For many, celebrating Valentine’s Day means spending quality time with a significant other, whether hitting the town for a date night, Netflix and chilling at home or video chatting from across the globe. For others, it’s a day to show all your loved ones how much you care, from family members to best friends. However you observe, a range of themed events in the next few days will ensure everyone has a fun-filled holiday — even if you haven’t been bitten by the love bug.
