An Evening at Home
For those who want something a little more low-key and budget-friendly, consider spending the evening at home. If you don’t have a partner to spend Valentine’s Day with, make it an evening with friends or a relaxing evening to yourself. The food possibilities are endless… Fondue, caviar, pizza, whatever your heart desires. Sit back, relax, and maybe start a new show on Netflix. You can even try a face mask or bubble bath for added relaxation!
