How To Spend Valentine’s Day With Friends

Cupids’ Cocktail Night

Every friend-circle is bound to have that ‘one friend’ who loves to host the group. Encourage them (...or maybe yourself!) to host a dinner-and-cocktail-night. Add some fun by cheffin’ up some delicious surprises, like a heart-shaped gourmet style pizza. (Check out this list for some cocktail pairing inspiration). If you would like to keep things simple, a charcuterie board filled with a variety of sweet and savory hors d'oeuvres are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Or make the celebration potluck-style, where each friend brings their own favorite dish. However you choose your meal preparation, have fun sipping drinks together and breaking bread with your favorite people.

Hike With Friends

Love is meant to be an adventure, right? Celebrate National Love Day by bringing out your friends’ adventurous side. Find a scenic location and enjoy a hike through nature! Participating in a physical activity with friends becomes an experience you get to share together; and motivating each other through something challenging, in a healthy way, only strengthens that bond. It’s a great way to make a fun moment, and is sure to leave everyone exhausted in delight afterwards. (Thanks, endorphins!)
