When You’re Single 

On Valentine’s Day the possibilities are endless, no date needed. This is the era of self-love, and the best way to amp up your February 14th, even if you’re single, is to make it all about you. Our favorite Valentine’s Day ideas for singles include treating yourself to a day full of self-care and little indulgences. Cook yourself something nice, or order in your favorite meal to avoid the restaurant crowds. Leave room for dessert—you don’t even have to share! Spend time doing things that make you happy, or just simply relax. Continue your day with a relaxing massage at home and raise a toast to your favorite person—you!

Still want to be social on Valentine’s Day? Get a group of friends together and celebrate with a singles-only event. Schedule a dinner out at a trendy new restaurant or your favorite local haunt. Share stories of  past Valentine’s Days and your most hilarious dating stories (first-date fails are always a good place to start, consider making PowerPoints to show off to your friends if you are a creatively inclined storyteller). After you’ve all enjoyed a trip down memory lane, top the night off with a group activity. Whether it’s movie night with the guys, Galentine’s Day massages at home, or throwback bowling, chances are you’ll have a blast.

When You’re Somewhere In Between

When “What are we?” gives you fright, you can always choose to love yourself. Treat yourself to something indulgent—a luxurious bath, your favorite takeout, or a pampering massage with Soothe. Or, if you’re feeling social, gather friends in similar “in-between” situations and have a laid back night in. Think movie marathons, wine tasting at home, potlucks, or even a DIY spa night. No matter your relationship status, you deserve to feel loved and celebrated.

When You’re In a Relationship

Optimally, every day feels like Valentine’s Day with your partner. If you want to make this year extra sweet, you can’t go wrong with planning a romantic experience-based date. For couples looking to skip the usual Valentine’s dinner crowds, if weather permits, pack a picnic for two and head somewhere with a scenic view or go on stroll in an area that is special to you both. Consider re-creating your first date or take them somewhere they’ve been wanting to go. You can never go wrong with a classy Valentine’s Day dinner, but make sure those reservations are made well in advance. If you’re looking to go the more relaxing route, enjoy a nice meal at home and unwind with a couples massage. After your massage, spend time sharing special memories or just cozying up.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching this year. Whether you’re looking for unique Valentine’s Day ideas for couples, or planning a single’s only event, make sure you’re spending the special day with someone you love, even when that someone is just your beautiful self!
