While others are drowning in chocolates and romantic gestures, embracing the freedom of being single on Valentine’s Day is not too bad. If you’re still unsure how to celebrate this love-centric holiday, we have more facts about Valentine’s to make the day extra fun—some aren’t as sweet!
10+ Exciting Anti Valentine’s Day Activities You Cannot Miss
1. Send Anti-Valentine’s Day cards
Let’s start your anti-Valentine’s Day activities by creating hilarious Valentine’s Day cards and candies to share with friends. You can bake heart-shaped cookies and add cheeky messages such as “Love sux,” “F*** off,” or “Done w/you.” The goal is to make the usually sweet and sentimental holiday into a light and funny celebration.
2. Join an online workout class
If you enjoy working out, sweat out the romantic vibes with a high-energy online workout class. Plenty of subscription-based streaming workout programs, such as Daily Burn, are available. For a budget-friendly alternative, YouTube has many high-quality workout videos for you to channel that energy into getting fit and fabulous.
3. Have a movie marathon
No lovey-dovey or emotional movies are allowed this at-home Valentine’s Day! You may prefer action or comedy movies (or horror to avoid the mushy stuff) and just spend this solo day in bed and enjoy watching. If TV shows are your favorite, binge-watch funny sitcoms or cartoons from childhood to keep it light and carefree.
4. Enjoy a spa day
Who says you can’t be your own Valentine? You may celebrate February 14th with a facial, mani-pedi, or spa day. Imagine sipping a mimosa, indulging in a sugar scrub, and enjoying time alone with the best person—yourself! It’s a great way to embrace the joy of self-love because who deserves it more than you do?
5. Create a funny music playlist
Instead of the typical love playlists, why not go the other way and create your playlist of anti-Valentine’s Day songs? Even if Spotify already has one, you can create your unique version with hits like “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé and “Anti Love Song” by Betty Davis.
6. Have a solo dining at a restaurant
Having dinner with your ex on Valentine’s Day usually meant pub food and watching the game. This year, why not book a table for yourself at your favorite dining spot? You can order whatever you want from the menu and savor it without the distraction of a football game in the background. It’s a chance to appreciate great food, solitude, and freedom on February 14th!
7. Offer your time as a volunteer
If you’re feeling a bit down on Valentine’s Day, consider lifting your spirits by helping others. You may visit a nursing home and spend time with someone to help them feel less lonely. Then, head to an animal shelter to play with puppies and kittens. Other options include visiting a homeless shelter and chatting with someone who appreciates having a roof over their head.
8. Solve the Chinatown Murders as a detective
If you are flying solo and not into the lovey-dovey vibes, why not become a detective in an outdoor “Escape Room” game tour? In this 2-hour Chinatown Murders, you and your friends will solve puzzles, find routes, and collect items to reveal the serial killer. It’s a great anti-Valentine’s Day activity to hype yourself up for a thrilling adventure!
9. Make some cocktails
On February 14th, how about having fun with your loved ones by getting into mixology? You can gather various types of alcohol and mixers and play around with different combinations. While following cocktail recipes is an option, making it up as you go is more enjoyable. Who knows? You might create a new drink that becomes your “signature cocktail.”
10. Go traveling
Our daily routines can be all-consuming; sometimes, it’s good to get lost purposely. You may take a spontaneous drive or stroll without a set destination as an anti-Valentine’s Day activity. You will discover new areas you’ve never seen by wandering through your favorite park or hiking trail. Forget Google Maps this time—losing your way is the adventure.
11. Try a DIY project
Have you been putting off assembling that desk for weeks? Then, seize the chance on February 14th to get hands-on in a new home improvement or DIY project. Let your creativity lead you to a world where you shine as yourself, free from the pressures of typical romantic stuff.
12. Let off steam at the Fragment Room
Are you feeling so furious about your toxic ex that you want to destroy things? Then, the Fragment Room is a perfect place for letting out that anger. This anti-Valentine’s Day activity involves breaking crates of stuff and enjoying therapeutic destruction. You will be wearing protective gear, so there is no need to worry about getting hurt. Have fun, Wreck-It Ralph!
