I don't know people who actually bother with that or gifts or text messages.
It's not how adults operate. All that matters is the 1, 2, 3 + year anniversary. Forget the monthly ones but don't screw that one up. If she says it's fine to not acknowledge or remember month anniversaries than believe her. She means it.
Forget being sorry as I'll be blunt it's stupid. The other problem is we don't know her at all so we can't tell you what to get her as a gift.
I would talk to her friends, sibling, mother or other girls you know about what she's wanting or they think would make a great gift. I'm sure whatever you'll pick will be fine.
Stop sweating the small stuff. Your fixation on monthly anniversaries suggests you are insecure about the relationship and of her rejecting you. You need to ease up or it will eventually piss her off. Be yourself, buy a gift and let life unfold with chips falling where they may.

They are just another day in the month. If you get my meaning. Kind of makes them no more special than any other monthly anniversary.
For valentines day buy her a rose and or a box of chocolates. If you want to go all out maybe a necklace or bracelet with a heart on it. Whatever you can afford to do. OR, You could try your hand at making her cookies or something if you want an extra special touch. The fact that you did it yourself alone is special. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
