🔥 New beau

  • Take a paint and sip class | Let the professionals at Pinot’s Palette guide you through your own painting while you enjoy your favorite beverage.
  • Go dancing | Ever wanted to try your hand at ballroom, swing, or Latin dancing? Try learning from the crew at The Salsa Center.
  • Swap dinner for drinks + dessert | Ditch the Valentine’s Day dinner. Opt for a coffee date at Kenwick Table, or meet up for cocktails + dessert at Lockbox.

❤️ Longtime love

  • Get a couple’s massage | Splurge on a relaxing treatment at Woodhouse Day Spa. Pro tip: Add on a facial or pedicure, because why not?
  • Book a staycation | Reserve an overnight or weekend stay at The Kentucky Castle or Origin Hotel. Who says a romantic getaway requires flights?
  • Treat your inner child | When’s the last time you went roller skating or tried painting pottery? Hop in the time machine with your partner and do something younger you would enjoy.

👯 Gal pals

  • Host a Galentine’s party | Order some of these specialty Galentine’s treats from European Delights Bakery + host a gathering fit for queens.

Not in the Valentine’s Day spirit? Reach out to the Kentucky Wildlife Center. For a $10 donation, the wildlife center will name a cockroach after your ex + feed it to one of its permanent residents.
