Showing love and appreciation to your loved ones doesn’t need to be limited to buying them flowers and chocolates. You can be innovative and find new ways to express your affection, care and gratitude towards them – be it by doing meaningful things or simply spending quality time together.

Here are several creative ideas to show your love:

Stargaze With Your Sweetheart

Be awestruck by the Andromeda galaxy at Woodlands Galaxy CC. The aptly-named community club has its very own NASA-grade telescope. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a meteor shower!

Be sure to purchase your $1 observatory admission in advance.

When Life Gets Tuft

Looking for a heartfelt, handmade gift along with a fun time? Get crafty and give tufting a shot. During the workshop, you’ll create a rug from scratch by using a tufting gun to punch yarn into a sheet of loosely woven fabric.

Let Love Bloom

Surprise your boo with a wellness bouquet crafted with fruits and vegetables! Alternatively, you can create a thoughtful bouquet tailored to their personal preferences. For the best value, use your CDC vouchers when buying bouquet materials.

Dine and Do Good

This Valentine’s Day, support social causes by dining at cafes like Professor Brawn. Along with serving up flavourful western fare, the cafe aims to champion inclusivity by employing those with special needs.

Pedal in Tandem

Soak up nature’s beauty as you and your sweetheart cycle breezily through park connectors like the North Eastern Riverine Loop. With glistening coastlines and panoramic views to behold, this loop is one of Singapore’s most scenic park connectors.

Long Walks on the Beach

Escape the hustle of city life and explore the scenic beauty of Singapore’s Southern Islands – namely St. John’s, Lazarus and Kusu Island. Let your hair down and enjoy each other’s company through picnics and strolls.

Volunteer Your Time

Are both of you passionate about supporting a certain social cause? From teaching children to befriending the elderly, Giving.sg offers a host of volunteering experiences to participate in together.

Against All Odds

Put your agility and balance to the test at Adventure HQ’s Ninja Course! Conquer obstacle courses as a team together, or pit your skills against each other. Don’t forget to dress in full-black outfits for added ninja vibes.
