Girls Night In
Invite a few of your friends round for a girls evening in.
Girls - enjoy a romantic, soppy movie together with a take away pizza and plenty of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Boys Night Out
Why not arrange for an active evening for a few mates?
Guys - why not book a slot at the bowling alley or go karting to let off some steam?! Follow it up by eating out and enjoying pizza or a KFC.
Surprise Someone
Enjoy the secret delight of sending a small gift or surprise to someone. With the success of the Secret Santa scheme over the past few Christmases - why not make this Valentines Day about giving, rather than getting?
How about paying for the guy in the queue behind you at the toll bridge, "dropping" a fiver and picking up to give to a stranger or any unexpected act of kindness. Just about everybody loved the film "Pay It Forward" - one of the things that made it's story so successful is that, for once, everybody is trying to find a way to surprise or bless someone else.
This Valentines Day, take the focus outside of yourself and you may be surprised how much you enjoy yourself!
