Love is in the air today as we all prepare to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Couples are scrambling to find the perfect cards, ordering flowers, and making reservations for that romantic night out… while another group watches all of this with palpable dread. The anti-Valentine’s Day crowd is comprised of people with varying reasons to despise the holiday. Some are single and hate the emphasis on needing someone else, some are single and bitter about the remind, and others just hate how commercial the entire operation is.
If you’re in this group, there’s no reason for you to be left out of the celebrations. Whether you want to throw a party or even just embrace your anti-Valentine spirit, Pinterest has everything you need to make this holiday not so sickening.
