I never understood birthdays, nor Christmas. Everything is overpriced. I have a sense of anxiety to please my significant others.

Valentines day is all about her and expected generosity (hence the anxiety) because it's demanded and it's expected. .
Birthdays are all about that person and your expected generosity, hence the anxiety, because it's demanded and it's expected. Try coming empty handed to your dad's (or best friend's) birthday party. The atrocity.
Same with Christmas. Overpriced. Overrated. Overtly anticipated. There's no weaseling out of it.
Don't single out Valentine's day. Single out birthdays. Anniversaries. Christmas. And whatever else that involves gift giving.
You guys are going to be a great couple.
