Valentine’s Day is on Thursday, February 14th! Don’t worry… I can’t believe it’s already February too. If you left this little “holiday” to the last minute or maybe you and your partner don’t go all out, here are some simple, easy ideas that will make the day special whether you’ve been in a relationship for 3 months or 30 years!
The Hot Chocolate Festival
If you forgot to make a dinner reso and everything is booked up… here’s something a little different! The 14th is the last day of the Hot Chocolate Festival. Go to their website and make a list of cafes to stop at to sample a gourmet hot cocoa. Walk around Downtown and do a bit of shopping. More Info.

Busy parents? No sitter? No problem!
Date night in the bathtub OR just a soothing bubble bath for mama! Turn the lights off and light some candles. Get the tub all set up with rose petals, a bath tray with chocolate covered strawberries and a glass of wine.

GALentines!
Or if you’re looking for a GALentines idea, invite your girlfriends over for a casual night in. bring wine, or make a special cocktail. Go all out for the girls you love most! Prep some strawberries and chocolate fondue, throw in a cheese fondue too! Bring out the facemasks, catch up and watch a rom-com.
Another GALentines day idea…
PIZZA! Get your gals together for wine and a DIY heart-shaped pizza bar. Get your ingredients together, ready to go. Everyone can grab a bit of dough and make their own heart-shaped pizza with toppings they love.
