For all the single women out there, you need not worry about anyone pampering you this Valentine’s Day. Here’s what you can do instead:

  • Place an order for fresh flowers with your favourite florist.
  • Look for a florist that offers extras like chocolates with your flower delivery. Some even offer free chocolates so choose one of these options if you are looking for a particularly good deal.
  • You could even take it one step further and order a romantic gift hamper for yourself. After all, you know exactly what you like so you can order a hamper that will definitely make you smile.
  • Plan an evening out with your fellow single friends. Instead of taking the night to look for a new boyfriend, just enjoy yourself and the company of other singles.
  • If you know that one of your friends has recently lost their partner or spouse, you might want to spoil them a little too. Send flowers or a gift basket with a special message attached to make them feel special.

 

As for all the single men out there, here are some tips for you:

  • Start by ignoring any stereotypical ideas that society has come to expect. There are no rules against you pampering yourself.
  • Send yourself a gift hamper like a nice bottle of whisky or even a beer crate with delicious snacks. Invite your buddies over to share so that you don’t end up drinking alone.
  • Go out with your single friends and have a good time. You should not depend on having somebody on your arm just to make yourself feel good.
