There is still time and, lucky for you, we have you covered.

International Business Times UK has put together some emergency Valentine suggestions that are guaranteed to keep you out of the dog house.

Cook Dinner

Why not surprise that special someone in your life with a homemade romantic dinner for two. You can opt out of eating in a crowded restaurant and spend quality time together indoors.

One benefit of this intimate gesture is that after the meal you can curl up to watch a movie or simply go straight to desert in the bedroom.

Make a Mix Tape

A compilation CD of favourite tracks is a creative way to show your other half how much you care. Just pick up some blank CDs from your local store and head to iTunes to download some unforgettable songs. It will also be a great way to stay in their thoughts, because they will think of you whenever they listen to those songs.

Show the World your Love

Why not show your Valentine how much they mean to you by showing the world. Download the Lovestagram app from the AppStore for free to share a slideshow of you and your special someone's Instagram photos.

In addition to making them feel on top of the world, this simple heartfelt gesture will not break the bank this Valentine's Day.

Treasure Hunt

Instead of going overboard on the romance, try organising a fun and creative activity that you will both enjoy and that exhibits your personality.

A Valentine's Day-themed scavenger hunt is a clever way to get their adrenaline pumping. Why not add a romantic twist and make yourself the final prize.

A Sexy Fragrance

Ensure that they are irresistible to you tonight by treating them to a sexy new fragrance. It will not only make them feel amazing, it will also guarantee that the sparks fly all night.

Show them that you truly adore them by selecting a perfume or cologne they will love.
