Valentine’s: Thumbs Down From Me

If you’re anything like me, then you’ll hate Valentine’s day. I hate it so much I even wrote an article on it. Which you can find below. 

Let’s Boycott Valentine’s

But nonetheless it’s still a holiday and if you got a special someone then I guess the right thing to do is to do something so here are some ideas I came up with as a certified Valentine’s day hater that don’t involve going out to eat at restaurants. 

  1. Cook dinner at home

I hate going out on Valentines. The atmosphere always sucks cause it’s boring couples and it is always just unnecessary money being spent. Opt to cook a nice dinner at home and you can skip the expensive bill, and enjoy your dinner in a sweat suit – no need to dress up in uncomfortable clothes.

Cooking

  1. Try new drinks 

Make some cocktails, dry different wines, or maybe some beers from a local brewery. Celebrate at home or go out and make it casual. 

  1. Game night

Invite some of your other friends and make it a game night. Valentine’s doesn’t have to be a one on one thing – get together with a group, play charades, or heads up and skip the whole date thing.

  1. Get takeout and head to the beach

Or it doesn’t even have to be the beach, just some place nice like a viewpoint or your favourite spot is just as nice. My go to is also sushi and the beach and by then February isn’t too rainy so you might be able to catch a nice sunset too.

  1. Skip it all together 

In all honesty, Valentine’s is just another day to spend money. It’s just unnecessary, maybe you want to skip it all together and treat it like just another day and that’s totally fine too.

At the end of the day, Valentine’s Day is just another day on the calendar. Whether you go all out, do something low-key, or ignore it completely, the most important thing is to do what makes you happy. So, if you’re like me and can’t stand the holiday, don’t feel pressured to celebrate it the traditional way. Do your own thing, make it fun (or don’t), and most importantly—don’t let Hallmark tell you how to spend your time.
