It\u2019s all about celebrating your love for that special someone in your life, and you\u2019ve probably started planning how you\u2019re going to spoil your partner in twisted ways already\u2026 Or you don\u2019t have someone notable as yet, and you\u2019re just thinking about how to treat yourself and the singles around you. If you\u2019re not a Valentine\u2019s <em>softie<\/em>, here are fresh ways to enjoy an anti-Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Anti-Valentines Ideas<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These ideas are perfect for those couples who enjoy humour or the single bird still out there enjoying her\/his freedom. Instead of giving the standard <em>blah blah<\/em> Valentine\u2019s cards, give your partner a card with the words \u2018It\u2019s remarkable how long we\u2019ve tolerated each other.\u2019 or \u2018You\u2019re the reason I can\u2019t breathe.\u2019 &#8211; cheeky Valentine\u2019s Day messages will put a smile on your partner\u2019s face. Except for cards, there are various sassy gifts like mug sets with similar messaging printed on them.<\/p>\n<p>Other anti-Valentine celebrations could include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Throwing an anti-Valentine\u2019s get-together: <\/strong>Limit people without a significant other and include couples that don\u2019t celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day. Hand out black roses, play singles games and have people exchange anti-Valentine\u2019s gifts (gag gifts). Replace the pink and red colours with fun themes such as Country Western, Marshmallow Appreciation Day, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Valentine\u2019s Day pi\u00f1ata:<\/strong> Let everyone take turns in smacking the pi\u00f1ata and ensure that there is something fun inside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom-order candy hearts:<\/strong> Everyone loves chocolates, during Valentine\u2019s Day <em>and<\/em> any other day. Order candy hearts with the right slogans on them for your guests and see who laughs the hardest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Order an anti-Valentine\u2019s cake:<\/strong> \u2026or cupcakes, and hand them out to work colleagues, friends and family. Have funny slogans, but not too mean, or cake toppers such as a broken glitter heart. The cake could have some black hearts too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dinner!<\/strong> Everyone\u2019s gotta eat, right!? It doesn\u2019t have to be romantic, but a quick dinner from one of <a href=\"https:\/\/sandtoncentral.co.za\/store-directory\/eat-and-drink\">Sandton\u2019s restaurants<\/a> with another single friend, a single parent or an acquaintance would be perfect. If you don\u2019t want to be around people, dress up your pet for dinner at home&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gift your single friends: <\/strong>You\u2019re not alone and let your single friends know it too. Pop into any of Sandton Central\u2019s stores and search for great anti-Valentine\u2019s mugs or t-shirts or customised items. Also, if one of your friends went through a recent breakup, think about building a relationship breakup-survival kit \u2013 they would appreciate it more than you think!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day as a couple:<\/strong> Many couples don\u2019t like Valentine\u2019s Day either. If you\u2019re in the same boat, join your single friends for a night out or spend it together on the couch watching your favourite Netflix series together, or start a new series, with no romance whatsoever, instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play the right music:<\/strong> You\u2019ll feel better by playing anti-Valentine\u2019s music such as Kelly Clarkson\u2019s Since You\u2019ve Been Gone or Bon Jovi\u2019s It\u2019s My Life. So, blow up the speakers with songs that\u2019ll empower you to accept that you\u2019re living your life the way you want to!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Valentine\u2019s Day is for everyone. Whether you\u2019re choosing to celebrate it in the old-fashioned, cheesy way or mostly in black, or <em>grey<\/em>, just ensure that you and the ones you spend it with are having fun. Be on the lookout for Valentine\u2019s specials on our <a href=\"https:\/\/sandtoncentral.co.za\/\">website<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sandtoncentral\/\">Instagram<\/a>.
