 Can you cook? If not, ask someone who can to make her favorite meal and have a romantic candle-lit dinner at home.

 You can still make valentines lots of fun for her - make her a valentines card or a book of redeemable vouchers - like a voucher for a back rub or a voucher for breakfast in bed etc....
It is all about showing someone how you feel about them not how much money you are spending!

when you first see her on Valentines day, tell her "baby i don't have any money but that doesn't change the fact that i love you" if she is a cool chick she will respect that you are being truthful with her.
Make her a home made Valentines card
even if you don't have the best supplies to do it..
think creatively and try your best
inside, on a separate piece of paper [tablet]
write her a love note, telling her how you remember
the first time you seen her and telling her the things
that she does that you like [she will start to do them
more] and telling her jus how special she is to you
IF you can't think of anything to say, look up some
love poems online and pick out the best one
write it on the piece of paper and on the bottom
tell her who its by and why you wrote it [obviously
because you feel that way]
you can also write with a marker words to describe her "beautiful", "caring", "the best i ever had" etc. and then cut them out and tape them on her mirror it will make her think of you everytime she looks at herself
[sticky notes would be easier]
if you can't think of how to make a card, jus put the
note in an envelope and write her name beside a heart
you can also make her a cd of the songs that make
you think of her and write on it "2/14/10 3"
you could also make her dinner and give her a massage
then when the sun sets you can take her outside and
hold her and tell her that you love her, and right as
its going down give her a kiss and hold her tight and
tell her your so happy that she is your girl and that
you wont ever forget her beautiful face
after that you should be gettin some hahaha jus kiddin
but that's the only things i can think of for someone who doesn't have money i hope i have helped! :)

 Sorry I mean, Remembering as in that was so cool and romantic. She will remember what you did on that special day in the future with you by her side.

reader, anonymous, writes (11 February 2010): OK, do not panic! Remember that with Valentine's Day it's thoughtfulness and effort that count far more than expensive gifts. Last year, a friend of mine was given an expensive diamond pendant by her partner - who then left to play golf with his friends and got drunk. She was furious! She'd much rather have spent some special time with him that day than have had the pricy gift.
When you say you have no money, do you mean that you have literally no cash, or simply that you only have a small amount ($10-30)?
There is a lot you can do to show her that you love her with small but caring gestures! I suggest a combination of a few of these, throughout the day, to make her feel truly special. The crucial thing is that she sees you working your ass off to make this work!
Free stuff!
* Write her a poem, or a love letter, on special paper
* Get some stick-on notes, and write on each of them one thing that you love about her. When she's gone to bed on the 13th, stick them up around the houses in places where she'll find them.
* Set her computer screensaver to a romantic message
* Use your talents! Write her a song. Make her something with metal or wood. Whatever you're good at - do it for her.
* Make her a compilation CD of songs that were at no 1 on her birthday over the last 40 years.
* Make a homemade card
* Make a coupon book promising to do chores, and spend time doing things she enjoys (and yes, that includes things like 'watching a chick flick'!)
* Take her outside to watch the sunset together, or look at the starts (weather-permitting)
Inexpensive gifts
* Buy a cheap Chinese floating lantern, drive out somewhere romantic, and let it float away. Cost: $5-7
* Buy some sparklers and enjoy them outside. Cost $2-3
* Buy a pack of heart-shaped candy, and make her a treasure hunt, with clues leading her to each individual chocolate. Cost: $1-2
* Bake her a cake and decorate it with a big heart made of candy Cost: $5
* Bring her breakfast in bed, with fresh coffee, juice and croissants. Cost: $5
* Make her a three course candlelit dinner in the evening, and wait on her like an old-fashioned gentleman. She'll be bowled over! Cost: depends what you have in the cupboard. You could do something quite special for $20.

If you can. On valentines day watch the sun rise with her. People don't do that enough and when you see it rising up over the horizon. Its breathtaking. then kiss her on the cheek.
She will remember you forever.
