Awww see, that's kinda sad.
I don't think it's good to get the expectations up for a certain day, it's a easy way to being disappointed.
Maybe you could go ahead and plan on doing something original, nice, sincere, and heartfelt for her (which is, I suppose, my big beef with the day), especially if that's not the only time you do something like that, and perhaps in the future she'll reconsider her stance.
I suppose I just resent it when folks (guy or gal) do something for their partner that's supposed to show singular affection and honor, but really it's just motivated by trying to stay out of trouble, doing what everyone else is doing, feeling pressured and obligated by their partner, etc.
