Valentine’s Day is just around the corner—let’s celebrate love differently!
If you’re looking for unique ways to enjoy the season of love with your partner, look no further. This year, skip the typical dinner-and-a-movie routine and opt for an experience reflecting your shared passions.
Whether you and your significant other are creative souls, nature enthusiasts, or devoted pet parents, there’s a perfect activity waiting for you.
For Creative Souls
Raffles Place Park (Raffles Place, Singapore 048625) is the place to be on 13 and 14 February 2025 for the artistically inclined couple. During your lunch break (12 pm-2 pm), immerse yourselves in a free festive craft workshop hosted by Raffles Place Alliance. This isn’t just any crafting session—you’ll be upcycling leftover red packets from Chinese New Year into beautiful origami creations.
Imagine transforming something destined for the trash into a meaningful keepsake—a tangible representation of your love and resourcefulness. Customize your designs with paint markers for a personal touch. Keep your handcrafted treasures as a reminder of your special Valentine’s Day or contribute them to the “Tree of Fortune” installation, symbolizing prosperity and goodwill for the year ahead.
For Nature Enthusiasts
If you and your partner find solace in the natural world, CHIJMES (30 Victoria St, Singapore 187996) offers a delightful experience for plant lovers. The Botanical Bliss Workshop, running until 16 February 2025 from 5 pm-10 pm, invites you to nurture a “plant baby” together. Browse through a selection of plants and choose one that resonates with your relationship—a symbol of your growing love.
When you purchase an artisan pot, the experience is even sweeter with a complimentary plant. For a more hands-on experience, participate in the free potting workshop and learn the art of caring for your new green companion. On the same day, enjoy a 10% discount on any plant when you dine at a CHIJMES restaurant.
For Pet Parents
For couples whose hearts belong to their furry companions, CHIJMES is hosting “A Pawlentine’s Weekend” on 22 and 23 February 2025, from 2pm-8pm. This event is a paradise for pet lovers and their fur babies.
Kick off the day with an al fresco dining experience at one of the pet-friendly restaurants. Spend at least $20 to unlock a complimentary spot at the Love Bites workshop or claim an exclusive Instinct pet goodie bag. At 3 pm on both days, unleash your inner pastry chef and decorate cupcakes for your beloved pets.
Afterwards, let your furkids enjoy the obstacle course while you explore the bustling Pet Market, featuring a variety of pet-related goods and services. Finally, commemorate this special occasion with a personalized pet portrait by Hope for Animals artists—supporting a worthy cause while creating a lasting memory of your pet.
This Valentine’s Day, celebrate love in a way that truly reflects who you are—whether through creativity, nature, or your beloved pets!
