Valentine's Day in new relationship

I've been dating someone for about a month and he says he's arranged something nice for Valentine's Day. We agreed no cards or presents, which I'm happy with as it's always a struggle to find something. However, I'd like to make a nice gesture of some sort, without it being over the top, as we haven't said the L word and it's not been long. Just can't think what, I don't want it to look like a gift when we agreed not to.

Thoughts?

Bake him a batch of heart shaped cookies

Why did you start off agreeing to no cards and gifts? Reverse that if you can!

Could you get him something that hints at having fun together in the future - like a book of weird places to explore in London or a map of UK's most beautiful walks etc. Or a token gift related to something he loves.

I agreed to it because I hate the whole commercial side of it. It's all teddies with heats and sickly cards, but as he's planning something I'd like to show that I like him.

Cookies maybe, but I've no heart shaped cutter, will have to look for one.
