If this was the case, he would do well to have a preliminary conversation. Otherwise he risks losing the present along with the money it cost, or, if the girl is ethical, having his gift returned unopened in the next mail.
If he is simply trying to diffuse any ill will left over from the break-up, a simple, friendly card would be more appropriate. The enclosed message might read: " Sending kind thoughts to you today, with gratitude for the happy memories we share, and best wishes for your happiness in the future." This adequately conveys the thought that he holds no hard feelings and is ready to move on.
Let us consider briefly how the ex-girlfriend might feel upon receiving an unexpected Valentine's Day gift from her former beau. Her emotions will vary according to how she presently views her former boyfriend.
If she still harbors resentment or bitterness, she may throw the gift into the trash, and figure "Good riddance!". If she is scrupulously honest, she will immediately send it back unopened and he could be stuck with paying the return postage.
If she is indifferent and has already moved on with her life, she may set it aside, opened or unopened, intending to return it later and promptly forget about it. In that case, he will be left wondering whatever happened to it.
If, however, she regrets the break-up and is wishing to recapture his love, along with the old magic she found in the relationship, her hopes for a reconciliation will soar skywards, and he may find her parked on his doorstep the same evening, with a gift of equal or greater value that she's purchased for him.
Turning down her gift will be difficult, because, of course, he started the gift-giving cycle. He will be confronted with the task of explaining why he sent a Valentine present to someone he no longer cares for, returning her gift, and comforting her when she collapses into a paroxysm of uncontrollable weeping.
He should consider carefully, "Do I really want this aggravation?". If the answer is negative, he should forget the whole notion.
Sending a Valentine gift to an ex-girlfriend is a bad idea unless he hopes that, by doing so, he can rekindle the relationship, and give it another chance. However, the stratagem is still a gamble and the present should be meaningful but inexpensive.
If he doesn't wish to renew the relationship, he would be much wiser to just let sleeping dogs lie.
