I really want to give her the gift but i'm not sure how she will react when i give it to her. Personally i think she would like the gift even though she doesnt like valentines day. Has anyone got a suggestion of what i should do? Reply to this Question

 Well, I don't know how big the teddy bear is but if it's bigger than breadbox I'd shelf the idea and get her something more low key. A card (something funny but romantic) maybe a smaller bear or take her out for a delicious dessert. Since she doesn't care for Valentine's Day, it might be best to save the bear for next year when you know her better. xoxo

 I think you've done exactly as I would have done. It's a lovely gesture. Even if she doesn't believe in the day itself, I'm sure she will have nothing but warm feelings of you after you give your gift to her. When you present her with it, simply tell her that you understand that she doesn't really like valentines day, but nevertheless, it was a good opportunity to express your feelings for her.
I think if you do that, she can't possibly think bad of you. You've acknowledged her distaste for Valentines day, and yet you have still gone out of your way to show her you like her. Sweep her off her feet, my man!
