Here are 5 free activities to do in case you’re saving up for something and you’re on a budget:

2. Write love letters to each other, because WHY NOT? I mean, just show me one single person who never thought of the kind of love Mr Darcy and Elizabeth had. 
3. Have a cook-off competition because who doesn’t love good food? Especially when you’re playing to win.
4. How about some good laughs doing at home karaoke with your one? I’M IN LOVE WITH THE SHAPE OF YOUUUU
5. Take a long romantic drive and maybe catch a sunset by the beach or end up stargazing somewhere.

Whether you’re single, going through a breakup, or just not a fan of the holiday, Anti-Valentine’s Day is a way to embrace the less traditional and more alternative side of this holiday. But beyond the celebrations, Anti-Valentine’s Day is also an opportunity to focus on kindness and spreading positivity.

One of the best ways to celebrate Anti-Valentine’s Day is to spend time with friends and loved ones. Whether you’re going out for dinner, catching a movie, or simply hanging out at home, spending time with those who make you happy is the perfect way to escape the holiday. You can also use this day to focus on self-care and do something you’ve been putting off, like taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or going for a walk.

Another way to celebrate Anti-Valentine’s Day is to spread kindness and positivity to those around you.

This can be as simple as leaving a positive note for a stranger, volunteering at a local charity, or simply showing gratitude to those who matter to you. The act of kindness can be contagious and spread throughout your community, making a positive impact on the lives of others.
