Ah, February 14th. The day that reminds us how loved we are (and yes, sometimes how single we are). No matter what your standings are towards this day that "was used to sell hallmark cards" (Ron Swanson-style opinion on birthdays, still applies), there is no reason that you can't have a fun night out-- or in. Whether the club or your covers are going up this Tuesday, here are some last minute planning ideas that are sure to be some fun:
1. Go on the Parkway.
Just because it isn't fall anymore, doesn't mean it isn't still your favorite place to go in Boone (besides your bed).
2. Have a Galentine's Day.
Everyone knows February 13th is "Ladies celebrating Ladies," and it should be a national holiday.
3. Go to Cobo.
Best place to get sushi in Boone? Best date? Can't go wrong.
4. Explore Downtown Asheville.
5. Escape to Mysterium.
6. Watch all of the Harry Potter movies.
If you aren't all about hitting the town (or you have an 8 am the next day), pop in some movies and watch Daniel Radcliffe in his prime.
7. Have a game night with friends.
8. Play "This is SO you" in Walmart's Valentine's section.
There are a lot of options for Valentine's gifts in their seasonal section. The concept of the game is simple: find things that are super tacky/something your S.O would hate, then go up to them and pretend like you're picking it out for them. Whoever finds the most outrageous things wins.
9. Go to Boone Bagelry.
10. Buy each other a gag gift at the Dollar Store.
Make fun of the things people will try to sell you by picking out cheap, tacky gifts. What could be better than laughing together when you see what you bought?
11. Play "What are the odds?"
Like a grown up truth-or-dare, "What are the odds" will have you dying of laughter if you're hanging with your friends or with your S.O. A must have.
12. Eat breakfast food.
"Give me all the bacon and eggs you have." - Ron Swanson
13. Make a fort in your bedroom.
Ignore the haters and get cozy.
Whether you're turning up or turning the channels on your remote, make sure you are doing exactly what you want to celebrate this Valentine's. No cheesy Hallmark bear required.
