<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Like the title says, my husband's birthday lands on Valentine's day. At face value that sounds cool, but he absolutely hates it. His mom scheduled her C-section specifically for that day (I don't understand why). As a kid, his parents always put Valentine's day dates before his birthday (even forgetting his birthday completely once or twice) and while other kids had special birthday privileges at school, his was always forgotten and overshadowed by the holiday. He always felt that he didn't deserve to celebrate his birthday.

Now that we're adults I very much want to show him that his birthday is far more special than Valentine's day, but it can be difficult. In years prior I opted for buying a Valentine's day card and a birthday card, but I don't want to double up on everything.
<bot>: What are some ways or activities that you find are special for Valentine's day or that I could use to focus more on his birthday?
