No matter how you choose to celebrate, Valentine's Day is about making moments that feel special to you.
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a soul-sucking, overpriced cliché. Here's how to make it genuinely fun, no matter your relationship status:
1. Ditch the Dinner Drama
Who wants to fight for a reservation at a restaurant that triples its prices for one night? Try a cozy night in with takeout from your favourite spot, or even better, make it a DIY event. Get creative with a build-your-own taco bar, construct a charcuterie board, or assemble and bake heart-shaped pizzas—yes, please.
2. Candy > Roses
Roses wilt, but candy lives forever (well, until you eat it). Treat your special someone—or yourself—to a CandyGram, a Sweet Stack, or a Candy Basket loaded with their favourites. Bonus: candy never needs watering, and the colours are just as pretty!
3. Skip the Pressure—Celebrate Your Way
Who says Valentine's Day is just for couples? Host a Galentine's Day candy and cocktail night, do a "Treat Yo' Self" spa day, or plan a family movie marathon with themed snacks. Love comes in all forms. Just like pouring a candy bag on top of popcorn, be sure to spread it around like confetti.
4. Add a Dash of Adventure
Spice things up with something unexpected: a scavenger hunt, a surprise activity (axe throwing, anyone?), or a party with a Blind Candy-Tasting game. (Ask for spicy to really take it up a notch.) It's all about making new memories, not falling into the same old routine.
5. End on a Sweet Note
Finish the day with a bit of indulgence: a fun-themed Cotton Candy Tub, a rejuvenating face mask, or treat any guests to a spectacular Candy Platter with all your favourite treats. Snack on it together, or use the included resealable bags for guests to craft their own take-home mix of gummies. It's the sweetest ending to a perfect day.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, Valentine's Day is about making moments that feel special to you. Whether hosting a festive party, sharing time with loved ones, or keeping it simple with a cozy night at home, a little creativity (ok, and maybe some candy) can turn the day into something unforgettable.
