
If you have to pick them up this afternoon
Stop at a grocery market or somewhere Roses/Flowers aren't going for $75+ per dozen and .....

... pick up something from the little one to give to the mate

Gets points all the way around

this is something we always do with our kids

we have them make cards and they get to purchase a few little things...it gets them involved in the Holiday

We generally do lunch with the kids, then a nice dinner for ourselves, so they get to go out and have fun and we can have a quiet evening out without the kids...
