I've spaced out her boyfriend the past two years because I am horrible about dates and special occasions (They always seem overrated in my opinion), but I cannot let this year go by without doing something! I know she doesn't require a whole production but I'm completely lost! What do other guys do for their women that doesn't require a lot of planning or expense? Flowers and cards are so predictable. I only have two days, and yes I know this is last minute because I really suck at things like this!! But help!! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I will consider both ideas but since it's cool here right now, I may have to go with the Lavendar Chicken and try the picnic later when it warms up here. Thanks again!!

HI. I can tell you something that my husband has done in the past. I suppose this will depend on temperature where you are, if she likes the outdoors and stuff, but it's an idea.
He planned a really nice picnic lunch. Packed a blanket, a radio with some of my favorite cds, some little finger foods. (pick her fav things) He got me a card and wrote me a letter about how much he loved me. Just before lunch time, he got me into the car and blindfolded me. He said it was a surprise. He drove me to a secluded area in a near by park and we got out of the car. He grabbed the food and blankets and radio in the bag he packed it all into and grabbed my hand and walked me over to a bench. He told me to sit down and just wait.
Suddenly i heard music. He lead me to the blanket and took the blindfold off. He had everything set up. i had never been so surprised or felt so special. he really thought about me and took time.
Good Luck!! :)

 In my experience, a great way to get points for doing something for her birthday without having to go all out is to cook her dinner, as trite as it may sound. You don't have to go all out on a big date, you've got a minimum of expense and effort, but as far as she's concerned she's wowed by the fact that you care so much that you would do something so personal.
Catch is, by "cooking dinner" I don't mean order pizza and sit down with her to watch the big game. Tell you what, try this recipe. It's gotten me some serious props from various girlfriends. Lavender honey chicken - it's a minimum of prep, easy to do right, and sounds really, really gourmet.
Mix 1/2 cup honey with 1/2 cup of butter over very low heat. Add a teaspoon of good dijon mustard and a little more than a teaspoon of dried lavender. Stir over a low heat until it's smooth. Set it aside to steep for about 15 minutes. Put a couple of chicken breasts into a oven pan, pour the honey mix over them. Stick it in the oven at 450 degrees for about an hour or so, taking them out every 10 minutes to spoon a little of the sauce over the chicken. Do that till it turns a golden brown.
Serve over rice with some steamed veggies, follow dinner up with a leisurely massage and you've just given her one of the most intimate, personal birthdays she's had in a long time. Guaranteed to get you laid.
