Valentines Day ideas for a straight girl???

[BDisaster]

So Im in need of some advice, or tips. Im in love with a straight girl, it sucks, but thats just the way it is. I have told her how I feel about her and she is fine with it...as of a matter of fact she thinks its cute. Anyway Valentines day is the worst holiday for her, she fucking hates it. So Im trying to figure out a way to make it the most beautiful day she has ever had but i have no idea what to do because she is my friend and i dont want to do anything that might push her away or freak her out.

Weve always joked that we're going to run away to Australia together but we're both not financially set for that so im trying to find a way to make an australian themed day or something like that. i just want whatever i end up doing to be special. i want her to know that somebody loves her and is thinking about her so any ideas?

I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but one of the greatest highlights of Australia for me was snorkeling on the GBR. So, perhaps a trip to the aquarium could be in the plans, and for me, that's a little unusual and special too (at least for me; I haven't been to an aquarium since I was a kid). Maybe you could build a trip highlights itinerary with a handmade brochure, like...

Day 1: Breakfast at ..... (make her breakfast with at least one typically Aussie food, or perhaps even just some eucalyptus in a vase on the table or on a tray if it's breakfast in bed would set the scene; a brief recording of Aussie birds like the Kookaburra might be neat too)

Day 2: Attend performance at the Sydney Opera House (it could be as simple as playing opera music)

Day 5: Day trip to Tasmania (a Taz. Devil-themed little gift might be appropriate)

Day 7: Diving/snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef

Day 10: Outback "Barbee" (A BBQ dinner with Aussie wine or beer maybe?)

You get the idea, I'm sure. You might add the starting times of these activities, and/or surprise her throughout the day (e.g. an Opera CD in her car or bringing her lunch at work).

If anyone put this kind of thought and effort into plans, there'd be no doubt they loved me. I'm not sure how she is, but thoughtfulness is all I want and need...labor, not expense, is what makes me feel truly special and valued. Plus, little is better than spending quality time and having fun with someone who cares about you.

Also, I'm bi, but I'm trying to think about what would go over well with me with someone I wasn't interested in sexually. Again, plans like this would make me feel good, but not pressured because it's geared toward platonic, pressure-free fun. Many or expensive gifts might be uncomfortable due to the romantic and reciprocation dynamics.
